[PATCH v4 06/14] perf/hw_breakpoint: Optimize constant number of breakpoint slots

From: Marco Elver
Date: Mon Aug 29 2022 - 08:57:22 EST


Optimize internal hw_breakpoint state if the architecture's number of
breakpoint slots is constant. This avoids several kmalloc() calls and
potentially unnecessary failures if the allocations fail, as well as
subtly improves code generation and cache locality.

The protocol is that if an architecture defines hw_breakpoint_slots via
the preprocessor, it must be constant and the same for all types.
