sched: Prevent compiler from optimising the sched_avg_update() loop
GCC 4.4.1 on ARM has been observed to replace the while loop in sched_avg_update with a call to uldivmod, resulting in the following build failure at link-time: kernel/built-in.o: In function `sched_avg_update': kernel/sched.c:1261: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' kernel/sched.c:1261: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 This patch introduces a fake data hazard to the loop body to prevent the compiler optimising the loop away.
