Hugh Dickins d2b3bab63b x86: MPSC should use P6 NOPs
I've now noticed that the machine I call MPENTIUM4 for 32-bit kernels
is called MPSC for 64-bit kernels, and in that case it still doesn't
get the P6 NOPs it ought to.  hpa explains that MK8 should still be
excluded, so it's just a matter of including MPSC along with MPENTIUM4.

Hugh Dickins fcab59a318 x86: a P4 is a P6 not an i486
P4 has been coming out as CPU_FAMILY=4 instead of 6: fix MPENTIUM4 typo.

H. Peter Anvin 959b3be64c x86: don't use P6_NOPs if compiling with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC
P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly
(unverified) on AMD K7s.  It is also the only thing that prevents a
686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series.

The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when
building for generic consumption, avoid using them.

H. Peter Anvin 7343b3b3a6 x86: require family >= 6 if we are using P6 NOPs
The P6 family of NOPs are only available on family >= 6 or above, so
enforce that in the boot code.

Nick Piggin fb0328e2e6 x86: reduce CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE bloat
CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE bloats text:

i386 allmodconf: size mm/built-in.o
           text    data     bss     dec     hex         text ratio
vanilla: 163082   20372   40120  223574   36956          100.00%
bugfix : 163509   20372   40120  224001   36b01            0.26%
noppro : 162191   20372   40120  222683   365db         -  0.55%
both   : 162267   20372   40120  222759   36627         -  0.50% (+0.05% vs noppro)

So with the ppro memory ordering bug out of the way, the PG_uptodate fix
only adds 76 bytes of text.

allow this config to be specified by distros.

Roland McGrath 0a049bb0ab x86: debugctlmsr kconfig
This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR,
to be defined when configuring to support only hardware that
definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag.

The Intel documentation says "P6 family" and later processors all have it.
I think the Kconfig dependencies are right to have it set for those and
unset for others (i.e., when 586 and earlier are supported).

Sam Ravnborg 1032c0ba9d x86: arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu unification
Move all CPU definitions to Kconfig.cpu
Always define X86_MINIMUM_CPU_FAMILY and do the
obvious code cleanup in boot/cpucheck.c
