2014-08-17x86: Support compiling out human-friendly processor feature namesJosh Triplett
The table mapping CPUID bits to human-readable strings takes up a non-trivial amount of space, and only exists to support /proc/cpuinfo and a couple of kernel messages. Since programs depend on the format of /proc/cpuinfo, force inclusion of the table when building with /proc support; otherwise, support omitting that table to save space, in which case the kernel messages will print features numerically instead. In addition to saving 1408 bytes out of vmlinux, this also saves 1373 bytes out of the uncompressed setup code, which contributes directly to the size of bzImage.

2008-09-16x86 setup: handle more than 8 CPU flag wordsH. Peter Anvin
Checkin e38e05a85828dac23540cd007df5f20985388afc added a 9th CPU flag word, but didn't adjust the boot code to match. This patch adds the necessary boot code support. Note: due to a typo in an #if statement, it didn't trigger the #error this was supposed to do. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2008-05-28x86: Fix up silly i1586 boot message.Dave Jones
Trying to boot a 64-bit kernel on a 32bit Pentium 4 gets you an amusing message along the lines of. "you need an x86-64, but you only have an i1586" due to the P4 being family F. Munge it to be 686. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2008-02-04x86 setup: print missing CPU features in cleartextH. Peter Anvin
Instead of obscure numbers, print the list of missing CPU features in cleartext. To conserve space, use a host program (mkcpustr.c) to produce a compact list of mandatory features only.
