mm, rmap: handle anon_vma_prepare() common case inline
anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it inline and avoid a call for the common case. Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size costs: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102) function old new delta __anon_vma_prepare - 359 +359 handle_mm_fault 2744 2796 +52 hugetlb_cow 1146 1170 +24 hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22 wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18 anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373 Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call, which is moved away.
