2025-05-17	x86/mm/64: Make 5-level paging support unconditional	Kirill A. Shutemov	1	-4/+0
	Both Intel and AMD CPUs support 5-level paging, which is expected to become more widely adopted in the future. All major x86 Linux distributions have the feature enabled. Remove CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL and related #ifdeffery for it to make it more readable. Suggested-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2025-03-19	x86/cpufeatures: Add {REQUIRED,DISABLED} feature configs	H. Peter Anvin (Intel)	1	-0/+201
	Required and disabled feature masks completely rely on build configs, i.e., once a build config is fixed, so are the feature masks. To prepare for auto-generating the <asm/cpufeaturemasks.h> header with required and disabled feature masks based on a build config, add feature Kconfig items: - X86_REQUIRED_FEATURE_x - X86_DISABLED_FEATURE_x each of which may be set to "y" if and only if its preconditions from current build config are met.
