Subject[PATCH 5.10 113/135] arm64: vdso: Avoid ISB after reading from cntvct_el0
Date
From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

commit 77ec462536a13d4b428a1eead725c4818a49f0b1 upstream.

We can avoid the expensive ISB instruction after reading the counter in
the vDSO gettime functions by creating a fake address hazard against a
dummy stack read, just like we do inside the kernel.
