__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO. By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves. The improvement is noticeable (about 55 nsec/call on an 8xx) vdsotest before the patch: gettimeofday: vdso: 731 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 668 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 745 nsec/call vdsotest after the patch: gettimeofday: vdso: 677 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 613 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 690 nsec/call Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c39ef7f3dfa25356b01e211d539671f279086c09.1575273217.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr
