fs/binfmt_elf.c: better codegen around current->mm
"current->mm" pointer is stable in general except few cases one of which execve(2). Compiler can't treat is as stable but it _is_ stable most of the time. During ELF loading process ->mm becomes stable right after flush_old_exec(). Help compiler by caching current->mm, otherwise it continues to refetch it. add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-141 (-141) Function old new delta elf_core_dump 5062 5039 -23 load_elf_binary 5426 5308 -118 Note: other cases are left as is because it is either pessimisation or no change in binary size.
