---Summary--- Mainstream Intel processors have been using Family 6 for a couple of decades. This series is an audit of all the arch/x86 Intel Family-model checks to get ready for the upcoming Family 18 and 19 models. It also converts the last reamaining Intel x86_model checks to VFM ones. Patch 1-8 : Include Dave Hansen's Acked-by. Patch 9-15: Almost ready to merge but don't have review tags yet. ---v3 changes--- * Reordered the patches and moved the Acked ones to the front since they are likely to get applied sooner. * Patches 11 and 14 have a slightly different approach now. * Improved commit messages overall. * Dropped the drivers/ fixes. Will post them separately. ---Previous versions--- Refer the v2 cover letter for more background. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250211194407.2577252-1-sohil.mehta@xxxxxxxxx/ RFC-v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241220213711.1892696-1-sohil.mehta@xxxxxxxxx/ Sohil Mehta (15): x86/apic: Fix 32-bit APIC initialization for extended Intel Families x86/cpu/intel: Fix the movsl alignment preference for extended Families x86/microcode: Update the Intel processor flag scan check x86/mtrr: Modify a x86_model check to an Intel VFM check x86/cpu/intel: Replace early Family 6 checks with VFM ones x86/cpu/intel: Replace Family 15 checks with VFM ones x86/cpu/intel: Replace Family 5 model checks with VFM ones x86/acpi/cstate: Improve Intel Family model checks x86/smpboot: Remove confusing quirk usage in INIT delay x86/smpboot: Fix INIT delay assignment for extended Intel Families x86/cpu/intel: Fix fast string initialization for extended Families x86/pat: Replace Intel x86_model checks with VFM ones x86/cpu/intel: Bound the non-architectural constant_tsc model checks perf/x86: Simplify Intel PMU initialization perf/x86/p4: Replace Pentium 4 model checks with VFM ones arch/x86/events/intel/core.c | 16 ++++-- arch/x86/events/intel/p4.c | 7 +-- arch/x86/events/intel/p6.c | 26 ++-------- arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h | 21 +++++++- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cstate.c | 8 +-- arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c | 4 +- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c | 74 +++++++++++++-------------- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/intel.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c | 4 +- arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c | 17 +++--- arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c | 6 +-- 11 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
