cmd/compile: allow more inlining of functions that construct closures
[This is a roll-forward of CL 479095, which was reverted due to a bad
interaction between inlining and escape analysis, then later fixed
first with an attempt in CL 482355, then again in CL 484859, and then
one more time with CL 492135.]
Currently, when the inliner is determining if a function is
inlineable, it descends into the bodies of closures constructed by
that function. This has several unfortunate consequences:
- If the closure contains a disallowed operation (e.g., a defer), then
the outer function can't be inlined. It makes sense that the
*closure* can't be inlined in this case, but it doesn't make sense
to punish the function that constructs the closure.
- The hairiness of the closure counts against the inlining budget of
the outer function. Since we currently copy the closure body when
inlining the outer function, this makes sense from the perspective
of export data size and binary size, but ultimately doesn't make
much sense from the perspective of what should be inlineable.
- Since the inliner walks into every closure created by an outer
function in addition to starting a walk at every closure, this adds
an n^2 factor to inlinability analysis.
This CL simply drops this behavior.
In std, this makes 57 more functions inlinable, and disallows inlining
for 10 (due to the basic instability of our bottom-up inlining
approach), for an net increase of 47 inlinable functions (+0.6%).
This will help significantly with the performance of the functions to
be added for #56102, which have a somewhat complicated nesting of
closures with a performance-critical fast path.
The downside of this seems to be a potential increase in export data
and text size, but the practical impact of this seems to be
negligible:
