Subject: [PATCH] locking/local_lock: Make the empty local_lock_*() function a macro.
Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2022 21:26:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220105202623.1118172-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
It has been said that local_lock() does not add any overhead compared to
preempt_disable() in a !LOCKDEP configuration. A microbenchmark showed
an unexpected result which can be reduced to the fact that local_lock()
was not entirely optimized away.
In the !LOCKDEP configuration local_lock_acquire() is an empty static
inline function. On x86 the this_cpu_ptr() argument of that function is
fully evaluated leading to an additional mov+add instructions which are
not needed and not used.
Replace the static inline function with a macro. The typecheck() macro
ensures that the argument is of proper type while the resulting
disassembly shows no traces of this_cpu_ptr().

On -rc8, size says:
| text data bss dec filename
| 19656718 8681015 3764440 32102173 vmlinux.old
| 19656218 8681015 3764440 32101673 vmlinux.new
Which is -500 text, not much but still.
