With allocation fastpaths no longer divided between two .c files, we have better inlining, however checking the disassembly of kmem_cache_alloc() reveals we can do better to make the fastpaths smaller and move the less common situations out of line or to separate functions, to reduce instruction cache pressure. - split memcg pre/post alloc hooks to inlined checks that use likely() to assume there will be no objcg handling necessary, and non-inline functions doing the actual handling - add some more likely/unlikely() to pre/post alloc hooks to indicate which scenarios should be out of line - change gfp_allowed_mask handling in slab_post_alloc_hook() so the code can be optimized away when kasan/kmsan/kmemleak is configured out bloat-o-meter shows: add/remove: 4/2 grow/shrink: 1/8 up/down: 521/-2924 (-2403) Function old new delta __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook - 461 +461 kmem_cache_alloc_bulk 775 791 +16 __pfx_should_failslab.constprop - 16 +16 __pfx___memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook - 16 +16 should_failslab.constprop - 12 +12 __pfx_memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook 16 - -16 kmem_cache_alloc_lru 1295 1023 -272 kmem_cache_alloc_node 1118 817 -301 kmem_cache_alloc 1076 772 -304 kmalloc_node_trace 1149 838 -311 kmalloc_trace 1102 789 -313 __kmalloc_node_track_caller 1393 1080 -313 __kmalloc_node 1397 1082 -315 __kmalloc 1374 1059 -315 memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook 464 - -464 Note that gcc still decided to inline __memcg_pre_alloc_hook(), but the code is out of line. Forcing noinline did not improve the results. As a result the fastpaths are shorter and overal code size is reduced.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
