2013-01-28x86: Require MOVBE feature in cpuid when we use itDavid Woodhouse
Add MOVBE to asm/required-features.h so we check for it during startup and don't bother checking for it later. CONFIG_MATOM is used because it corresponds to -march=atom in the Makefiles. If the rules get more complicated it may be necessary to make this an explicit Kconfig option which uses -mmovbe/-mno-movbe to control the use of this instruction explicitly.

2010-07-07x86, cpu: Support the features flags in new CPUID leaf 7H. Peter Anvin
Intel has defined CPUID leaf 7 as the next set of feature flags (see the AVX specification, version 007). Add support for this new feature flags word. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> LKML-Reference: <tip-*@vger.kernel.org>
2009-03-30x86-64: non-paravirt systems always has PSE and PGEJeremy Fitzhardinge
A paravirtualized system may not have PSE or PGE available to guests, so they are not required features. However, without paravirt we can assume that any x86-64 implementation will have them available. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
2009-03-30x86-64: remove PGE from must-have feature listJeremy Fitzhardinge
PGE may not be available when running paravirtualized, so test the cpuid bit before using it. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
2008-10-22x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
