Hello, I am wondering whether anyone has looked into which AMD CPUs support these instructions. I would think that installing a 486 kernel on an AthlonXP, for example, would be quite sub-optimal.
i.e. can you safely enable X86_P6_NOP for other CPUs, such as AMD K7/K8, VIA C3/C7, or Efficeon? If not, would it be more sensible to avoid using these instructions? It appears that at least some VIA C3 CPUs do not support these opcodes: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463606#45 -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
