From b160091802d4a76dd063facb09fcf10bf5d5d747 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:27:47 -0800 Subject: x86: Remove "x86 CPU features in debugfs" (CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86 CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real hardware. The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all this information is already available to userspace via generic interfaces. Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove. See the referenced LKML thread for more information. Reported-by: Ozan Çağlayan Signed-off-by: H.
