From fe45bafbd0e1b5e828aa9d44d07e569df85869a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:43:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Don't re-schedule CPU flexible events needlessly In the sched-in path, we first remove a CPU's flexible events in order to give priority to the task's pinned events. However, this step can be safely skipped if the task doesn't have its own pinned events. This patch implements this skipping.
