| Subject: x86/mm: Add the 'nopcid' boot option to turn off PCID |
| |
| From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> |
| |
| commit 0790c9aad84901ca1bdc14746175549c8b5da215 upstream. |
| |
| The parameter is only present on x86_64 systems to save a few bytes, |
| as PCID is always disabled on x86_32. |
