Subject[PATCH 4/4] x86: Optimize try_ipiless_wakeup avoid idle task lookup
Date
Optimize try_ipiless_wakeup with caching of idletask's ti_flags pointer
in a percpu area. Shows a measurable difference in cost of async
smp_call_function_single() to a target CPU that is mwait-idle.

This shows ~50-100 cycles (of total 1200(local) or 1900(remote)) savings on
the IPI send side (as measured with async smp_call_function_single).
