The following commit has been merged into the x86/cpu branch of tip: Commit-ID: c949110ef4e31cb5d3387bd8273fd5de66b5227b Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/c949110ef4e31cb5d3387bd8273fd5de66b5227b Author: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu, 27 Jan 2022 12:56:22 +01:00 Committer: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 04 Apr 2022 10:16:55 +02:00 x86/cpu: Remove "nosep" That chicken bit was added by 4f88651125e2 ("[PATCH] i386: allow disabling X86_FEATURE_SEP at boot") but measuring int80 vsyscall performance on 32-bit doesn't matter anymore. If still needed, one can boot with clearcpuid=sep to disable that feature for testing.
