From a515348fc69fd1d9e8ebd34a16f1026d7fe32048 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Neuling Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 19:34:27 +0000 Subject: powerpc/pseries: Kill all prefetch streams on context switch On context switch, we should have no prefetch streams leak from one userspace process to another. This frees up prefetch resources for the next process. Based on patch from Milton Miller.
