From: Andi Kleen Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:11:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: perf/x86/intel: Avoid rewriting DEBUGCTL with the same value for LBRs X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd1f11de69226cc7ce7e7f22bdab9010103ddaa6;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git perf/x86/intel: Avoid rewriting DEBUGCTL with the same value for LBRs perf with LBRs on has a tendency to rewrite the DEBUGCTL MSR with the same value. Add a little optimization to skip the unnecessary write.
