sched: Micro optimization in pick_next_task() and in check_preempt_curr()
This introduces an optimization based on xxx_sched_class addresses in two hot scheduler functions: pick_next_task() and check_preempt_curr(). It is possible to compare pointers to sched classes to check, which of them has a higher priority, instead of current iterations using for_each_class(). One more result of the patch is that size of object file becomes a little less (excluding added BUG_ON(), which goes in __init section): $size kernel/sched/core.o text data bss dec hex filename before: 66446 18957 676 86079 1503f kernel/sched/core.o after: 66398 18957 676 86031 1500f kernel/sched/core.o Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/711a9c4b-ff32-1136-b848-17c622d548f3@yandex.ru
