[PATCH] mellanox: mlx5: Use logging functions to reduce text ~10k/5%

[PATCH] mellanox: mlx5: Use logging functions to reduce text ~10k/5%

[Joe Perches]

The logging macros create a bit of duplicated code/text.

Use specialized functions to reduce the duplication.

(defconfig/x86-64)
$ size drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/built-in.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 178634	   2059	     16	 180709	  2c1e5	drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/built-in.o.new
 188679	   2059	     16	 190754	  2e922	drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/built-in.o.old

The output changes now do not include line #,
but do include the function offset.

I've been using a technique like this in some code with good results:

struct source_location
{
   const char *file;
   const char *func;
   const char *format;
   uint16_t line;
};
#define _LOCATION(format) ({static const source_location __location__ = {\
             __FILE__,__PRETTY_FUNCTION__,format,__LINE__};\
	     &__location__;})

void _mlx5_core_err(const struct source_location *loc,struct mlx5_core_dev *dev, ...);
#define mlx5_core_err(dev,format,...) _mlx_core_err(_LOCATION(format),dev,__VA_ARGS__)

The call site .text overhead is the about same as what you have, but
this still retains the function and line number information in
.rodata.

Hello Jason.

As far as I know, no kernel code currently uses a _LOCATION
like macro.

I think your proposal is nearly identical code size to the
existing call.  Also, compiler format/argument checking is
eliminated and I think that is a significant negative.

Using the kernel vsprintf %pS or %ps extension is pretty common.

Using printk("%pS", __builtin_return_address(0)); in the called
function is no overhead at all and returns almost exactly
the same information.

Using more expressive messages is generally better than using
printk("%d", __LINE__);

As far as I see all these functions are used in error paths, so no
implication on performance is expected.

And I'm fine with function offsets.

Saeed,
What do you think?

I continued to play with this patch and it doesn't pass checkpatch.
It looks like corrupted file.

Fine with me, need to fix my comment on functions placement, an your
comment on checkpatch.

Hi Joe,

I like to keep the file organized in a bottom-up fashion.  Those
functions need to appear as early as possible in the file, just move
them up to appear after the MACROs defines and static fields
declarations.
