Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86: Fix misnamed AMD CPUID feature bit
Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 10:03:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283500988-32409-2-git-send-email-andre.przywara@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1283500988-32409-1-git-send-email-andre.przywara@amd.com>
The AMD SSE5 feature set as-it has been replaced by some extensions
to the AVX instruction set. Thus the bit formerly advertised as SSE5
is re-used for one of these extensions (XOP).
Although this changes the /proc/cpuinfo output, it is not user visible, as
there are no CPUs (yet) having this feature.
To avoid confusion this should be added to the stable series, too.
Cc: stable@kernel.org [.32.x .34.x, .35.x]
