[PATCH] mm: simplify size2index conversion of __kmalloc_index

From: Dawei Li
Date: Sun Aug 28 2022 - 11:15:21 EST


Current size2index is implemented by one to one hardcode mapping,
which can be improved by order_base_2().
Must be careful to not violate compile-time optimization rule.

Generated code for caller of kmalloc:
48 8b 3d 9f 0b 6b 01 mov 0x16b0b9f(%rip),%rdi
# ffffffff826d1568 <kmalloc_caches+0x48>
ba 08 01 00 00 mov $0x108,%edx
be c0 0d 00 00 mov $0xdc0,%esi
e8 98 d7 2e 00 callq ffffffff8130e170 <kmem_cache_alloc_trace>
