[PATCH v5 06/10] powerpc/smp: Optimize start_secondary

Srikar Dronamraju srikar at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Aug 10 17:18:30 AEST 2020


In start_secondary, even if shared_cache was already set, system does a
redundant match for cpumask. This redundant check can be removed by
checking if shared_cache is already set.

While here, localize the sibling_mask variable to within the if
condition.
