    x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h> · 7414aa41
    H. Peter Anvin 提交于
    We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
    predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
    /proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.
    
    It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
    making that require a separate action it should at least be less
    likely to happen.
    
    It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
    gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
    interface and must remain constant.)
