[PATCH 4.4 36/86] ACPI / extlog: Check for RDMSR failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7cecb47f55e00282f972a1e0b09136c8cd938221 upstream.

extlog_init() uses rdmsrl() to read an MSR, which on older CPUs
provokes a error message at boot:

    unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x179 at rIP: 0xcd047307 (native_read_msr+0x7/0x40)

Use rdmsrl_safe() instead, and return -ENODEV if it fails.
