Linus Torvalds a15fd609ad tracing: Simplify "if" macro code
Peter Zijlstra noticed that with CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES, the "if"
macro converts the conditional to an array index.  This can cause GCC
to create horrible code.  When there are nested ifs, the generated code
uses register values to encode branching decisions.

Josh Poimboeuf found that replacing the define "if" macro from using
the condition as an array index and incrementing the branch statics
with an if statement itself, reduced the asm complexity and shrinks the
generated code quite a bit.

But this can be simplified even further by replacing the internal if
statement with a ternary operator.

README

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.
