From 6e1315fe82308cd29e7550eab967262e8bbc71a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2015 10:39:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu: Provide a config option to disable static_cpu_has This brings .text savings of about ~1.6K when building a tinyconfig. It is off by default so nothing changes for the default. Kconfig help text from Josh.
