Subject: [PATCH v26 02/10] sched: Minimise repeated sched_proxy_exec() checking
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:13:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324191337.1841376-3-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324191337.1841376-1-jstultz@google.com>
Peter noted: Compilers are really bad (as in they utterly refuse)
optimizing (even when marked with __pure) the static branch
things, and will happily emit multiple identical in a row.
So pull out the one obvious sched_proxy_exec() branch in
__schedule() and remove some of the 'implicit' ones in that
path.
