[RFC PATCH v3 03/12] lib: vdso: mark __cvdso_clock_getres() as static

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Jan 13 2020 - 12:09:30 EST


When __cvdso_clock_getres() became __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
and a new __cvdso_clock_getres() was added, static qualifier was
forgotten.

This change allows the compiler to inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common(),
and the performance improvement is significant:

Before:
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 984 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 922 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-raw: vdso: 968 nsec/call

After:
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 753 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 691 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-raw: vdso: 737 nsec/call

Fixes: 502a590a170b ("lib/vdso: Move fallback invocation to the callers")
