Dave Chinner ddf1e0fd43 xfs: avoid unnecessary runtime sibling pointer endian conversions 
[ Upstream commit 5672225e8f ]

Commit dc04db2aa7 has caused a small aim7 regression, showing a
small increase in CPU usage in __xfs_btree_check_sblock() as a
result of the extra checking.

This is likely due to the endian conversion of the sibling poitners
being unconditional instead of relying on the compiler to endian
convert the NULL pointer at compile time and avoiding the runtime
conversion for this common case.

Rework the checks so that endian conversion of the sibling pointers
is only done if they are not null as the original code did.

.... and these need to be "inline" because the compiler completely
fails to inline them automatically like it should be doing.

$ size fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  51874	    240	      0	  52114	   cb92 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o.orig
  51562	    240	      0	  51802	   ca5a fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o.inline

Just when you think the tools have advanced sufficiently we don't
have to care about stuff like this anymore, along comes a reminder
that *our tools still suck*.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
