H. Peter Anvin	97fc0555da	x86 setup: handle more than 8 CPU flag words ... Checkin e38e05a858 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: H.

H. Peter Anvin	7414aa41a6	x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h> ... 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: H.

H. Peter Anvin	f0be6c6a69	x86 setup: print missing CPU features in cleartext ... 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. Signed-off-by: H.
