[PATCH] mm: uninline kstrdup()

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Tue Feb 28 2023 - 10:35:13 EST


gcc inlines kstrdup into kstrdup_const() but it can very efficiently
tail call into it instead:

$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-84 (-84)
Function old new delta
kstrdup_const 119 35 -84
