[PATCH v6 17/20] x86/clearcpuid: Support feature flag string in kernel option clearcpuid

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

 



The kernel option clearcpuid currently only takes feature bit which
can be changed from kernel to kernel.

Extend clearcpuid to use cap flag string, which is defined in
x86_cap_flags[] and won't be changed from kernel to kernel.
And user can easily get the cap flag string from /proc/cpuinfo.
