From 43ef205bded025432f5eeeb3503c11fe5cd1913e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 10:57:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Remove intel_excl_states::init_state For some obscure reason intel_{start,stop}_scheduling() copy the HT state to an intermediate array. This would make sense if we ever were to make changes to it which we'd have to discard. Except we don't. By the time we call intel_commit_scheduling() we're; as the name implies; committed to them. We'll never back out. A further hint its pointless is that stop_scheduling() unconditionally publishes the state. So the intermediate array is pointless, modify the state in place and kill the extra array. And remove the pointless array initialization: INTEL_EXCL_UNUSED == 0. Note; all is serialized by intel_excl_cntr::lock.
