Message-Id: <9fc53eda4a5b924070952f12fa4ae3e477640a07.1444091585.git.luto@kernel.org> Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 17:48:23 -0700 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> To: x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@...il.com>, Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@...hat.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH v2 35/36] x86/entry: Split and inline prepare_exit_to_usermode GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part -- it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame setup code into the unlikely part. Help it out with prepare_exit_to_usermode by splitting it into two parts and inline the hot part. Saves 6-8 cycles for compat syscalls.
