Subject: [PATCH v3 3/9] x86/xsaves: Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init optimization
Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 09:42:01 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41606f5f9ef4f905eb1def7c8d6a8db076db3fc9.1456524359.git.yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> (raw)

Keep init_fpstate.xsave.header.xfeatures as zero for init optimization.
This is important for init optimization that is implemented in processor.
If a bit corresponding to an xstate in xstate_bv is 0, it means the
xstate is in init status and will not be read from memory to the processor
during XRSTOR/XRSTORS instruction. This largely impacts context switch
performance.
