[PATCH 3/5] powerpc: clockevents broadcast receiver use tick_receive_broadcast

Wed Mar 28 20:28:17 AEDT 2018


The broadcast tick recipient can call tick_receive_broadcast rather
than re-running the full timer interrupt.

It does not not have to check for the next event time, because the
sender already determined the timer has expired. It does not have to
test irq_work_pending, because that's a direct decrementer interrupt
and does not go through the clock events subsystem.

This results in no code size change, but both the decrementer and
broadcast path lengths are reduced.
