Subject: [PATCH v1 1/5] x86/cpu: Factor init_cpu_info() out of identify_cpu()
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 17:20:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704002046.3859585-2-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260704002046.3859585-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
identify_cpu() begins by resetting the struct cpuinfo_x86 fields to
their unknown/default values and clearing the capability arrays with
memset().
Move that reset into a new helper: init_cpu_info(). This is
preparation for letting the callers decide whether the reset is
needed.
