+@subsubsection Inlining rules
+On the x86, the inliner does not inline a
+function that has different target options than the caller, unless the
+callee has a subset of the target options of the caller. For example
+a function declared with @code{target("sse3")} can inline a function
+with @code{target("sse2")}, since @code{-msse3} implies @code{-msse2}.
+
+Besides the basic rule, when a function specifies
+@code{target("arch=@var{ARCH}")} or @code{target("tune=@var{TUNE}")}
+attribute, the inlining rule will be different. It allows inlining of
+a function with default @option{-march=x86-64} and
+@option{-mtune=generic} specified, or a function that has a subset
+of ISA features and marked with always_inline.
