Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/13] arm64: preempt: Treat should_resched() as unlikely
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:38:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728123859.2911495-3-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728123859.2911495-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>
The arm64 implementation of should_resched() doesn't treat the need to
resched as unlikely, while all other implementations do, e.g.
* asm-generic since:
bdb43806589096ac ("sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers")
* x86 since:
c2daa3bed53a8117 ("sched, x86: Provide a per-cpu preempt_count implementation")
* s390 since:
c360192bf4a8dc72 ("s390/preempt: move preempt_count to the lowcore")
Do the same for arm64.
