Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] slub tracing: move trace calls out of always inlined
functions to reduce kernel code size
Having the trace calls defined in the always inlined kmalloc functions
in include/linux/slub_def.h causes a lot of code duplication as the
trace functions get instantiated for each kamalloc call site. This can
simply be removed by pushing the trace calls down into the functions in
slub.c.
On my x86_64 built this patch shrinks the code size of the kernel by
approx 29K and also shrinks the code size of many modules -- too many to
list here ;)
size vmlinux.o reports
text data bss dec hex filename
4777011 602052 763072 6142135 5db8b7 vmlinux.o
4747120 602388 763072 6112580 5d4544 vmlinux.o.patch
The resulting kernel has had some testing & kmalloc trace still seems to
work.
This patch
- moves trace_kmalloc out of the inlined kmalloc() and pushes it down
into kmem_cache_alloc_trace() so this it only get instantiated once.
- rename kmem_cache_alloc_notrace() to kmem_cache_alloc_trace() to
indicate that now is does have tracing. (maybe this would better being
called something like kmalloc_kmem_cache ?)
- adds a new function kmalloc_order() to handle allocation and tracing
of large allocations of page order.
- removes tracing from the inlined kmalloc_large() replacing them with a
call to kmalloc_order();
- move tracing out of inlined kmalloc_node() and pushing it down into
kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace
- rename kmem_cache_alloc_node_notrace() to
kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace()
- removes the include of trace/events/kmem.h from slub_def.h.
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@....demon.co.uk>
-----
patch against v2.6.36-rc7
compiled & tested on x86_64.
Overall this lowers the overhead of having trace enabled & AFAICT seems
to still work ;)
Do you think this is the correct approach or can you suggest any better
way to do this?
regards
Richard
