From b0563468eeac88ebc70559d52a0b66efc37e4e9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Cooper Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 17:46:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Disable XSAVES on AMD family 0x17 AMD Erratum 1386 is summarised as: XSAVES Instruction May Fail to Save XMM Registers to the Provided State Save Area This piece of accidental chronomancy causes the %xmm registers to occasionally reset back to an older value. Ignore the XSAVES feature on all AMD Zen1/2 hardware. The XSAVEC instruction (which works fine) is equivalent on affected parts.
