Subject: [PATCH 06/14] powerpc/64s: interrupt replay balance the return branch predictor
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 09:58:27 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170611235835.7400-7-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170611235835.7400-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
The __replay_interrupt code is branched to with bl, but the caller is
returned to directly with rfid from the interrupt.
Instead return to a return stub that returns to the caller with blr,
which should do better with the return predictor.
