[RFC 06/13] x86/mm: Disable PCID on 32-bit kernels

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

 



32-bit kernels on new hardware will see PCID in CPUID, but PCID can
only be used in 64-bit mode.  Rather than making all PCID code
conditional, just disable the feature on 32-bit builds.
