2010-01-24x86: Remove "x86 CPU features in debugfs" (CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG)H. Peter Anvin
CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86 CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real hardware. The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all this information is already available to userspace via generic interfaces. Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove. See the referenced LKML thread for more information. Reported-by: Ozan Çağlayan <ozan@pardus.org.tr> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-06-07x86: cpu_debug: Remove model information to reduce encoding-decodingJaswinder Singh Rajput
Remove model information, encoding/decoding and reduce bookkeeping. This, besides removing a lot of code and cleaning up the code, also enables these features on many more CPUs that were enumerated before.

It seems by mistake these files got execute permissions so removing it. Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinderrajput@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1239211186.9037.2.camel@ht.satnam> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-13x86: cpu_debug add write support for MSRsJaswinder Singh Rajput
Supported write flag for registers. currently write is enabled only for PMC MSR.

2009-03-10x86: cpu architecture debug codeJaswinder Singh Rajput
Introduce: cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/* for Intel and AMD processors to view / debug the state of each CPU. By using this we can debug whole range of registers and other cpu information for debugging purpose and monitor how things are changing. This can be useful for developers as well as for users.
