Subject: perf, x86: Use ALTERNATIVE() to check for X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c8e5910edf8bbe2e5c6c35a4ef2a578cc7893b25;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

perf, x86: Use ALTERNATIVE() to check for X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE

Using ALTERNATIVE() when checking for X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE avoids
an extra pointer chase and data cache hit.
