Subject: [PATCH] smp: harmonize prototypes of smp functions
Avoid unnecessary casts from int to bool in smp functions. Some
functions in kernel/smp.c have a wait parameter that can be set to one
if you want to wait for the command to complete. It's defined as bool
in a few of them and int in the rest. If a function with wait
declared as int calls a function whose prototype has wait defined as
bool, the compiler needs to test if the int is != 0 and change it to 1
if so. This useless check can be avoided if we are consistent and
make all the functions use the same type for this parameter.
For example in arm, before this patch:
800464e4 <smp_call_function>:
800464e4: b538 push {r3, r4, r5, lr}
800464e6: 460d mov r5, r1
800464e8: 4613 mov r3, r2 ; move wait to r3
800464ea: f64f 448c movw r4, #64652
800464ee: 3300 adds r3, #0 ; test if wait is 0
800464f0: f2c8 0425 movt r4, #32805
800464f4: 4601 mov r1, r0
800464f6: bf18 it ne
800464f8: 2301 movne r3, #1 ; if it is not, wait = 1
800464fa: 462a mov r2, r5
800464fc: 6820 ldr r0, [r4, #0]
800464fe: f7ff fea9 bl 80046254 <smp_call_function_many>
80046502: 2000 movs r0, #0
80046504: bd38 pop {r3, r4, r5, pc}
80046506: bf00 nop
After the patch:
800464e4 <smp_call_function>:
800464e4: b538 push {r3, r4, r5, lr}
800464e6: 460d mov r5, r1
800464e8: 4613 mov r3, r2 ; just move it to r3
800464ea: f64f 448c movw r4, #64652
800464ee: 4601 mov r1, r0
800464f0: f2c8 0425 movt r4, #32805
800464f4: 462a mov r2, r5
800464f6: 6820 ldr r0, [r4, #0]
800464f8: f7ff feac bl 80046254 <smp_call_function_many>
800464fc: 2000 movs r0, #0
800464fe: bd38 pop {r3, r4, r5, pc}
Same for x86. Before:
ffffffff8109bf10 <smp_call_function>:
ffffffff8109bf10: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff8109bf11: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff8109bf14: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx ; ecx = 0
ffffffff8109bf16: 85 d2 test %edx,%edx ; test if wait is 0
ffffffff8109bf18: 48 89 f2 mov %rsi,%rdx
ffffffff8109bf1b: 48 89 fe mov %rdi,%rsi
ffffffff8109bf1e: 48 8b 3d 4b d3 76 00 mov 0x76d34b(%rip),%rdi # ffffffff81809270 <cpu_online_mask>
ffffffff8109bf25: 0f 95 c1 setne %cl ; if it is not, ecx = 1
ffffffff8109bf28: e8 43 fc ff ff callq ffffffff8109bb70 <smp_call_function_many>
ffffffff8109bf2d: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
ffffffff8109bf2f: 5d pop %rbp
ffffffff8109bf30: c3 retq
After:
ffffffff8109bf20 <smp_call_function>:
ffffffff8109bf20: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff8109bf21: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff8109bf24: 89 d1 mov %edx,%ecx ; just move wait to ecx
ffffffff8109bf26: 48 89 f2 mov %rsi,%rdx
ffffffff8109bf29: 48 89 fe mov %rdi,%rsi
ffffffff8109bf2c: 48 8b 3d 3d d3 76 00 mov 0x76d33d(%rip),%rdi # ffffffff81809270 <cpu_online_mask>
ffffffff8109bf33: e8 48 fc ff ff callq ffffffff8109bb80 <smp_call_function_many>
ffffffff8109bf38: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
ffffffff8109bf3a: 5d pop %rbp
ffffffff8109bf3b: c3 retq
ffffffff8109bf3c: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)
