[PATCH v3 2/5] x86/mm: Refactor cond_ibpb() to support other use cases

Balbir Singh
2020-11-27T07:00:15Z

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 ]
