[PATCH] x86, AMD: Extend support to future families

[Borislav Petkov]

Extend support to future families, and in particular:

* extend direct mapping split of Tseg SMM area.
* extend K8 flavored alternatives (NOPS).
* rep movs* prefix is fast in ucode.

This doesn't reflect any currently shipping hardware, right?

Not yet. And I'm assuming you're driving at tagging it for -stable?
If yes, I think a stable tag makes sense since this way the distros
will pick it up more easily and we most definitely will need to do the
backport later otherwise.

Do you need another version with the stable tag resent or is it easier
for you to edit the commit message of the one you have already?

Thanks.

No, I'm not -- Linus is being really snippy about wanting regressions
only this cycle, which this is not.  Once .35 is out you can talk to
Greg about -stable.

I work for Intel.  I don't speak on their behalf.

Yeah, so I heard :)

Right, so this is clearly .36 merge window material - I just thought I
should get it out as early as possible so that it gets tested.

And by the way, how about a tag which says which kernel is the patch
aimed at so that maintainers know what should go where. I mean, with
those gazillion patches on lkml one doesn't always know which is
regression, which is a new feature but should go in earlier so that it
catches the next merge window etc? I.e., something like:

Aimed-at: 2.6.36+

or for regressions

Aimed-at: 2.6.35-rc3

and maybe even a bug info

Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=....

I'm afraid this is starting to sound like Ingo's Impact: tag, at least
semantically, which didn't get accepted. Hmm, anyway, I'll try adding
such an information in later patches.

Thanks.
