Hi,
Constructing on Jeremy Fitzhardinge's comments about gcc optimizations, I
rewrote (once more) the markers mechanism so that the optimized mode does not
jump between two different inline asm. Instead, the optimized version uses a
load immediate (in assembly) that will be used by a test to decide of a branch
(in C).
The generic, non optimized version, now does almost the same as the optimized
version, but instead of using an immediate value, it uses a value in memory
which must therefore be loaded before each test.
On x86, the result of the fast path is now (the call is put far from the "hot"
instructions at the end of the function) :
...
70: b0 00 mov $0x0,%al (load 0 in al)
72: 84 c0 test %al,%al
74: 75 57 jne cd <my_open+0x6f> (not taken)
....
Compared to the generic version (the call is also put at the end of the
function) :
...
64: 0f b6 05 07 00 00 00 movzbl 0x7,%eax (load eax from memory)
6b: 84 c0 test %al,%al
6d: 75 4a jne b9 <my_open+0x5b> (not taken)
...
I also added the powerpc optimization (not tested yet though).
Comments are welcome,
Mathieu

I should have spelled out my point a bit more. If you've got a flag
you're just testing, couldn't you just do:
if (__mark_enabled_##name)
(*__mark_func)(...);
and do without the asms or the section?
The section will still be useful for simply labelling the mark sites,
but if you want to call something there, you don't need it.

Because a supplementary memory read is added on the critical path with a normal
flag test. The assembly can provide an immediate value without any need of
memory read from the data section.
To change the behavior of the program, I just have to change the immediate value
in the movb instruction.
However, the non-optimized generic version does exactly this : it simply tests a
flag loaded from memory. It can be very useful on embedded systems where the
code is in read-only memory.

Please ignore the three "if(" -> "if (" coding style issues in this patch. I
will correct them in the next release.
