Denys Vlasenko bc27fb68aa include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations ... Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline very small functions we expect to be inlined. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122 With this .config: http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os, the following functions get deinlined many times. Examples of disassembly: <get_unaligned_be16> (12 copies, 51 calls): 66 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%ax 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 86 e0 xchg %ah,%al 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <get_unaligned_be32> (12 copies, 135 calls): 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 0f c8 bswap %eax 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <get_unaligned_be64> (2 copies, 20 calls): 48 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%rax 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 48 0f c8 bswap %rax 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <__swab16p> (16 copies, 146 calls): 55 push %rbp 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 86 e0 xchg %ah,%al 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <__swab32p> (43 copies, ~560 calls): 55 push %rbp 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 0f c8 bswap %eax 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <__swab64p> (21 copies, 119 calls): 55 push %rbp 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax 48 0f c8 bswap %rax 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <__swab32s> (6 copies, 47 calls): 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 0f c8 bswap %eax 89 07 mov %eax,(%rdi) 5d pop %rbp c3 retq This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
