A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

In the file arch/x86/mm/pat.c, there's a '__pat_enabled' variable. The variable is set to 1 by default and the function pat_init() sets __pat_enabled to 0 if the CPU doesn't support PAT. However, on AMD K6-3 CPUs, the processor initialization code never calls pat_init() and so __pat_enabled stays 1 and the function pat_enabled() returns true, even though the K6-3 CPU doesn't support PAT. The result of this bug is that a kernel warning is produced when attempting to start the Xserver and the Xserver doesn't start (fork() returns ENOMEM). Another symptom of this bug is that the framebuffer driver doesn't set the K6-3 MTRR registers: x86/PAT: Xorg:3891 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xe4000000-0xe5ffffff], got write-combining ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3891 at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:1020 untrack_pfn+0x5c/0x9f ... x86/PAT: Xorg:3891 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xe4000000-0xe5ffffff], got write-combining To fix the bug change pat_enabled() so that it returns true only if PAT initialization was actually done. Also, I changed boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) to this_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) in pat_ap_init(), so that we check the PAT feature on the processor that is being initialized.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
