I tried it just now:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7480     104       8    7592    1da8 kernel/trace/trace_events.o.orig
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   7482     104       8    7594    1daa kernel/trace/trace_events.o

It increased text size by 2 bytes, gcc did a better work. ;)

And it's not so intuitive what's the limit of val.
