Subject: [PATCH 7/7] x86/mm: Opt in to IRQs-off activate_mm()
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2024 17:25:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241119163035.985203915@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241119162527.952745944@infradead.org>
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
We gain nothing by having the core code enable IRQs right before calling
activate_mm() only for us to turn them right back off again in switch_mm().
This will save a few cycles, so execve() should be blazingly fast with this
patch applied!
