From: Venkatesh Srinivas <venkateshs@xxxxxxxxxx> Linux 3.14 unconditionally reads the RAPL PMU MSRs on boot, without handling General Protection Faults on reading those MSRs. Rather than injecting a #GP, which prevents boot, handle the MSRs by returning 0 for their data. Zero was checked to be safe by code review of the RAPL PMU driver and in discussion with the original driver author (eranian@xxxxxxxxxx).
