commit 9478ee4a1501c8899307eaa24585f8c6f8d23fa9 Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri Apr 30 20:17:55 2021 +0100 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Tue May 4 19:12:47 2021 +0100 x86/xstate: Elide redundant writes in set_xcr0() XSETBV is an expensive instruction as, amongst other things, it involves reconfiguring the instruction decode at the frontend of the pipeline. We have several paths which reconfigure %xcr0 in quick succession (the context switch path has 5, including the fpu save/restore helpers), and only a single caller takes any care to try to skip redundant writes. Update set_xcr0() to perform amortisation automatically, and simplify the __context_switch() path as a consequence.
