Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] x86/mm: Refactor cond_ibpb() to support other use cases
Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2020 17:59:35 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201127065938.8200-3-sblbir@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201127065938.8200-1-sblbir@amazon.com>

cond_ibpb() has the necessary bits required to track the previous mm in
switch_mm_irqs_off(). This can be reused for other use cases like L1D
flushing on context switch.

[ tglx: Moved comment, added a separate define for state (re)initialization ]
