Alice Ryhl c1437332e4 rust_binder: move BC_FREE_BUFFER drop inside if statement
When looking at flamegraphs, there is a pretty large entry for the
function call drop_in_place::<Option<Allocation>> which in turn calls
drop_in_place::<Allocation>. Combined with the looper_need_return
condition, this means that the generated code looks like this:

	if let Some(buffer) = buffer {
	    if buffer.looper_need_return_on_free() {
	        self.inner.lock().looper_need_return = true;
	    }
	}
	drop_in_place::<Option<Allocation>>() { // not inlined
	    if let Some(buffer) = buffer {
	    	drop_in_place::<Allocation>(buffer);
	    }
	}

This kind of situation where you check X and then check X again is
normally optimized into a single condition, but in this case due to the
non-inlined function call to drop_in_place::<Option<Allocation>>, that
optimization does not happen.

Furthermore, the drop_in_place::<Allocation> call is only two-thirds of
the drop_in_place::<Option<Allocation>> call in the flamegraph. This
indicates that this double condition is not performing well. Also, last
time I looked at Binder perf, I remember finding that the destructor of
Allocation was involved with many branch mispredictions.

Thus, change this code to look like this:

	if let Some(buffer) = buffer {
	    if buffer.looper_need_return_on_free() {
	        self.inner.lock().looper_need_return = true;
	    }
	    drop_in_place::<Allocation>(buffer);
	}

by dropping the Allocation directly. Flamegraphs confirm that the
drop_in_place::<Option<Allocation>> call disappears from this change.

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.
