Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86: Use clflushopt in clflush_cache_range
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 12:06:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393441612-19729-3-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1393441612-19729-1-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>
If clflushopt is available on the system, use it instead of clflush in
clflush_cache_range.
