Subject: [PATCH 4/6] x86: Use clwb in clflush_cache_range
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 11:43:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415731396-19364-5-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415731396-19364-1-git-send-email-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>
If clwb is available on the system, use it in clflush_cache_range.
If clwb is not available, fall back to clflushopt if you can.
If clflushopt is not supported, fall all the way back to clflush.
