driver core: Convert debug functions declared inline __attribute__((format (printf,x,y) to statement expression macros
When DEBUG is not defined, pr_debug and dev_dbg and some other local debugging functions are specified as: "inline __attribute__((format (printf, x, y)))" This is done to validate printk arguments when not debugging. Converting these functions to macros or statement expressions "do { if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); } while (0)" or "({ if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); 0; }) makes at least gcc 4.2.2 produce smaller objects. This has the additional benefit of allowing the optimizer to avoid calling functions like print_mac that might have been arguments to the printk. defconfig x86 current: $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 4716770 474560 618496 5809826 58a6a2 vmlinux all converted: (More patches follow) $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 4716642 474560 618496 5809698 58a622 vmlinux Even kernel/sched.o, which doesn't even use these functions, becomes smaller. It appears that merely having an indirect include of <linux/device.h> can cause bigger objects. $ size sched.inline.o sched.if0.o text data bss dec hex filename 31385 2854 328 34567 8707 sched.inline.o 31366 2854 328 34548 86f4 sched.if0.o The current preprocessed only kernel/sched.i file contains: # 612 "include/linux/device.h" static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3))) dev_dbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...) { return 0; } # 628 "include/linux/device.h" static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3))) dev_vdbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...) { return 0; } Removing these unused inlines from sched.i shrinks sched.o Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
