If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <sta...@vger.kernel.org> know about it. From 1c52d859cb2d417e7216d3e56bb7fea88444cec9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 10:24:05 -0800 Subject: x86/asm/32: Make sync_core() handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit kernels From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> commit 1c52d859cb2d417e7216d3e56bb7fea88444cec9 upstream. We support various non-Intel CPUs that don't have the CPUID instruction, so the M486 test was wrong. For now, fix it with a big hammer: handle missing CPUID on all 32-bit CPUs.
