[PATCH v4 09/21] powerpc/64: context tracking remove _TIF_NOHZ

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Sat Jan 2 23:24:56 AEDT 2021


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.
