Subject: [patch 2/3] x86/smpboot: Remove stale tlb flush invocations
Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2017 22:13:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171230211829.586548655@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20171230211351.980176980@linutronix.de

[-- Attachment #1: x86-smpboot--Remove-stale-tlb-flush-invocations.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1504 bytes --]

smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() and smpboot_restore_warm_reset_vector()
invoke local_flush_tlb() for no obvious reason.

Digging in history revealed that the original code in the 2.1 aera added
those because the code manipulated a swapper_pg_dir pagetable entry. The
pagetable manipulation was removed long ago in the 2.3 timeframe, but the
tlb flush invocations stayed around forever.

Remove them along with the pointless pr_debugs which come from the same 2.1
change.
