First: This patch comes from cocinelle warning. Second: BUG_ON uses unlikely in if(). Through disassembly, we can see that brk #0x800 is compiled to the end of the function. As you can see below: ...... ffffff8008660bec: d65f03c0 ret ffffff8008660bf0: d4210000 brk #0x800
Usually, the condition in if () is not satisfied. For the multi-stage pipeline, we do not need to perform fetch decode and excute operation on brk instruction. In my opinion, this can improve the efficiency of the multi-stage pipeline.
