unlikely() was dropped in commit ce03e41 ("sched/core: Drop unlikely
behind BUG_ON()"), but commit 29d6455 ("sched: panic on corrupted stack
end") dropped BUG_ON() and called panic directly.

Now we should bring unlikely() back for branch prediction.

It would be better and cleaner to push that into the task_stack_end_corrupted() 
definition. (and to turn it into an inline function while we are touching it.)

Thanks,

unlikely() was dropped in commit ce03e4137bb2 ("sched/core: Drop
unlikely behind BUG_ON()"), but commit 29d6455178a0 ("sched: panic on
corrupted stack end") dropped BUG_ON() and called panic directly.

Now we should bring unlikely() back for branch prediction. While we're
at it, it's better and cleaner to turn task_stack_end_corrupted() into
inline function.

The passed in pointer should be const, and the extra parentheses around the 
end_of_stack() call are not needed anymore (since it's now proper C code now).

Thanks,

end_of_stack() will discard const and cause an compiler warning.
Should I add const to end_of_stack()?

Yes. Also make sure ia64 still builds and such.

It seems convert task_stack_end_corrupted() into inline isn’t trivial.

In ia64, end_of_stack() is expanded to:

(unsigned long *)((void *)(p) + ((IA64_TASK_SIZE + IA64_THREAD_INFO_SIZE + 31) & ~31))

IA64_TASK_SIZE and IA64_THREAD_INFO_SIZE is defined in arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c,
which needs to include linux/sched.h.

So the problem is task_stack_end_corrupted() doesn’t compile before asm-offsets.c is compiled.
asm-offsets.c also needs to include linux/sched.h to compile. I think maybe that’s why
task_stack_end_corrupted() is introduced as marco, not inline.

Any idea?

Thanks
WANG Chao

Oh well ...

I guess we'll have to add the unlikely() to the macro itself.

Thanks,

unlikely() was dropped in commit ce03e4137bb2 ("sched/core: Drop
unlikely behind BUG_ON()"), but commit 29d6455178a0 ("sched: panic on
corrupted stack end") dropped BUG_ON() and called panic directly.

Now we should bring unlikely() back for branch prediction. While we're
at it, it's better and cleaner to add unlikely() to
task_stack_end_corrupted() macro.
