From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 00:39:32 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e00df5818964298c9821365a6cb7a8304227c5c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bit The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6. Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.
