      x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code · 8d02c211
      Thomas Petazzoni authored
      
      
      This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out
      CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The
      new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
      selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons.
      
      An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      1125479	 118760	 212992	1457231	 163c4f	vmlinux.old
      1121355	 116536	 212992	1450883	 162383	vmlinux
        -4124   -2224       0   -6348   -18CC +/-
      
      However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with
      regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

      x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place · 774400a3
      Thomas Petazzoni authored
      
      
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
      (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
      and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
      file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
      they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
      compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.
      
      This patch moves these functions to a new
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when
      X86_32 is enabled.

      x86: make movsl_mask definition non-CPU specific · 8bfcb396
      Thomas Petazzoni authored
      
      
      movsl_mask is currently defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c, which
      contains code specific to Intel CPUs. However, movsl_mask is used in
      the non-CPU specific code in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c, which breaks
      the compilation when support for Intel CPUs is compiled out.
      
      This patch solves this problem by moving movsl_mask's definition close
      to its users in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c.
