[PATCH v2 3/3] i386: Change stepping of Haswell to non-blacklisted value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



glibc blacklists TSX on Haswell CPUs with model==60 and
stepping < 4. To make the Haswell CPU model more useful, make
those guests actually use TSX by changing CPU stepping to 4.
