[patch 54/60] x86/mm: Optimize RESTORE_CR3

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Dec 04 2017 - 11:58:42 EST


Most NMI/paranoid exceptions will not in fact change pagetables and
would thus not require TLB flushing, however RESTORE_CR3 uses flushing
CR3 writes.

Restores to kernel PCIDs can be NOFLUSH, because we explicitly flush
the kernel mappings and now that we track which user PCIDs need
flushing we can avoid those too when possible.

This does mean RESTORE_CR3 needs an additional scratch_reg, luckily
both sites have plenty available.
