[PATCH 3/6] powerpc/64/kuap: interrupt exit conditionally restore AMR

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Wed Apr 29 16:56:51 AEST 2020


The AMR update is made conditional on AMR actually changing, which
should be the less common case on most workloads (though kernel page
faults on uaccess could be frequent, this doesn't significantly slow
down that case).
