sched/clock: Use static_branch_likely() with sched_clock_running
sched_clock_running is enabled early at bootup stage and never
disabled. So hint that to the compiler by using static_branch_likely()
rather than static_branch_unlikely().
The branch probability mis-annotation was introduced in the original
commit that converted the plain sched_clock_running flag to a static key:
46457ea464f5 ("sched/clock: Use static key for sched_clock_running")
Steve further notes:
| Looks like the confusion was the moving of the "!":
|
| - if (unlikely(!sched_clock_running))
| + if (!static_branch_unlikely(&sched_clock_running))
|
| Where, it was unlikely that !sched_clock_running would be true, but
| because the "!" was moved outside the "unlikely()" it makes the test
| "likely()". That is, if we added an intermediate step, it would have
| been:
|
| if (!likely(sched_clock_running))
|
| which would have prevented the mistake that this patch fixes.
