Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86: Make old K8 swapgs workaround conditional
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:12:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1398723161-21968-6-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1398723161-21968-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org>
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
Every gs selector/index reload always paid an extra MFENCE
between the two SWAPGS. This was to work around an old
bug in early K8 steppings. All other CPUs don't need the extra
mfence. Patch the extra MFENCE only in for K8.
