This patch removes a redundant store on regs->flags introduced by commit: 71eb9ee9 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix linear IP of PEBS real_ip on Haswell and later CPUs") We were clearing the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT but it was overwritten by regs->flags = pebs->flags later on. The PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT is a software flag using bit 3 of regs->flags. X86 marks this bit as Reserved. To make sure this bit is zero before we do any IP processing, we clear it explicitly. Patch also removes the following assignment: regs->flags = pebs->flags | (regs->flags & PERF_EFLAGS_VM); Because there is no regs->flags to preserve anymore because set_linear_ip() is not called until later.
