JasonXuDeveloper/Nino 3.5× Extract loop into a separate non-inlined method to isolate PGO profile for long runs. proof: commit → Dao-AILab/flash-attention 2× Remove runtime branch from TMA load helper to enable inlining and prevent wgmma serialization proof: commit → pocl/pocl 2× Normalize function attributes across all defined functions (strip stack-protector, denormal, strictfp, alwaysinline; unify target-cpu/features) so LLVM's inliner accepts the calls. proof: commit → WebKit/WebKit 1.7× Inline Yarr matcher into DFG/FTL by placing backtracking frame in the outgoing-argument area proof: commit →
