[PATCH v7 10/21] x86/split_lock: Define per CPU variable to cache MSR TEST_CTL

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

 



MSR TEST_CTL (0x33) value is cached in per CPU variable msr_test_ctl_cache.
The cached value will be used in virutalization to avoid costly MSR read.
