From: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 06:03:03 +0000 (+1100) Subject: powerpc: Remove static branch prediction in atomic{, 64}_add_unless X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=61e98ebff3ba3d3b17e999dc483c2680480ed715;p=linux-beck.git powerpc: Remove static branch prediction in atomic{, 64}_add_unless I see quite a lot of static branch mispredictions on a simple web serving workload. The issue is in __atomic_add_unless(), called from _atomic_dec_and_lock(). There is no obvious common case, so it is better to let the hardware predict the branch.
