Subject: [PATCH] x86: handle MSR exception when setting energy perf bias
On very rare occasions, immediately after a suspend, one of our
SandyBridge CI boxes hits the exception below on CPU0 while trying to
reconfigure the energy bias register. As far as I can tell, this is not
likely a race in the kernel, since we have only one cpu online, no
preempt and irqs_disabled, and it can only be reproduced in this
specific SNB-2600 on rare occasions. It looks more of a faulty hardware
thing to me.
Still, we can handle this exception more gracefully to silence the CI,
by using the safe version of the msrl_read/write wrapper.
The log on the faulty box is as follows:
