[PATCH 4.9 001/165] x86/vdso: Use RDPID in preference to LSL when available

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

 



From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a582c540ac1b10f0a7d37415e04c4af42409fd08 upstream.

RDPID is a new instruction that reads MSR_TSC_AUX quickly.  This
should be considerably faster than reading the GDT.  Add a
cpufeature for it and use it from __vdso_getcpu() when available.
