[PATCH] i386: use thread_info flags for debug regs and IO bitmaps
Use thread info flags to track use of debug registers and IO bitmaps. - add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active - add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used - modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags Performance tested on Pentium II, ten runs of LMbench context switch benchmark (smaller is better:) before after avg 3.65 3.39 min 3.55 3.33 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
