-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Andreas Herrmann upstream commit: 3ff42da5048649503e343a32be37b14a6a4e8aaf Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs after fixed MTRRs are configured. Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs). This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs -- because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits. More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits, too. (1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110) (2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems. On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541 (and also duplicates of this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714) The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n. The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI. Obviously when ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits. When CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)). How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible). This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to fix (1) and (2). I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs. BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...
