From ce9119ad90b1caba550447bfcc0a21850558ca49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:33:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86-32: Avoid pipeline serialization in PTREGSCALL1 and 2 In the PTREGSCALL1 and 2 macros, we can trivially avoid an unnecessary pipeline serialization, so do so. In PTREGSCALLS3 this is much less clear-cut since we have to push a new value to the stack. Leave it alone for now assuming it is as good as it is going to be; may want to check on Atom or another in-order x86 to see if we can do better. Signed-off-by: H.
