From 0baa91cb73e296242edad89cfe3f60c59ab8a95a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 07:54:14 +1000 Subject: cpuidle: powernv: Avoid a branch in the core snooze_loop() loop When in the snooze_loop() we want to take up the least amount of resources. On my version of gcc (6.3), we end up with an extra branch because it predicts snooze_timeout_en to be false, whereas it is almost always true. Use likely() to avoid the branch and be a little nicer to the other non idle threads on the core. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Reviewed-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
