Currently the implementation of "Guard" methods are basically wrappers around rcu's function within kernel. Building the kernel with llvm 18.1.8 on x86_64 machine will generate the following symbols: $ nm vmlinux | grep ' _R'.*Guard | rustfilt ffffffff817b6c90 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard>::new ffffffff817b6cb0 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard>::unlock ffffffff817b6cd0 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop ffffffff817b6c90 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard as core::default::Default>::default These Rust symbols are basically wrappers around functions "rcu_read_lock" and "rcu_read_unlock". Marking them as inline can reduce the generation of these symbols, and saves the size of code generation for 132 bytes. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux_old vmlinux_new (Output is demangled for readability) add/remove: 0/10 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-132 (-132) Function old new delta rust_driver_pci::SampleDriver::probe 1041 1034 -7 kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::default 9 - -9 kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::drop 9 - -9 kernel::sync::rcu::read_lock 9 - -9 kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::unlock 9 - -9 kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::new 9 - -9 __pfx__kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::default 16 - -16 __pfx__kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::drop 16 - -16 __pfx__kernel::sync::rcu::read_lock 16 - -16 __pfx__kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::unlock 16 - -16 __pfx__kernel::sync::rcu::Guard::new 16 - -16 Total: Before=23365955, After=23365823, chg -0.00% Link: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1145 Signed-off-by: I Hsin Cheng <richard120310@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Reviewed-by: Charalampos Mitrodimas <charmitro@posteo.net> Acked-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
