| |
Due to being a __weak function, hw_breakpoint_weight() will cause the compiler to always emit a call to it. This generates unnecessarily bad code (register spills etc.) for no good reason; in fact it appears in profiles of `perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512`:
... 0.70% [kernel] [k] hw_breakpoint_weight ...
While a small percentage, no architecture defines its own hw_breakpoint_weight() nor are there users outside hw_breakpoint.c, which makes the fact it is currently __weak a poor choice.
Change hw_breakpoint_weight()'s definition to follow a similar protocol to hw_breakpoint_slots(), such that if <asm/hw_breakpoint.h> defines hw_breakpoint_weight(), we'll use it instead.
The result is that it is inlined and no longer shows up in profiles.
