[PATCH v3 3/8] x86/split_lock: Cache the value of MSR_TEST_CTRL in percpu data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Cache the value of MSR_TEST_CTRL in percpu data msr_test_ctrl_cache,
which will be used by KVM module.

It also avoids an expensive RDMSR instruction if SLD needs to be context
switched.
