[PATCH 11/11] arm64: sched/preempt: Enable PREEMPT_COUNT_64BIT

From: Boqun Feng

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 00:22:52 EST


ARM64 already uses 64bit preempt count and the need reschedule bit is
maintained in a separate 32bit than the preempt count. Therefore preempt
count has enough bits to represent 16 level of NMI nesting, hence enable
it for ARM64. This saves a per-CPU variable and additional instructions
in the NMI path.
