This makes it easier to find inlining failures in an inlining trace, without having to rely on the message to figure out whether inlining succeeded or failed. Looking at inlining failures is often useful for diagnosing the results of benchmarks, but it can be hard to find inlining failures in lengthy traces.

Why not simply add a "failed to inline:" message? Something like:

                            @ 8   java.lang.foreign.SegmentAllocator::allocate (24 bytes)   failed to inline: already compiled into a big method
                            @ 34   java.lang.foreign.SegmentAllocator::allocate (24 bytes)   failed to inline: already compiled into a big method
                                        @ 19   java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle::linkToNative(JJJL)D (0 bytes)   failed to inline: native call
                                    @ 95   java.lang.foreign.Arena::close (0 bytes)   failed to inline: virtual call
                                    @ 107   jdk.internal.foreign.MemorySessionImpl::release0 (0 bytes)   failed to inline: virtual call
                                        @ 14   jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe::freeMemory0 (0 bytes)   failed to inline: native method
