From ad187f956108e1c56b444706212bf08d84c0bee0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2010 11:36:23 +0000 Subject: ARM: vfp ptrace: no point flushing hw context for PTRACE_GETVFPREGS If we're only reading the VFP context via the ptrace call, there's no need to invalidate the hardware context - we only need to do that on PTRACE_SETVFPREGS. This allows more efficient monitoring of a traced task.
