[PATCH v4 1/4] perf/x86/amd: ensure amd_pmu_core_disable_all() is always inlined
From: Andrii Nakryiko
Date: Sun Mar 31 2024 - 00:18:58 EST
In the following patches we will enable LBR capture on AMD CPUs at
arbitrary point in time, which means that LBR recording won't be frozen
by hardware automatically as part of hardware overflow event. So we need
to take care to minimize amount of branches and function calls/returns
on the path to freezing LBR, minimizing LBR snapshot altering as much as
possible.
amd_pmu_core_disable_all() is one of the functions on this path, and is
already marked as __always_inline. But it calls amd_pmu_set_global_ctl()
which is marked as just inline. So to guarantee no function call will
be generated thoughout mark amd_pmu_set_global_ctl() as __always_inline
as well.
