The inlined functions don't actually appear in the generated code. Look at the code generation differences for kernel/sched.c function place_entity $ size sched.inline.o sched.if0.o text data bss dec hex filename 31385 2854 328 34567 8707 sched.inline.o 31366 2854 328 34548 86f4 sched.if0.o The current preprocessed only kernel/sched.i file contains: # 612 "include/linux/device.h" static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3))) dev_dbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...) { return 0; } # 628 "include/linux/device.h" static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3))) dev_vdbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...) { return 0; } But the function place_entity doesn't use it directly or indirectly. If the lines above are removed, the generated code for place_entity changes. static void place_entity(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se, int initial) { u64 vruntime; vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime; if (sched_feat(TREE_AVG)) { struct sched_entity *last = __pick_last_entity(cfs_rq); if (last) { vruntime += last->vruntime; vruntime >>= 1; } } else if (sched_feat(APPROX_AVG) && cfs_rq->nr_running) vruntime += sched_vslice(cfs_rq)/2; /* * The 'current' period is already promised to the current tasks, * however the extra weight of the new task will slow them down a * little, place the new task so that it fits in the slot that * stays open at the end. */ if (initial && sched_feat(START_DEBIT)) vruntime += sched_vslice_add(cfs_rq, se); if (!initial) { /* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */ if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS)) vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency; /* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */ vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime); } se->vruntime = vruntime; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
