From 2a06bf3e95cd93e3640d431960181b8e47415f33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2021 23:08:40 +1000 Subject: powerpc/64: context tracking remove _TIF_NOHZ Add context tracking to the system call handler explicitly, and remove _TIF_NOHZ. This improves system call performance when nohz_full is enabled. On a POWER9, gettid scv system call cost on a nohz_full CPU improves from 1129 cycles to 1004 cycles and on a housekeeping CPU from 550 cycles to 430 cycles.
