sched: add do_sched_yield() helper; remove in-kernel call to sched_yield()
Using the sched-internal do_sched_yield() helper allows us to get rid of the sched-internal call to the sys_sched_yield() syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
