[PATCH for review] [87/145] x86_64: remove lock prefix from is_at_popf() tests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

From: Chuck Ebbert <[email protected]>
The lock prefix will cause an exception when used with the
popf instruction, so no need to continue searching after it's
found.
