[patch 1/8] s390: Optimize user and work TIF check

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

 



From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

On return from syscall or interrupt, we have to check if we return to
userspace (likely) and if there is work todo (less likely) to decide
if we handle the work. We can optimize this check: we first check for 
the less likely work case and then check for userspace.

This patch is also a preparation for an additional patch, that fixes a bug
in KVM dealing with cpu bound guests.
