tick/nohz: Evaluate the CPU expression after the static key
When tick_nohz_full_cpu() is called with smp_processor_id(), the latter is unconditionally evaluated whether the static key is on or off. It is not necessary in the off-case though, so make sure the cpu expression is executed at the last moment. Illustrate with the following test function: int tick_nohz_test(void) { return tick_nohz_full_cpu(smp_processor_id()); } The resulting code before was: mov %gs:0x7eea92d1(%rip),%eax # smp_processor_id() fetch nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) xor %eax,%eax retq cmpb $0x0,0x29d393a(%rip) # <tick_nohz_full_running> je tick_nohz_test+0x29 # jump to below eax clear mov %eax,%eax bt %rax,0x29d3936(%rip) # <tick_nohz_full_mask> setb %al movzbl %al,%eax retq xor %eax,%eax retq Now it becomes: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) xor %eax,%eax retq cmpb $0x0,0x29d3871(%rip) # <tick_nohz_full_running> je tick_nohz_test+0x29 # jump to below eax clear mov %gs:0x7eea91f0(%rip),%eax # smp_processor_id() fetch, after static key mov %eax,%eax bt %rax,0x29d3866(%rip) # <tick_nohz_full_mask> setb %al movzbl %al,%eax retq xor %eax,%eax retq Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210512232924.150322-2-frederic@kernel.org
