From 10b033d434c25a6c9e0f4f4dc2418af1b8236c63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 19:01:40 +0100 Subject: sched/clock, x86: Avoid a runtime condition in native_sched_clock() Use a static_key to avoid touching tsc_disabled and a runtime condition in native_sched_clock() -- less cachelines touched is always better.
