[PATCH] sched: likely profiling
This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems
in sched.c.
This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago,
nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so
it all adds up.
Tweak some branch hints:
- the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it
contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities.
(ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1).
- it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it
might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of
475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide.
- preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable
or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1)
