Hi, Thanks for this patch.
I was having trouble (crashes with the NVIDIA proprietary driver) on a Debian system with an i7-5775C and libc6=2.19-18+deb8u1 (stable) I tried first to update the Intel microcode with the "unreleased" 0x13 microcode version but it didn't disabled the TSX-NI instructions [1] neither the crashes. Finally I upgraded to glibc=2.21-0experimental2 and it fixed the crashes. I wonder: Should this patch be backported both to stable and unstable? Thanks for your awesome work !
