[PATCH 4.4 62/63] x86/smpboot: Remove stale TLB flush invocations
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 01 2018 - 09:29:59 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 322f8b8b340c824aef891342b0f5795d15e11562 upstream.
smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() and smpboot_restore_warm_reset_vector()
invoke local_flush_tlb() for no obvious reason.
Digging in history revealed that the original code in the 2.1 era added
those because the code manipulated a swapper_pg_dir pagetable entry. The
pagetable manipulation was removed long ago in the 2.3 timeframe, but the
TLB flush invocations stayed around forever.
Remove them along with the pointless pr_debug()s which come from the same 2.1
change.
