From f6595f3a9680c86b6332f881a7ae2cbbcfdc8619 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:19:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Optimize perf_event_comm_ctx() Remove a rcu_read_{,un}lock() pair and a few conditionals. We can remove the rcu_read_lock() by increasing the scope of one in the calling function. We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still boots after this patch (seems to be the case). We can do away with the list_empty() check because the bare list_for_each_entry_rcu() reduces to that now that we've removed everything else.
