Due to being a __weak function, hw_breakpoint_weight() will cause the
compiler to always emit a call to it. This generates unnecessarily bad
code (register spills etc.) for no good reason; in fact it appears in
profiles of `perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512`:
...
0.70% [kernel] [k] hw_breakpoint_weight
...
While a small percentage, no architecture defines its own
hw_breakpoint_weight() nor are there users outside hw_breakpoint.c,
which makes the fact it is currently __weak a poor choice.
Change hw_breakpoint_weight()'s definition to follow a similar protocol
to hw_breakpoint_slots(), such that if <asm/hw_breakpoint.h> defines
hw_breakpoint_weight(), we'll use it instead.
The result is that it is inlined and no longer shows up in profiles.

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.
