Subject: [PATCH v3] x86: clear incorrectly forced X86_FEATURE_LAHF_LM flag
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:56:45 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A80A5AD.2000209@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090810131219.GD21879@aftab>
Due to an erratum with certain AMD Athlon 64 processors, the BIOS may
need to force enable the LAHF_LM capability. Unfortunately, in at
least one case, the BIOS does this even for processors that do not
support the functionality.
Add a specific check that will clear the feature bit for processors
known not to support the LAHF/SAHF instructions.
