From 36acef2510853e2831047ca9e22d333ba7a1047b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:00:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify looping around preempt_schedule_irq() At the 'exit_intr' label we test whether interrupt/exception was in kernel. If it did, we jump to the preemption check. If preemption does happen (IOW if we call preempt_schedule_irq()), we go back to 'exit_intr'. But it's pointless, we already know that the test succeeded last time, preemption doesn't change the fact that interrupt/exception was in the kernel. We can go back directly to checking PER_CPU_VAR(__preempt_count) instead. This makes the 'exit_intr' label unused, drop it.
