Subject: [PATCH 4.9 001/165] x86/vdso: Use RDPID in preference to LSL when available
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>
commit a582c540ac1b10f0a7d37415e04c4af42409fd08 upstream.
RDPID is a new instruction that reads MSR_TSC_AUX quickly. This
should be considerably faster than reading the GDT. Add a
cpufeature for it and use it from __vdso_getcpu() when available.
