Christophe Leroy dfe537b0c9 net: Force inlining of checksum functions in net/checksum.h
commit 5486f5bf790b5c664913076c3194b8f916a5c7ad upstream.

All functions defined as static inline in net/checksum.h are
meant to be inlined for performance reason.

But since commit ac7c3e4ff4 ("compiler: enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly") the compiler is allowed to
uninline functions when it wants.

Fair enough in the general case, but for tiny performance critical
checksum helpers that's counter-productive.

The problem mainly arises when selecting CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE,
Those helpers being 'static inline' in header files you suddenly find
them duplicated many times in the resulting vmlinux.

Here is a typical exemple when building powerpc pmac32_defconfig
with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE. csum_sub() appears 4 times:

	c04a23cc <csum_sub>:
	c04a23cc:	7c 84 20 f8 	not     r4,r4
	c04a23d0:	7c 63 20 14 	addc    r3,r3,r4
	c04a23d4:	7c 63 01 94 	addze   r3,r3
	c04a23d8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
		...
	c04a2ce8:	4b ff f6 e5 	bl      c04a23cc <csum_sub>
		...
	c04a2d2c:	4b ff f6 a1 	bl      c04a23cc <csum_sub>
		...
	c04a2d54:	4b ff f6 79 	bl      c04a23cc <csum_sub>
		...

	c04a7550:	7c 63 20 14 	addc    r3,r3,r4
	c04a7554:	7c 63 01 94 	addze   r3,r3
	c04a7558:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
		...
	c04ac930:	4b ff ac 1d 	bl      c04a754c <csum_sub>
		...
	c04ad264:	4b ff a2 e9 	bl      c04a754c <csum_sub>
		...
	c04e3b08 <csum_sub>:
	c04e3b08:	7c 84 20 f8 	not     r4,r4
	c04e3b0c:	7c 63 20 14 	addc    r3,r3,r4
	c04e3b10:	7c 63 01 94 	addze   r3,r3
	c04e3b14:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
		...
	c04e5788:	4b ff e3 81 	bl      c04e3b08 <csum_sub>
		...
	c04e65c8:	4b ff d5 41 	bl      c04e3b08 <csum_sub>
		...
	c0512d34 <csum_sub>:
	c0512d34:	7c 84 20 f8 	not     r4,r4
	c0512d38:	7c 63 20 14 	addc    r3,r3,r4
	c0512d3c:	7c 63 01 94 	addze   r3,r3
	c0512d40:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
		...
	c0512dfc:	4b ff ff 39 	bl      c0512d34 <csum_sub>
		...
	c05138bc:	4b ff f4 79 	bl      c0512d34 <csum_sub>
		...

Restore the expected behaviour by using __always_inline for all
functions defined in net/checksum.h

vmlinux size is even reduced by 256 bytes with this patch:

	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	6980022	2515362	 194384	9689768	 93daa8	vmlinux.before
	6979862	2515266	 194384	9689512	 93d9a8	vmlinux.now

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.
