x86/jump-labels: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs
As described in: 77b0bf55bc67: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs") GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining. The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline assembly block - which is also a minor cleanup for the jump-label code. As a result the code size is slightly increased, but inlining decisions are better: text data bss dec hex filename 18163528 10226300 2957312 31347140 1de51c4 ./vmlinux before 18163608 10227348 2957312 31348268 1de562c ./vmlinux after (+1128) And functions such as intel_pstate_adjust_policy_max(), kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(), kvm_register_readl() are inlined.
