From 8c99df217f8e36fde46cbf2af50b5b191857d9d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawan Gupta Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 12:28:57 +0200 Subject: x86/tsx: Add "auto" option to the tsx= cmdline parameter commit 7531a3596e3272d1f6841e0d601a614555dc6b65 upstream. Platforms which are not affected by X86_BUG_TAA may want the TSX feature enabled. Add "auto" option to the TSX cmdline parameter. When tsx=auto disable TSX when X86_BUG_TAA is present, otherwise enable TSX.
