From 18011eac28c7cb31c87b86b7d0e5b01894405c7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 14:33:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: tls: Avoid unconditional zeroing of tpidrro_el0 for native tasks When unmapping the kernel at EL0, we use tpidrro_el0 as a scratch register during exception entry from native tasks and subsequently zero it in the kernel_ventry macro. We can therefore avoid zeroing tpidrro_el0 in the context-switch path for native tasks using the entry trampoline.
