The inlined functions don't actually appear in the generated code.
Look at the code generation differences for kernel/sched.c
function place_entity
$ size sched.inline.o sched.if0.o
text data bss dec hex filename
31385 2854 328 34567 8707 sched.inline.o
31366 2854 328 34548 86f4 sched.if0.o
The current preprocessed only kernel/sched.i file contains:
# 612 "include/linux/device.h"
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))
dev_dbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...)
{
return 0;
}
# 628 "include/linux/device.h"
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))
dev_vdbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...)
{
return 0;
}
But the function place_entity doesn't use it directly or indirectly.
If the lines above are removed, the generated code for place_entity changes.
static void
place_entity(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se, int initial)
{
u64 vruntime;
vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;
if (sched_feat(TREE_AVG)) {
struct sched_entity *last = __pick_last_entity(cfs_rq);
if (last) {
vruntime += last->vruntime;
vruntime >>= 1;
}
} else if (sched_feat(APPROX_AVG) && cfs_rq->nr_running)
vruntime += sched_vslice(cfs_rq)/2;
/*
* The 'current' period is already promised to the current tasks,
* however the extra weight of the new task will slow them down a
* little, place the new task so that it fits in the slot that
* stays open at the end.
*/
if (initial && sched_feat(START_DEBIT))
vruntime += sched_vslice_add(cfs_rq, se);
if (!initial) {
/* sleeps upto a single latency don't count. */
if (sched_feat(NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS))
vruntime -= sysctl_sched_latency;
/* ensure we never gain time by being placed backwards. */
vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime);
}
se->vruntime = vruntime;
}
