And I suppose you rely on the compiler to optimize that for the static
key inside rd_freq_domain()... Does it do a good job of that?

That is, would not something like:


	rcu_read_lock();
	if (sd_flag & SD_BALANCE_WAKE) {
		record_wakee(p);

		if (static_branch_unlikely(&sched_energy_present)) {
			struct root_domain *rd = cpu_rq(cpu)->rd;
			struct freq_domain *fd = rd_freq_domain(rd);

			if (fd && !READ_ONCE(rd->overutilized)) {
				new_cpu = find_energy_efficient_cpu(p, prev_cpu, fd);
				goto unlock;
			}
		}

		/* ... */
	}


Be far more clear ?
