Subject: [PATCH 4/6] x86/entry: Optimize local_db_save() for virt
Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 22:19:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200528202328.588432451@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200528201937.038455891@infradead.org

Because DRn access is 'difficult' with virt; but the DR7 read is
cheaper than a cacheline miss on native, add a virt specific
fast path to local_db_save(), such that when breakpoints are not in
use we avoid touching DRn entirely.
