The custom swap function used in sort() was identical to the default built-in sort swap. Remove the custom swap function and passes NULL to sort(), allowing it to use the default swap function. This change reduces code size and improves performance, particularly when CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE is enabled. With RETPOLINE mitigation, indirect function calls incur significant overhead, and using the default swap function avoids this cost. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ./unwind.o.old ./unwind.o.new add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-22 (-22) Function old new delta init_unwind_hdr.constprop 544 540 -4 swap_eh_frame_hdr_table_entries 18 - -18 Total: Before=4410, After=4388, chg -0.50% Signed-off-by: Yu-Chun Lin <eleanor15x@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org> |

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
