Subject: [PATCH v6 26/30] objtool: Function to get the name of a CPU feature
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:53:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121095340.464045-27-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121095340.464045-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>
Add a function to get the name of a CPU feature. The function is
architecture dependent and currently only implemented for x86. The
feature names are automatically generated from the cpufeatures.h
include file.
