x86/xsaves: Detect xsaves/xrstors feature Detect the xsaveopt, xsavec, xgetbv, and xsaves features in processor extended state enumberation sub-leaf (eax=0x0d, ecx=1): Bit 00: XSAVEOPT is available Bit 01: Supports XSAVEC and the compacted form of XRSTOR if set Bit 02: Supports XGETBV with ECX = 1 if set Bit 03: Supports XSAVES/XRSTORS and IA32_XSS if set The above features are defined in the new word 10 in cpu features. The IA32_XSS MSR (index DA0H) contains a state-component bitmap that specifies the state components that software has enabled xsaves and xrstors to manage. If the bit corresponding to a state component is clear in XCR0 | IA32_XSS, xsaves and xrstors will not operate on that state component, regardless of the value of the instruction mask.

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

cpufreq: AMD "frequency sensitivity feedback" powersave bias for ondemand governor Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change -- memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

x86, cpufeature: Rename X86_FEATURE_DTS to X86_FEATURE_DTHERM It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and /proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI. Therefore, rename this to "dtherm". This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject. a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp Reported-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4FE34BCB.5050305@linux.intel.com Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> v2.6.36..v3.4 Signed-off-by: H.

X86: Introduce HW-Pstate scattered cpuid feature It is rather similar to CPB (boot capability) feature and exists since fam10h (can be looked up in AMD's BKDG). The feature is needed for powernow-k8 to cleanup init functions and to provide proper autoloading matching with the new x86cpu modalias feature.
