Finished benchmarking commit (5e7a352): comparison URL. Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - ACTION NEEDEDBenchmarking this pull request likely means that it is perf-sensitive, so we're automatically marking it as not fit for rolling up. While you can manually mark this PR as fit for rollup, we strongly recommend not doing so since this PR may lead to changes in compiler perf. Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please indicate this with @bors rollup=never Instruction countThis is a highly reliable metric that was used to determine the overall result at the top of this comment.

Add inline(usually) I'm looking into what kind of things could recover the perf improvement detected in rust-lang#121417 (comment). I think it's worth spending quite a bit of effort to figure out how to capture a 45% incr-patched improvement. As far as I can tell, the root cause of the problem is that we have taken very deliberate steps in the compiler to ensure that `#[inline(always)]` causes inlining where possible, even when all optimizations are disabled. Some of the reasons that was done are now outdated or were misguided, but some some users still have a legitimate use for the current behavior, `@bjorn3` says: > Unlike other targets the mere presence of a simd instruction is not allowed if the wasm runtime doesn't support simd. Other targets merely require it to never be executed at runtime. I'm quite sure that the majority of users applied this attribute believing it does not cause inlining in unoptimized builds, or didn't appreciate the build time regressions that implies and would prefer it didn't if they knew. (if that's you, put a heart on this or say something elsewhere, don't reply on this PR) I am going to _try_ to use the existing benchmark suite to evaluate a number of different approaches and take notes here, and hopefully I can collect enough data to shape any conversation about what we can do to help users. The core of this PR is `InlineAttr::Usually` (name doesn't matter) which ensures that when optimizations are enabled that the function is inlined (usual exceptions like recursion apply). I think most users believe this is what `#[inline(always)]` does. rust-lang#130685 (comment) Replaced `#[inline(always)]` with `#[inline(usually)]` in the standard library, and did not recover the same 45% incr-patched improvement in regex. It's a tidy net positive though, and I suspect that perf improvement would normally be big enough to motivate merging a change. I think that means the standard library's use of `#[inline(always)]` is imposing marginal compile time overhead on the ecosystem, but the bigger opportunities are probably in third-party crates. rust-lang#130679 (comment) Treats `#[inline(always)]` as `#[inline(usually)]` literally everywhere; this gets the desired incr-patched improvement but suffers quite a few check and doc regressions. I think that means that `alwaysinline` is more powerful than `function-inline-cost=0` in LLVM. rust-lang#130679 (comment) Treats `#[inline(always)]` as `#[inline(usually)]` when `-Copt-level=0`, which looks basically the same as rust-lang#121417 (comment) (omit `alwaysinline` when doing `-Copt-level=0` codegen). TODO: Try function-inline-cost = -1000, perhaps penalties can add up and snuff inline(usually)?

More investigation required on what the different inlining decision is. rust-lang#130679 (comment) is a likely explanation of this, with some interesting implications; adding `inline(always)` to a function that was going to be inlined anyway can change change optimizations (usually it seems to improve things?). TODO: stm32f4 and to a lesser extent bitmaps seem to compile slower and to larger binaries when we treat `inline(always)` as `inline(usually)`. Is that because of this? https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/9e394f551c050ff03c6fc57f190e0761cf0be6e8/compiler/rustc_middle/src/mir/mono.rs#L141 If it's not, what happens if we infer `alwaysinline` for extremely small functions like most of those in stm32f4?

So still two questions: 1. Why does `alwaysinline` sometimes make debug builds faster? 2. Is there any obvious threshold at which adding `alwaysinline` causes more work for debug builds?
