Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Refactor MTRR and PAT initializations
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 21:45:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457671546-13486-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hpe.com> (raw)
Since 'commit 9cd25aac1f44 ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it
is disabled")', we emulate a PAT table when PAT is disabled.
This requires pat_init() be called even if PAT is disabled,
which revealed a long standing issue that PAT is left enabled
without calling pat_init() at all.
pat_init() is called from MTRR code since it relies on MTRR's
rendezvous handler to initialize PAT for all APs . However,
when CPU does not support MTRR, ex. qemu32's virtual CPU, MTRR
is set disabled and does not call pat_init(). There is no
interface available for MTRR to disable PAT, either.
This patch-set refactors MTRR and PAT initializations to make
sure that PAT is properly initialized in all cases.
