commit 0b00de857a upstream.
Some CPUID features depend on other features. Currently it's
possible to to clear dependent features, but not clear the base features,
which can cause various interesting problems.
This patch implements a generic table to describe dependencies
between CPUID features, to be used by all code that clears
CPUID.
Some subsystems (like XSAVE) had an own implementation of this,
but it's better to do it all in a single place for everyone.
Then clear_cpu_cap and setup_clear_cpu_cap always look up
this table and clear all dependencies too.
This is intended to be a practical table: only for features
that make sense to clear. If someone for example clears FPU,
or other features that are essentially part of the required
base feature set, not much is going to work. Handling
that is right now out of scope. We're only handling
features which can be usefully cleared.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
