Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:56:59 -0800 From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@...eaurora.org> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Russell King <linux@....linux.org.uk>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...hat.com>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Make OPTIMIZE_INLINING a generic option This option is useful on more architectures than just x86. When this option was introduced Ingo deliberately made it x86 specific since he was uncertain of the amount of testing other architectures had (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/4/285). This option has been tested on ARM v7 with no ill effects observed. Therefore make it generic so ARM can choose it in the next patch.
