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
