Hi.

Good!

I analyzed that slightly and there are still IPA ICF merged that happen
(this time valid transformations):

/home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/cmse/cmse-15.c:14:5: optimized: Semantic equality hit:nonsecure0/4->nonsecure2/6
/home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/cmse/cmse-15.c:14:5: optimized: Assembler symbol names:nonsecure0/4->nonsecure2/6

/home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/cmse/cmse-15.c:33:5: optimized: Semantic equality hit:secure0/8->secure2/10
/home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/cmse/cmse-15.c:33:5: optimized: Assembler symbol names:secure0/8->secure2/10

and with -Os nosecure2 -> mosecure0 call is not inlined bad again. That makes the scanning pattern to miss:

-Os version:
nonsecure2:
	@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
	@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
	@ link register save eliminated.
	b	nonsecure0

-O2 version:
nonsecure2:
	@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
	@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
	push	{r4, lr}
	lsrs	r0, r0, #1
	lsls	r0, r0, #1
	mov	r1, r0
	mov	r2, r0
	mov	r3, r0
	bl	__gnu_cmse_nonsecure_call
