Subject: [patch 4/6] prefetch bottom of kernel rbs stack at kernel exit path
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 09:16:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200601310916.k0V9GCg13405@unix-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
Kernel knows where the register backing store is corresponding
to user dirty stack registers. Prefetch those cache lines as
early as possible in ia64_leave_kernel path.
