Subject: [PATCH 4.9 041/120] x86/bugs: Separate AMD E400 erratum and C1E bug

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 3344ed30791af66dbbad5f375008f3d1863b6c99 upstream.

The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E
state) is a two step process:

 - Selection of the E400 aware idle routine

 - Detection whether the platform is affected

The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on
family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily
affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the
firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot.

The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to
detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected
CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read.

There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time
which requires to seperate the bug flags:

  X86_BUG_AMD_E400 	- Selects the E400 aware idle routine and
  			  enables the detection

  X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E  - Set when the platform is affected by E400

Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400
bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional
detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches
to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.
