From c6fd893da927c6cefb2ece22402765379921a834 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:29:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86, avx: don't use avx instructions with "noxsave" boot param Clear AVX, AVX2 features along with clearing XSAVE feature bits, as part of the parsing "noxsave" parameter. Fixes the kernel boot panic with "noxsave" boot parameter. We could have checked cpu_has_osxsave along with cpu_has_avx etc, but Peter mentioned clearing the feature bits will be better for uses like static_cpu_has() etc. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343755754.2041.2.camel@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com Cc: # v3.5 Signed-off-by: H.
