[PATCH] x86: Deinline cpuid_eax and friends

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Wed May 06 2015 - 13:07:48 EST


cpuid_e{a,b,c,d}x() functions compile to 44 bytes of machine code each.
On x86 allyesconfig build they have 48 callsites.
Deinlining all four of them shrinks kernel by about 1k:

text data bss dec hex filename
82434909 22255384 20627456 125317749 7783275 vmlinux.before
82433898 22255384 20627456 125316738 7782e82 vmlinux

Speed impact: CPUID instruction takes from 50 to 350+ cycles,
call overhead is negligible in comparison.
