This one makes me slightly nervous, because it isn't clear that these aren't potentially performance sensitive.

CALL instruction is not a crime :)
It costs about the same as one read-modify-write
operation on a memory operand.

This function is used in signal delivery code.
If performance critical code uses massive numbers
of signals, it already has a problem, Unix signals
are too inefficient. That's why we have futexes etc...

I must correct myself: there are two callsites, not four.
(There are four calls in the source, but two of them are
in 32-bit code and two are in 64-bit).

True, but in general I don't think that justifies anything -- and not only
referring to this particular signal patch.

Nothing really against or in favor of these patches, but I don't think that
saving 240 bytes (or whatever) is worth such changes, in fact we have Josh's
tinyfication project for those systems that do in fact care.

Thanks,
Davidlohr

And what exactly is wrong with slimming down the mainline kernel? We
have tons of inlines which are way too fat and an extra unconditional
function call is not going to show up as a performance degradation by
any means.

Thanks,
