2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Zhao Yakui commit 13b40a1a065824d2d4e55c8b48ea9f3f9d162929 upstream. The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether the Cx type is supported or not. On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object: >{ ResourceTemplate () { Register (FFixedHW, 0x01, // Bit Width 0x02, // Bit Offset 0x0000000000889759, // Address 0x03, // Access Size ) }, 0x03, 0xF5, 0x015E } In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether the Cx type is supported or not. mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui Acked-by:Venki Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown Cc: Thomas Renninger --- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cstate.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cstate.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cstate.c @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ static struct cstate_entry *cpu_cstate_e static short mwait_supported[ACPI_PROCESSOR_MAX_POWER]; #define MWAIT_SUBSTATE_MASK (0xf) +#define MWAIT_CSTATE_MASK (0xf) #define MWAIT_SUBSTATE_SIZE (4) #define CPUID_MWAIT_LEAF (5) @@ -98,7 +99,8 @@ int acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_probe(unsi cpuid(CPUID_MWAIT_LEAF, &eax, &ebx, &ecx, &edx); /* Check whether this particular cx_type (in CST) is supported or not */ - cstate_type = (cx->address >> MWAIT_SUBSTATE_SIZE) + 1; + cstate_type = ((cx->address >> MWAIT_SUBSTATE_SIZE) & + MWAIT_CSTATE_MASK) + 1; edx_part = edx >> (cstate_type * MWAIT_SUBSTATE_SIZE); num_cstate_subtype = edx_part & MWAIT_SUBSTATE_MASK; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
