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 36K and also shrinks the code size of many modules -- too many to list here ;) size vmlinux (2.6.36) reports text data bss dec hex filename 5410611 743172 828928 6982711 6a8c37 vmlinux 5373738 744244 828928 6946910 6a005e vmlinux + 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. v2 - keep kmalloc_order_trace inline when !CONFIG_TRACE Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
