[PATCH] sched: likely profiling
This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems in sched.c. This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago, nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so it all adds up. Tweak some branch hints: - the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities. (ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1). - it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of 475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide. - preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1) Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@mvista.com> Cc: Hua Zhong <hzhong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
