[patch 12/12] i386: Use global flag to disable broken local apictimer on AMD CPUs.

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Oct 08 2007 - 14:44:47 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx>

commit d3f7eae182b04997be19343a23f7009170f4f7a5 upstream

The Averatec 2370 and some other Turion laptop BIOS seems to program the
ENABLE_C1E MSR inconsistently between cores. This confuses the lapic
use heuristics because when C1E is enabled anywhere it seems to affect
the complete chip.

Use a global flag instead of a per cpu flag to handle this.
If any CPU has C1E enabled disabled lapic use.

Thanks to Cal Peake for debugging.
