lib/smp_processor_id: Don't use cpumask_equal()
[ Upstream commit 659252061477862f45b79e1de169e6030f5c8918 ] The check_preemption_disabled() function uses cpumask_equal() to see if the task is bounded to the current CPU only. cpumask_equal() calls memcmp() to do the comparison. As x86 doesn't have __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCMP, the slow memcmp() function in lib/string.c is used. On a RT kernel that call check_preemption_disabled() very frequently, below is the perf-record output of a certain microbenchmark: 42.75% 2.45% testpmd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_preemption_disabled 40.01% 39.97% testpmd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcmp We should avoid calling memcmp() in performance critical path. So the cpumask_equal() call is now replaced with an equivalent simpler check. Signed-off-by:Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
