Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Free up unused feature bits
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2024 23:30:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241107233000.2742619-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com> (raw)
Linux defined feature bits X86_FEATURE_P3 and X86_FEATURE_P4 are not
used anywhere, neither are they visible to userspace.
commit f31d731e4467 ("x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in alternatives") got
rid of the last usage. Remove the related mappings and code.
