x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from

2008-08-28T02:23:22Z

We have had a number of cases where (and its predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in /proc/cpuinfo. This patch generates the latter from the former. It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by making that require a separate action it should at least be less likely to happen. It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace interface and must remain constant.) Signed-off-by: H.

x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit

2008-08-19T01:22:17Z

The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6. Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86: unify CPU feature string names

2008-02-04T15:48:00Z

Move the CPU feature string names to a separate file (common to 32 and 64 bits); additionally, make includable by host code in preparation for including the CPU feature strings in the boot code. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
