Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 05/10] lib: vdso: inline do_hres()
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 14:31:06 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0f8dfb26c025d3e3eee1b5f610161ca19b942df.1577111367.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1577111363.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
do_hres() is called from several places, so GCC doesn't inline
it at first.
do_hres() takes a struct __kernel_timespec * parameter for
passing the result. In the 32 bits case, this parameter corresponds
to a local var in the caller. In order to provide a pointer
to this structure, the caller has to put it in its stack and
do_hres() has to write the result in the stack. This is suboptimal,
especially on RISC processor like powerpc.
By making GCC inline the function, the struct __kernel_timespec
remains a local var using registers, avoiding the need to write and
read stack.
The improvement is significant on powerpc.
