locking/spinlocks: Force inlining of spinlock ops
With both gcc 4.7.2 and 4.9.2, sometimes GCC mysteriously
doesn't inline very small functions we expect to be inlined.
See:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122
In particular, with this config:
http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config
there are more than a thousand copies of tiny spinlock-related
functions:
$ nm --size-sort vmlinux | grep -iF ' t ' | uniq -c | grep -v '^ *1 ' | sort -rn | grep ' spin'
473 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_irqrestore
292 000000000000000b t spin_unlock
215 000000000000000b t spin_lock
134 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_irq
130 000000000000000b t spin_unlock_bh
120 000000000000000b t spin_lock_irq
106 000000000000000b t spin_lock_bh
Disassembly:
ffffffff81004720 <spin_lock>:
ffffffff81004720: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff81004721: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff81004724: e8 f8 4e e2 02 callq <_raw_spin_lock>
ffffffff81004729: 5d pop %rbp
ffffffff8100472a: c3 retq
This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/ in
spinlock.h. This decreases vmlinux by about 40k:
