Why these functions are not "static inline"?
Wthout "static", gcc will actually create non-inlined version of them!

$ cat t.c
inline int f() { return 1; }
int g() { return f(); }
$ gcc -O2 -c t.c
$ nm --size-sort t.o
0000000a T f   <=================== !!!
0000000a T g

P.S. whitespace style in fasttimer.c doesn't match rest of the kernel
(kernel uses tab, not 2-spaces indentation). Curly braces don't match too:
  if (t0->tv_sec < t1->tv_sec)
  {
    return -1;
  }
should be
      if (t0->tv_sec < t1->tv_sec) {
              return -1;
      }
