Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm: Use RDPKRU and WRPKRU mnemonics in <asm/special_insns.h>
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:35:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250616083611.157740-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.30,
which supports RDPKRU and WRPKRU instruction mnemonics.
Replace the byte-wise specification of RDPKRU and
WRPKRU with these proper mnemonics.
No functional change intended.
