C [C99] has peculiar rules for inline functions that are different from the
C++ rules. Unlike C++ where inline is "fire and forget", in C a programmer
must pay attention to the function's storage class / visibility. The main
problem is with the case where a compiler decides to not inline a call to the
function declared as inline.
Some relevant links:

- http://www.drdobbs.com/the-new-c-inline-functions/184401540
The summary is that either the inline functions should be declared 'static
inline' or one of the compilation units (.c files) must provide a callable
externally visible function definition. In the former case, the compiler would
automatically create a local non-inlined function instance in every compilation
unit where it's needed. In the latter case the single external definition is
used to satisfy any non-inlined calls in all compilation units. As things
stand right now, we can get an undefined reference error under certain
combinations of compilers and compiler options. For example, this is what I
get on FreeBSD when compiling with clang 4.0.0 and -O1:
In function `abd_free': /usr/src/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/abd.c:385:
undefined reference to `abd_is_linear'

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel and installkernel targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel and installkernel targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
