x86/asm: Force inlining of cpu_relax()
On x86, cpu_relax() simply calls rep_nop(), which generates one
instruction, PAUSE (aka REP NOP).
With this config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os
gcc-4.7.2 does not always inline rep_nop(): it generates several
copies of this:
<rep_nop> (16 copies, 194 calls):
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
f3 90 pause
5d pop %rbp
c3 retq
See: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/
on rep_nop() and cpu_relax().
( Forcing inlining only on rep_nop() causes GCC to
deinline cpu_relax(), with almost no change in generated code).
