From f80c5b39b80ab4d52acd940c03b89948cafdbd18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 09:59:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/idle, x86: Switch from TS_POLLING to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word. This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless wakeups. Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway. Also, fix up the apm_32 idle function, clearly that was forgotten in the last conversion. The default idle state is !POLLING so just kill the lot.
