mm: tighten up the fault path a little
The round_up() macro generates a couple of unnecessary instructions in this usage: 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%rax 48d5: 48 0d ff 0f 00 00 or $0xfff,%rax 48db: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax 48df: 48 c1 f8 0c sar $0xc,%rax 48e3: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48e6: 72 2e jb 4916 <filemap_fault+0x96> If we change round_up() to ((x) + __round_mask(x, y)) & ~__round_mask(x, y) then GCC can see through it and remove the mask (because that would be dead code given the subsequent shift): 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 05 ff 0f 00 00 add $0xfff,%rax 48d7: 48 c1 e8 0c shr $0xc,%rax 48db: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48de: 72 2e jb 490e <filemap_fault+0x8e> But that's problematic because we'd evaluate 'y' twice. Converting round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other definitions. The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP. Also add an unlikely() because GCC's heuristic is wrong in this case.
