For example, see init_intel_microcode() in arch/x86/include/asm/microcode.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL
extern struct microcode_ops * __init init_intel_microcode(void);
#else
static inline struct microcode_ops * __init init_intel_microcode(void)
{
return NULL;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL */

The actual definition then is in:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel.c:
struct microcode_ops * __init init_intel_microcode(void)

and it gets enabled when CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL is enabled in the
.config. When CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=n, the static inline stub gets used
and optimized away by the compiler.

HTH.
