From f80b0c904da93b9ad7db2fd9823dd701932df779 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:25:44 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code Commit d6b2123802d "make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()" reshuffled kernel_init()/init_post() to ensure that kernel_execve() has a caller to return to. It removed __init annotation for kernel_init() and introduced/calls a new routine kernel_init_freeable(). Latter however is inlined by any reasonable compiler (ARC gcc 4.4 in this case), causing slight code bloat. This patch forces kernel_init_freeable() as noinline reducing the .text bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux_new add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 374/-334 (40) function old new delta kernel_init_freeable - 374 +374 (.init.text) kernel_init 628 294 -334 (.text) Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- init/main.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/init/main.c b/init/main.c index 85d69dffe864..92d728a32d51 100644 --- a/init/main.c +++ b/init/main.c @@ -802,7 +802,7 @@ static int run_init_process(const char *init_filename) (const char __user *const __user *)envp_init); } -static void __init kernel_init_freeable(void); +static noinline void __init kernel_init_freeable(void); static int __ref kernel_init(void *unused) { @@ -845,7 +845,7 @@ static int __ref kernel_init(void *unused) "See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance."); } -static void __init kernel_init_freeable(void) +static noinline void __init kernel_init_freeable(void) { /* * Wait until kthreadd is all set-up. -- GitLab
