Subject[PATCH v3 1/5] x86/mm: change l1d flush runtime prctl behaviour
Date
Detection of task affinities at API opt-in time is not the best
approach, the approach is to kill the task if it runs on a
SMT enable core. This is better than not flushing the L1D cache
when the task switches from a non-SMT core to an SMT enabled core.
