MIPS: Scheduler changes

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

 



Because the resume function in the MIPS implementation of switch_to()
doesn't return to its original caller when a newly created thread is
scheduled for the first time any code following the invocation of
resume() in switch_to() will be skipped.  So far MIPS was using the
finish_arch_switch() hook for that purpose but that function was
originally meant for a different purpose for which it is no longer
required and it also is used only on few platforms.  But there is no
real reason why with some minor changes the code the code of
finish_arch_switch() couldn't be moved into switch_to().  So do that
preparing for removal of finish_arch_switch().

This probably should be tested on a number of different configurations
with/without DSP, MSA, FPU etc. so I'm posting this for review and testing.

Thanks,

  Ralf
