[PATCH v2] sched: unlikely corrupted stack end

Show all headers | View raw

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.
