From d6250a3f12edb3a86db9598ffeca3de8b4a219e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 16:28:19 +0100 Subject: x86, nops: Missing break resulting in incorrect selection on Intel The Intel case falls through into the generic case which then changes the values. For cases like the P6 it doesn't do the right thing so this seems to be a screwup. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-lww2uirad4skzjlmrm0vru8o@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

If something later triggers patching, it will overwrite kernel code with garbage.
