Subject: [patch] x86, tlb: switch cr3 in leave_mm() only when needed
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:33:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332459220.16101.144.camel@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com> (raw)

From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
Subject: x86, tlb: switch cr3 in leave_mm() only when needed

Currently leave_mm() unconditionally switches the cr3 to swapper_pg_dir.
But there is no need to change the cr3, if we already left that mm.

intel_idle() for example calls leave_mm() on every deep c-state entry where
the CPU flushes the TLB for us. Similarly flush_tlb_all() was also calling
leave_mm() whenever the TLB is in LAZY state. Both these paths will be
improved with this change.
