Lockstat requires checking if it is enabled and if so, calling a 6 argument
function. Further, determining whether to call it on unlock requires
pre-reading the lock value.
This is problematic in at least 3 ways:
- more branches in the hot path than necessary
- additional cacheline ping pong under contention
- bigger code
Instead, check first if lockstat handling is necessary and if so, just fall
back to regular locking routines. For this purpose a new macro is introduced
(LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_ENABLED).
LOCK_PROFILING uninlines all primitives. Fold in the current inline lock
variant into the _mtx_lock_flags to retain the support. With this change
the inline variants are not used when LOCK_PROFILING is defined and thus
can ignore its existence.
This results in:
text data bss dec hex filename
22259667 1303208 4994976 28557851 1b3c21b kernel.orig
21797315 1303208 4994976 28095499 1acb40b kernel.patched
i.e. about 3% reduction in text size.
A remaining action is to remove spurious arguments for internal kernel
consumers.
