From d13c613f136c9090f3863c49b2306d57ab59feba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 12:36:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: assembler: add cond_yield macro Add a macro cond_yield that branches to a specified label when called if the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set and decreasing the preempt count would make the task preemptible again, resulting in a schedule to occur. This can be used by kernel mode SIMD code that keeps a lot of state in SIMD registers, which would make chunking the input in order to perform the cond_resched() check from C code disproportionately costly.
