Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Skip apply SSBS call for non SSBS system
Date:   Tue,  4 Aug 2020 19:44:42 +0530
Message-Id: <1596550484-11029-1-git-send-email-gkohli@codeaurora.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In a system where no cpu's implement SSBS, for
them no need to set pstate. This might help to save
few cpu cycles during context switch.
