[PATCH] ilog2: Force inlining of __ilog2_u32() and __ilog2_u64()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Building a kernel with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE leads to
__ilog2_u32() being duplicated 50 times and __ilog2_u64() 3 times
in vmlinux on a tiny powerpc32 config.

__ilog2_u32() being 2 instructions it is not worth being kept out
of line, so force inlining. Allthough the u64 version is a bit bigger,
there is still a small benefit in keeping it inlined. On a 64 bits
config there's a real benefit.

With this change the size of vmlinux text is reduced by 1 kbytes,
which is approx 50% more than the size of the removed functions.

Before the patch there is for instance:

	c00d2a94 <__ilog2_u32>:
	c00d2a94:	7c 63 00 34 	cntlzw  r3,r3
	c00d2a98:	20 63 00 1f 	subfic  r3,r3,31
	c00d2a9c:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	c00d36d8 <__order_base_2>:
	c00d36d8:	28 03 00 01 	cmplwi  r3,1
	c00d36dc:	40 81 00 2c 	ble     c00d3708 <__order_base_2+0x30>
	c00d36e0:	94 21 ff f0 	stwu    r1,-16(r1)
	c00d36e4:	7c 08 02 a6 	mflr    r0
	c00d36e8:	38 63 ff ff 	addi    r3,r3,-1
	c00d36ec:	90 01 00 14 	stw     r0,20(r1)
	c00d36f0:	4b ff f3 a5 	bl      c00d2a94 <__ilog2_u32>
	c00d36f4:	80 01 00 14 	lwz     r0,20(r1)
	c00d36f8:	38 63 00 01 	addi    r3,r3,1
	c00d36fc:	7c 08 03 a6 	mtlr    r0
	c00d3700:	38 21 00 10 	addi    r1,r1,16
	c00d3704:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
	c00d3708:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	c00d370c:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

With the patch it has become:

	c00d356c <__order_base_2>:
	c00d356c:	28 03 00 01 	cmplwi  r3,1
	c00d3570:	40 81 00 14 	ble     c00d3584 <__order_base_2+0x18>
	c00d3574:	38 63 ff ff 	addi    r3,r3,-1
	c00d3578:	7c 63 00 34 	cntlzw  r3,r3
	c00d357c:	20 63 00 20 	subfic  r3,r3,32
	c00d3580:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
	c00d3584:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	c00d3588:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

No more need for __order_base_2() to setup a stack frame and
save/restore caller address. And the following 'add 1' is
merged in the substract.

Another typical use of it:

	c080ff28 <hugepagesz_setup>:
	...
	c080fff8:	7f c3 f3 78 	mr      r3,r30
	c080fffc:	4b 8f 81 f1 	bl      c01081ec <__ilog2_u32>
	c0810000:	38 63 ff f2 	addi    r3,r3,-14
	...

Becomes

	c080ff1c <hugepagesz_setup>:
	...
	c080ffec:	7f c3 00 34 	cntlzw  r3,r30
	c080fff0:	20 63 00 11 	subfic  r3,r3,17
	...

Here no need to move r30 argument to r3 then substract 14 to result. Just work
on r30 and merge the 'sub 14' with the 'sub from 31'.
