[PATCH] i386: i386 add X86_FEATURE_PEBS and detection
Here is a patch (used by perfmon2) to detect the presence of the Precise Event Based Sampling (PEBS) feature for i386. The patch also adds the cpu_has_pebs macro. - adds X86_FEATURE_PEBS - adds cpu_has_pebs to test for X86_FEATURE_PEBS Signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
