x86/cpu: Allow feature bit names from /proc/cpuinfo in clearcpuid=
Having to give the X86_FEATURE array indices in order to disable a feature bit for testing is not really user-friendly. So accept the feature bit names too. Some feature bits don't have names so there the array indices are still accepted, of course. Clearing CPUID flags is not something which should be done in production so taint the kernel too. An exemplary cmdline would then be something like: clearcpuid=de,440,smca,succory,bmi1,3dnow ("succory" is wrong on purpose). And it says: [ ... ] Clearing CPUID bits: de 13:24 smca (unknown: succory) bmi1 3dnow Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220127115626.14179-2-bp@alien8.de
