----------------------------------------------------
The inner loop in poll_idle() polls to see if the thread's TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit is set. The loop exits once the condition is met, or if the poll time limit has been exceeded.
To minimize the number of instructions executed in each iteration, the time check is rate-limited. In addition, each loop iteration executes cpu_relax() which on certain platforms provides a hint to the pipeline that the loop is busy-waiting, which allows the processor to reduce power consumption.
However, cpu_relax() is defined optimally only on x86. On arm64, for instance, it is implemented as a YIELD which only serves as a hint to the CPU that it prioritize a different hardware thread if one is available. arm64, does expose a more optimal polling mechanism via smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() which uses LDXR, WFE to wait until a store to a specified region, or until a timeout.
These semantics are essentially identical to what we want from poll_idle(). So, restructure the loop to use smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() instead.
The generated code remains close to the original version.
