From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:00:07 +0000 (+0200) Subject: x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify looping around preempt_schedule_irq() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=36acef2510853e2831047ca9e22d333ba7a1047b;p=linux-beck.git 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.
