From 0790c9aad84901ca1bdc14746175549c8b5da215 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:53:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Add the 'nopcid' boot option to turn off PCID The parameter is only present on x86_64 systems to save a few bytes, as PCID is always disabled on x86_32.
