Move them to a separate header and have the following dependency: x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

I believe the REQUIRED_MASK aproach was taken so that it was easier to consult in assembly (arch/x86/kernel/verify_cpu.S). DISABLED_MASK does not have the same restriction, but I implemented it the same way for consistency. We have a REQUIRED_MASK... which does two things: 1. Keeps a list of cpuid bits to check in very early boot and refuse to boot if those are not present. 2. Consulted during cpu_has() checks, which allows us to optimize out things at compile-time. In other words, if we *KNOW* we will not boot with the feature off, then we can safely assume that it will be present forever. But, we don't have a similar mechanism for CPU features which may be present but that we know we will not use. We simply use our existing mechanisms to repeatedly check the status of the bit at runtime (well, the alternatives patching helps here but it does not provide compile-time optimization). Adding a feature to disabled-features.h allows the bit to be checked via a new macro: cpu_feature_enabled(). Note that for features in DISABLED_MASK, checks with this macro have all of the benefits of an #ifdef. Before, we would have done this in a header: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MPX #define cpu_has_mpx cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MPX) #else #define cpu_has_mpx 0 #endif and this in the code: if (cpu_has_mpx) do_some_mpx_thing(); Now, just add your feature to DISABLED_MASK and you can do this everywhere, and get the same benefits you would have from #ifdefs: if (cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_MPX)) do_some_mpx_thing(); We need a new function and *not* a modification to cpu_has() because there are cases where we actually need to check the CPU itself, despite what features the kernel supports. The best example of this is a hypervisor which has no control over what features its guests are using and where the guest does not depend on the host for support.

Partition the header include path flags into two sets, one for kernelspace builds and one for userspace builds. Add the following directories to build after the ordinary include directories so that #include will pick up the UAPI header directly if the kernel header has been moved there. The userspace set (represented by the USERINCLUDE make variable) contains: -I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi -I arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated/uapi -I $(srctree)/include/uapi -I include/generated/uapi -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h and the kernelspace set (represented by the LINUXINCLUDE make variable) contains: -I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include -I arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated -I $(srctree)/include -I include --- if not building in the source tree plus everything in the USERINCLUDE set. Then use USERINCLUDE in building the x86 boot code.

Checkin e38e05a8 added a 9th CPU flag word, but didn't adjust the boot code to match. This patch adds the necessary boot code support. Note: due to a typo in an #if statement, it didn't trigger the #error this was supposed to do. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

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.) Signed-off-by: NH.

Instead of obscure numbers, print the list of missing CPU features in cleartext. To conserve space, use a host program (mkcpustr.c) to produce a compact list of mandatory features only.
