2007-07-09sched: simplify sched_find_first_bit()Mike Galbraith
simplify sched_rt.c's sched_find_first_bit() function: there are only 100 RT priority levels left. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2006-10-11[PATCH] sched: likely profilingNick Piggin
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) Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@mvista.com> Cc: Hua Zhong <hzhong@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-26[PATCH] bitops: generic sched_find_first_bit()Akinobu Mita
This patch introduces the C-language equivalent of the function: int sched_find_first_bit(const unsigned long *b); In include/asm-generic/bitops/sched.h This code largely copied from: include/asm-powerpc/bitops.h Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <mita@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
