Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] x86 switch_mm uninlining and IRQ improvements
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 09:39:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1461688545.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi all-
I've been playing with context switching lately, and I'm going to start
sending out some of the patches that should be mostly self-contained and
ready for -tip.
Here's a little batch to start improving switch_mm. It uninlines it
and makes it run with IRQs off. (AFAICT everyone who's modified it
thought it ran with IRQs off, but that's not always the case. I
don't know of any bugs that this fixes, but it'll be needed for PCID
to avoid introducing really nasty races.)
This may also help a bit with FSGSBASE -- not sure yet. It certainly
won't hurt.
It contains a trivial off-topic ARM patch to avoid breaking the build.
Andy Lutomirski (5):
arm: Include linux/preempt.h from asm/mmu_context.h
sched: Add switch_mm_irqs_off and use it in the scheduler
x86/mm: Build arch/x86/mm/tlb.c even on !SMP
x86/mm: Uninline switch_mm
x86/mm: Turn off IRQs in switch_mm
