sched: Remove unlikely() from ttwu_post_activation
The unlikely() used in ttwu_post_activation() tests if the rq->idle_stamp is set. But since this is for a wakeup, and wakeups happen when tasks block on IO, and blocking tasks on IO may put the system into idle, this can actually be a common occurence. Running the annotated branch profiler on an average desktop running firefox, evolution, xchat and distcc, the report shows: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 34884862 146110926 80 ttwu_post_activation sched.c 2309 80% of the time, this unlikely is incorrect. Best not to assume what the result is, and just remove the branch annotation. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
