So while I agree that with __always_inline and constant propagation we
_should_ end up with the same code, we have:
$ size defconfig-build/kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.{pre,post}
text data bss dec hex filename
3785 2 0 3787 ecb defconfig-build/kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.pre
3673 2 0 3675 e5b defconfig-build/kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.post
The patch actually makes the file shrink.
So I think we still want to have some actual performance numbers.
