Steven Rostedt (Google) fde59ab161 tracing/filter: Call filter predicate functions directly via a switch statement
Due to retpolines, indirect calls are much more expensive than direct
calls. The filters have a select set of functions it uses for the
predicates. Instead of using function pointers to call them, create a
filter_pred_fn_call() function that uses a switch statement to call the
predicate functions directly. This gives almost a 10% speedup to the
filter logic.

Using the histogram benchmark:

Before:

 # event histogram
 #
 # trigger info: hist:keys=delta:vals=hitcount:sort=delta:size=2048 if delta > 0 [active]
 #

{ delta:        113 } hitcount:        272

After:

The peak before was 126ns per event, after the peak is 114ns, and the
fastest time went from 113ns to 103ns.

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.
