[PATCH -v4] KVM: x86: lapic: Clean up find_highest_vector() and count_vectors()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



find_highest_vector() and count_vectors():
 - Instead of using magic values, define and use proper macros.

find_highest_vector():
 - Remove likely() which is there only for historical reasons and not
   doing correct branch predictions anymore.  Using such heuristics
   to optimize this function is not worth it now.  Let CPUs predict
   things instead.

 - Stop checking word[0] separately.  This was only needed for doing
   likely() optimization.

 - Use for loop, not while, to iterate over the register array to make
   the code clearer.

Note that we actually confirmed that the likely() did wrong predictions
by inserting debug code.
