[RFC][PATCH 10/16] objtool: Resize insn_hash

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Mar 12 2020 - 09:52:45 EST


Perf shows we're spending a lot of time in find_insn() and the
statistics show we have around 3.2 million instruction. Increase the
hash table size to reduce the bucket load from around 50 to 3.

This shaves about 2s off of objtool on vmlinux.o runtime, down to 16s.
