2008-04-30x86: CONFIG_X86_ELAN fixIngo Molnar
move the X86_CPU section out of the !X86_ELAN branch. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-04-26x86, bitops: select the generic bitmap search functionsAlexander van Heukelum
Introduce GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT and GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT in lib/Kconfig, defaulting to off. An arch that wants to use the generic implementation now only has to use a select statement to include them. I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu and used that to select the generic search functions. This way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always wins over a "def_bool n"?

2008-04-26x86: merge the simple bitops and move them to bitops.hAlexander van Heukelum
Some of those can be written in such a way that the same inline assembly can be used to generate both 32 bit and 64 bit code. For ffs and fls, x86_64 unconditionally used the cmov instruction and i386 unconditionally used a conditional branch over a mov instruction. In the current patch I chose to select the version based on the availability of the cmov instruction instead. A small detail here is that x86_64 did not previously set CONFIG_X86_CMOV=y. Improved comments for ffs, ffz, fls and variations. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-26x86: remove NexGen supportDmitri Vorobiev
It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179 Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being essentially dead. As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether. The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test, which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

2008-04-17x86: MPSC should use P6 NOPsHugh Dickins
I've now noticed that the machine I call MPENTIUM4 for 32-bit kernels is called MPSC for 64-bit kernels, and in that case it still doesn't get the P6 NOPs it ought to. hpa explains that MK8 should still be excluded, so it's just a matter of including MPSC along with MPENTIUM4.

2008-03-04x86: a P4 is a P6 not an i486Hugh Dickins

2008-02-26x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERICH. Peter Anvin
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly (unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a 686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series. The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when building for generic consumption, avoid using them. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-02-26x86: require family >= 6 if we are using P6 NOPsH. Peter Anvin
The P6 family of NOPs are only available on family >= 6 or above, so enforce that in the boot code. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-01-30x86: debugctlmsr kconfigRoland McGrath
This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR, to be defined when configuring to support only hardware that definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag. The Intel documentation says "P6 family" and later processors all have it. I think the Kconfig dependencies are right to have it set for those and unset for others (i.e., when 586 and earlier are supported).
