Subject: [PATCH v5 18/18] Change document for kernel option clearcpuid
Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:00:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1552431636-31511-19-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1552431636-31511-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>
Since kernel option clearcpuid now supports multiple options and CPU
capability flags, the document needs to be changed.

Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h for the valid bit
- numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
+ numbers or /proc/cpuinfo for valid CPU flags.
+ Multiple options can be used to disable a few features.
+ Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
ones should be.
Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
