I have no idea what you mean with that. That patch you sent (see above) did not apply against WIP.x86/cpu and claims exactly what I changed and pushed out. Now you say it's the other way round: > The point is the two GCC version indications are opposite right now: > - Intrinsics support begins from v4.6.4, not v6. > - Address space identifiers support starts from v6, instead of v4.6.4 Is it really so hard to send proper patches like the below or if that's not possible write up the facts so someone else can turn it into a proper patch like the one below: Thanks, tglx 8<-------------------- diff --git a/Documentation/x86/x86_64/fsgs.rst b/Documentation/x86/x86_64/fsgs.rst index d5588e00b939..380c0b5ccca2 100644 --- a/Documentation/x86/x86_64/fsgs.rst +++ b/Documentation/x86/x86_64/fsgs.rst @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ FSGSBASE instructions enablement FSGSBASE instructions compiler support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -GCC version 6 and newer provide instrinsics for the FSGSBASE +GCC version 4.6.4 and newer provide instrinsics for the FSGSBASE instructions.
