From d12a72b844a49d4162f24cefdab30bed3f86730e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 11:42:58 -0800 Subject: x86/mm: Add a 'noinvpcid' boot option to turn off INVPCID This adds a chicken bit to turn off INVPCID in case something goes wrong. It's an early_param() because we do TLB flushes before we parse __setup() parameters.
