Subject: arm64/mm: __always_inline to improve fork() perf
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 10:32:04 +0000
As set_ptes() and wrprotect_ptes() become a bit more complex, the compiler
may choose not to inline them. But this is critical for fork()
performance. So mark the functions, along with contpte_try_unfold() which
is called by them, as __always_inline. This is worth ~1% on the fork()
microbenchmark with order-0 folios (the common case).
