linux.git/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S, branch v3.10 Linux kernel source tree powerpc: Partial revert of "Context switch more PMU related SPRs" 2013-06-09T22:36:35+00:00 Michael Ellerman michael@ellerman.id.au 2013-06-05T18:03:36+00:00 b11ae95100f7061b39a15e5c1ecbf862464ac4b4 In commit 59affcd I added context switching of more PMU SPRs, because they are potentially exposed to userspace on Power8. However despite me being a smart arse in the commit message it's actually not correct. In particular it interacts badly with a global perf record. We will have to do something more complicated, but that will have to wait for 3.11.

In commit 59affcd I added context switching of more PMU SPRs, because
they are potentially exposed to userspace on Power8. However despite me
being a smart arse in the commit message it's actually not correct. In
particular it interacts badly with a global perf record.

We will have to do something more complicated, but that will have to
wait for 3.11.

However despite four of us signing off on that patch we missed some. To be fair these are not actually new SPRs, but they are now potentially user accessible so need to be context switched.
