Subject: locking/rwsem: Add __always_inline annotation to __down_read_common() and inlined callers
From: John Stultz <jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 92cc5d00a431e96e5a49c0b97e5ad4fa7536bd4b upstream.
Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler
may not inline __down_read_common() which makes it difficult
to identify the cause of lock contention, as the blocked
function in traceevents will always be listed as
__down_read_common().
So this patch adds __always_inline annotation to the common
function (as well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to
be inlined so the blocking function will be listed (via Wchan)
in traceevents.
