From eb7c5f872e697b0aebd846cf3a3328d71e9decb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yu-cheng yu Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 14:24:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Disable XGETBV1 when no XSAVE When "noxsave" is given as a command-line input, the kernel should disable XGETBV1. This issue currently does not cause any actual problems. XGETBV1 is only useful if we have something using the 'init optimization' (i.e. xsaveopt, xsaves). We already clear both of those in fpu__xstate_clear_all_cpu_caps(). But this is good for completeness.
