Subject: perf/x86: Fix offcore_rsp valid mask for SNB/IVB
From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f1923820c447e986a9da0fc6bf60c1dccdf0408e upstream.
The valid mask for both offcore_response_0 and
offcore_response_1 was wrong for SNB/SNB-EP,
IVB/IVB-EP. It was possible to write to
reserved bit and cause a GP fault crashing
the kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly marking the
reserved bits in the valid mask for all the processors
mentioned above.
A distinction between desktop and server parts is introduced
because bits 24-30 are only available on the server parts.
This version of the patch is just a rebase to perf/urgent tree
and should apply to older kernels as well.
