From 6fe9e7c26a97105645fd24f264f1b94e21aade3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 10:05:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] GHES: Make NMI handler have a single reader Since GHES sources are global, we theoretically need only a single CPU reading them per NMI instead of a thundering herd of CPUs waiting on a spinlock in NMI context for no reason at all. Do that.
