Subject: x86: avoid flush IPI when possible
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4598cca54f39da025b83d287f8f88a00c95e5b03;p=people%2Fliuw%2Fxen.git

x86: avoid flush IPI when possible

Since CLFLUSH, other than WBINVD, is a cache coherency domain wide
flush, there's no need to IPI other CPUs if this is the only flushing
being requested. (As a secondary change, move a local variable into the
scope where it's actually needed.)

As a secondary change also eliminate another leftover from 32-bit days:
invalidate_interrupt() can clear FLUSH_TLB_GLOBAL alongside FLUSH_TLB,
since write_ptbase() (as a descendant of __sync_local_execstate()) now
unconditionally fiddles with CR4.PGE.
