Subject: [PATCH v5 00/16] x86: make PAT and MTRR independent from each other
Today PAT can't be used without MTRR being available, unless MTRR is at
least configured via CONFIG_MTRR and the system is running as Xen PV
guest. In this case PAT is automatically available via the hypervisor,
but the PAT MSR can't be modified by the kernel and MTRR is disabled.
The same applies to a kernel built with no MTRR support: it won't
allow to use the PAT MSR, even if there is no technical reason for
that, other than setting up PAT on all CPUs the same way (which is a
requirement of the processor's cache management) is relying on some
MTRR specific code.
Fix all of that by:
- moving the function needed by PAT from MTRR specific code one level
up
- reworking the init sequences of MTRR and PAT to be more similar to
each other without calling PAT from MTRR code
- removing the dependency of PAT on MTRR
There is some more cleanup done reducing code size.
Note that patches 1+2 have already been applied to tip.git x86/cpu.
They are included in this series only for reference.
Changes in V5:
- addressed comments
Changes in V4:
- new patches 10, 14, 15, 16
- split up old patch 4 into 3 patches
- addressed comments
Changes in V3:
- replace patch 1 by just adding a comment
Changes in V2:
- complete rework of the patches based on comments by Boris Petkov
- added several patches to the series
