[PATCH] x86/idle: Use MONITORX and MWAITX mnemonics in <asm/mwait.h>
From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 04:33:15 EST
Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.30,
which supports MONITORX and MWAITX instruction mnemonics.
Replace the byte-wise specification of MONITORX and
MWAITX with these proper mnemonics.
No functional change intended.
