From 33f71188e94dcd34cacc8fd9e4e7a9bcf15d4eb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Herrmann Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 14:32:35 +0200 Subject: x86, mtrr: Assume SYS_CFG[Tom2ForceMemTypeWB] exists on all future AMD CPUs commit 3fdbf004c1706480a7c7fac3c9d836fa6df20d7d upstream. Instead of adapting the CPU family check in amd_special_default_mtrr() for each new CPU family assume that all new AMD CPUs support the necessary bits in SYS_CFG MSR. Tom2Enabled is architectural (defined in APM Vol.2). Tom2ForceMemTypeWB is defined in all BKDGs starting with K8 NPT. In pre K8-NPT BKDG this bit is reserved (read as zero). W/o this adaption Linux would unnecessarily complain about bad MTRR settings on every new AMD CPU family, e.g. [ 0.000000] WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 4863MB of RAM.
