# Commit 4c7e478d597b0346eef3a256cfd6794ac778b608 # Date 2018-01-26 14:10:21 +0000 # Author Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> # Committer Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> x86/idle: Clear SPEC_CTRL while idle On contemporary hardware, setting IBRS/STIBP has a performance impact on adjacent hyperthreads. It is therefore recommended to clear the setting before becoming idle, to avoid an idle core preventing adjacent userspace execution from running at full performance. Care must be taken to ensure there are no ret or indirect branch instructions between spec_ctrl_{enter,exit}_idle() invocations, which are forced always inline. Care must also be taken to avoid using spec_ctrl_enter_idle() between flushing caches and becoming idle, in cases where that matters.
