[net-next PATCH] bpf: cpumap micro-optimization in cpu_map_enqueue

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hidden>
Date: 2017-11-01 11:44:49
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest, xdp (express data path) · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds, David S. Miller, Jakub Kicinski, Jesper Dangaard Brouer, John Fastabend

Discovered that the compiler laid-out asm code in suboptimal way
when studying perf report during benchmarking of cpumap. Help
the compiler by the marking unlikely code paths.
