Can Peng da9e5c04be arm/syscalls: mark syscall invocation as likely in invoke_syscall
The invoke_syscall() function is overwhelmingly called for
valid system call entries. Annotate the main path with likely()
to help the compiler generate better branch prediction hints,
reducing CPU pipeline stalls due to mispredictions.

This is a micro-optimization targeting syscall-heavy workloads [1].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
