the commit log doesn't match the code.

Did you check generated asm?
I think I saw cases when gcc ignored 'noinline' when function is defined in the
same file and still performed inlining while keeping the function body.
To be safe I think __weak is necessary. That will guarantee noinline.
And please reduce your cc next time. It's way too long.
