From c5105d764e0214bcc4c6d40d7ba231d01b2e9dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhenzhong Duan Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:37:28 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/clock: Use static_branch_likely() with sched_clock_running sched_clock_running is enabled early at bootup stage and never disabled. So hint that to the compiler by using static_branch_likely() rather than static_branch_unlikely(). The branch probability mis-annotation was introduced in the original commit that converted the plain sched_clock_running flag to a static key: 46457ea464f5 ("sched/clock: Use static key for sched_clock_running") Steve further notes: | Looks like the confusion was the moving of the "!": | | - if (unlikely(!sched_clock_running)) | + if (!static_branch_unlikely(&sched_clock_running)) | | Where, it was unlikely that !sched_clock_running would be true, but | because the "!" was moved outside the "unlikely()" it makes the test | "likely()". That is, if we added an intermediate step, it would have | been: | | if (!likely(sched_clock_running)) | | which would have prevented the mistake that this patch fixes.
