Subject: [PATCH] um/asm: Replace "REP; NOP" with PAUSE mnemonic
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:55:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414145650.10776-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.25,
which supports PAUSE instruction mnemonic.

Replace "REP; NOP" with this proper mnemonic.

No functional change intended.
