[PATCH v2 08/19] powerpc/64: context tracking remove _TIF_NOHZ

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Wed Nov 11 20:43:59 AEDT 2020


Add context tracking to the system call handler explicitly, and remove
_TIF_NOHZ.

This saves 35 cycles on gettid system call cost on POWER9 with a
CONFIG_NOHZ_FULL kernel.
