powerpc/fadump: rename cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header
The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed
readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are
also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions
set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which
iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access
go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless
indirection.
It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of
indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a
problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see
4/6).
Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a
struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask
becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the
cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after
renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through
cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as
they used to have.
After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be
out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or
false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one
or two instructions.
For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes.
We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte
smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when
iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask
into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each
find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate
address into %rdi before each call.
[1] See Rusty's kind explanation
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for
some historic context.
This patch (of 6):
As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global
cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the
cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply
online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.
