Subject: [PATCH] i386 add Intel BTS cpufeature bit and detection (take 2)
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 06:22:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061116142225.GF18162@frankl.hpl.hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061116142049.GE18162@frankl.hpl.hp.com>

Andi,

Here is a small patch for i386 which adds a cpufeature flag and
detection code for Intel's Branch Trace Store (BTS) feature. This
feature can be found on Intel P4 and Core 2 processors among others.
It can also be used by perfmon.

The patch is relative to 2.6.19-rc5-git7 + x86_64-2.6.19-rc5-git7-061116-2

changelog:
	- add CPU_FEATURE_BTS
	- add Branch Trace Store detection
