In a context switch from a task that is detecting split locks to one that
is not (or vice versa) we need to update the TEST_CTRL MSR. Currently this
is done with the common sequence:
read the MSR
flip the bit
write the MSR
in order to avoid changing the value of any reserved bits in the MSR.
Cache unused and reserved bits of TEST_CTRL MSR with SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT bit
cleared during initialization, so we can avoid an expensive RDMSR
instruction during context switch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
