The inline helpers are quite large. When I was suggesting that the overhead
was minimal, what I expected what that the inline functions would be a
schedstat_enabled() followed by a real function call. It would introduce
a small additional overhead when schedstats are enabled but avoid vmlinux
growing too large
e.g.
static inline void
update_stats_wait_start(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)
{
if (!schedstat_enabled())
return;
__update_stats_wait_start(cfs_rq, se);
}
where __update_stats_wait_start then lives in kernel/sched/stats.c
