[PATCH 1/3] ARM: shmobile: defconfig: Do not enable CONFIG_CPU_BPREDICT_DISABLE

From: Simon Horman <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-02 15:23:02
Subsystem: arm port, arm/risc-v/renesas architecture, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Geert Uytterhoeven, Magnus Damm, Linus Torvalds

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

Do not disable branch prediction, as this has a big performance impact.

After re-enabling branch prediction, __loop_delay() runs 16 (Cortex A15)
or 11 (Cortex A9) times faster than before.
