[PATCH 15/18] arm64: tls: Avoid unconditional zeroing of tpidrro_el0 for native tasks

From: Will Deacon
Date: Fri Nov 17 2017 - 13:24:29 EST


We zero tpidrro_el0 on return to the exception trampoline since it is
used as a scratch register during exception entry. When the entry
trampoline is being used, we can therefore avoid zeroing tpidrro_el0
in the context-switch for native tasks.
