From fa7ffb39efccd574163ebc5dbfe4ff066186f261 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2016 11:36:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Make rb_reserve_next_event() always inlined The function rb_reserved_next_event() is called by two functions: ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and ring_buffer_write(). This is in a very hot path of the tracing code, and it is best that they are not functions. The two callers are basically wrapers for rb_reserver_next_event(). Removing the function calls can save execution time in the hotpath of tracing.
