From 16d9dbf0c2bd167fdd942b83592d59696c7b73bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:50:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: move unlazy_fpu() into lazy cpu state part of context switch Make sure that unlazy_fpu()'s stts gets batched along with the other cpu state changes during context switch. (32-bit already does this.) This makes sure it gets batched when running paravirtualized.
