We enable hardware DBM bit in a capable CPU, very early in the boot via __cpu_setup. This doesn't give us a flexibility of optionally disable the feature, as the clearing the bit is a bit costly as the TLB can cache the settings. Instead, we delay enabling the feature until the CPU is brought up into the kernel. We use the feature capability mechanism to handle it. The hardware DBM is a non-conflicting feature. i.e, the kernel can safely run with a mix of CPUs with some using the feature and the others don't. So, it is safe for a late CPU to have this capability and enable it, even if the active CPUs don't. To get this handled properly by the infrastructure, we unconditionally set the capability and only enable it on CPUs which really have the feature. Also, we print the feature detection from the "matches" call back to make sure we don't mislead the user when none of the CPUs could use the feature.

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.
