This series introduces fast paths for find_bit() routines. It is beneficial for typical systems, but those who limited in I-cache may be concerned about increasing the .text size of the Image. To address this concern, one can disable FAST_PATH option in the config and some save memory. The effect of this option on my arm64 next-20210217 build is: Before: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .head.text 00010000 ffff800010000000 ffff800010000000 00010000 2**16 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .text 0115e3a8 ffff800010010000 ffff800010010000 00020000 2**16 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .got.plt 00000018 ffff80001116e3a8 ffff80001116e3a8 0117e3a8 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 3 .rodata 007a72ca ffff800011170000 ffff800011170000 01180000 2**12 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA ... After: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .head.text 00010000 ffff800010000000 ffff800010000000 00010000 2**16 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .text 011623a8 ffff800010010000 ffff800010010000 00020000 2**16 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .got.plt 00000018 ffff8000111723a8 ffff8000111723a8 011823a8 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 3 .rodata 007a772a ffff800011180000 ffff800011180000 01190000 2**12 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA ... Notice that this is the cumulive effect on already existing fast paths controlled by SMALL_CONST() together with ones added by this series.
