From 11570da1c5b1dee1dc1439159e967ee44214a78b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:16:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86/jump-label: Do not bother updating nops if they are correct On boot up, the jump label init function scans all the jump label locations and converts them to the best nop for the machine. If the nop is already the ideal nop, do not bother with changing it. Cc: Jason Baron Cc: H.
