I want to get rid of all "extern inline" in the kernel.
Why?
"extern inline" generates a warning with -Wmissing-prototypes and I'm
currently working on getting the kernel cleaned up for adding this to
the CFLAGS since it will help us to avoid a nasty class of runtime
errors.
"extern inline" was required at the times when
__attribute__((always_inline)) wasn't avalable.
Nowadays, we use "static inline", and if there are places that really
need a forced inline, we use "static __always_inline".
Can someone tell me which of the Alpha "static inline"'s need for some
reason an __always_inline?
And a related question:
Does the never defined __IO_EXTERN_INLINE still have any purpose?

Gentoo kernels are 42 times more popular than SUSE kernels among
KLive users (a service by SUSE contractor Andrea Arcangeli that
gathers data about kernels from many users worldwide).
There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
