Right now, hashtab_search(), hashtab_insert(), and hashtab_map() are defined in hashtab.c and need to call functions indirectly by function pointers. It turns out that defining (the relevent parts of) these functions inline in the header and passing the function pointers as arguments makes them significantly faster (verified for hashtab_search() at least). The first patch is a minor refactoring of symtab usage in preparation for the next patch. The second patch modifies the hashtab interface so that callbacks are always passed directly. The last patch finishes the job by moving some of the function definitions to the header. The last two patches could be also just one patch, but are kept separate for easier review of changes in the functions that are being moved around. For more details, please refer to the respective patch descriptions. Changes in v2: - drop already applied v1 patches 1 and 2 - reword patch descriptions to better explain what is going on and why - split out some of the symtab changes into a separate patch - tweak the signature and argument names of symtab_insert() Ondrej Mosnacek (3): selinux: specialize symtab insert and search functions selinux: prepare for inlining of hashtab functions selinux: complete the inlining of hashtab functions security/selinux/ss/conditional.c | 4 +- security/selinux/ss/conditional.h | 2 +- security/selinux/ss/hashtab.c | 79 ++---------------- security/selinux/ss/hashtab.h | 98 +++++++++++++++++++---- security/selinux/ss/mls.c | 23 +++--- security/selinux/ss/policydb.c | 128 +++++++++++++++++++----------- security/selinux/ss/policydb.h | 9 +++ security/selinux/ss/services.c | 38 ++++----- security/selinux/ss/symtab.c | 21 ++++- security/selinux/ss/symtab.h | 3 + 10 files changed, 232 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) -- 2.25.4
