Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86: separating entry text section + kprobes fix
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:25:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1298298313-5980-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110220125948.GC25700@elte.hu>

hi,

while fixing the optimized kprobes issue, we found out that separating
the entry text section might have performance benefits with regards to
the instruction cache usage.

attached patches:
1/2 - x86: separating entry text section
2/2 - kprobes: disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section

wbr,
jirka
