x86/asm/bitops: Force inlining of test_and_set_bit and friends
Sometimes GCC mysteriously doesn't inline very small functions
we expect to be inlined, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
Arguably, GCC should do better, but GCC people aren't willing
to invest time into it and are asking to use __always_inline
instead.
With this .config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os
here's an example of functions getting deinlined many times:
test_and_set_bit (166 copies, ~1260 calls)
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
f0 48 0f ab 3e lock bts %rdi,(%rsi)
72 04 jb <test_and_set_bit+0xf>
31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
eb 05 jmp <test_and_set_bit+0x14>
b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
test_and_clear_bit (124 copies, ~1000 calls)
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
f0 48 0f b3 3e lock btr %rdi,(%rsi)
72 04 jb <test_and_clear_bit+0xf>
31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
eb 05 jmp <test_and_clear_bit+0x14>
b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
change_bit (3 copies, 8 calls)
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
f0 48 0f bb 3e lock btc %rdi,(%rsi)
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
clear_bit_unlock (2 copies, 11 calls)
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
f0 48 0f b3 3e lock btr %rdi,(%rsi)
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
This patch works it around via s/inline/__always_inline/.
