proc: calculate end pointer for /proc/*/* lookup at compile time
Compilers like to transform loops like for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { [use p[i]] } into for (p = p0; p < end; p++) { ... } Do it by hand, so that it results in overall simpler loop and smaller code. Space savings: $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-001 ../obj/vmlinux add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 4/-9 (-5) Function old new delta proc_tid_base_lookup 17 19 +2 proc_tgid_base_lookup 17 19 +2 proc_pident_lookup 179 170 -9 The same could be done to proc_pident_readdir(), but the code becomes bigger for some reason.
