[ Upstream commit fbd890b9b8497bab04c1d338bd97579a7bc53fab ]
So far we have treated the feature capabilities as system wide
and this wouldn't help with features that could be detected locally
on one or more CPUs (e.g, KPTI, Software prefetch). This patch
splits the feature detection to two phases :
1) Local CPU features are checked on all boot time active CPUs.
2) System wide features are checked only once after all CPUs are
active.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
