Subject: [PATCH 04/15] x86/cpu: Remove TSC-less CONFIG_M586 support
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 09:46:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214084710.3606385-5-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251214084710.3606385-1-mingo@kernel.org>
Remove support for TSC-less Pentium variants.
All TSC-capable Pentium variants, derivatives and
clones should still work under the M586TSC or M586MMX
options.
