Subject: [PATCH v4 04/20] powerpc: Return the new MSR from msr_check_and_set()
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 09:44:32 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160905234448.5866-5-cyrilbur@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160905234448.5866-1-cyrilbur@gmail.com>
msr_check_and_set() always performs a mfmsr() to determine if it needs
to perform an mtmsr(), as mfmsr() can be a costly operation
msr_check_and_set() could return the MSR now on the CPU to avoid
callers of msr_check_and_set having to make their own mfmsr() call.
