[PATCH 06/15] x86/split_lock: Save #AC setting for split lock in BIOS in boot time and restore the setting in reboot

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Mon May 14 2018 - 14:56:44 EST


BIOS may contain split locked instructions. #AC handler in BIOS may
treat split lock as fatal fault and stop execution. If kernel enables
#AC exception for split locked accesses and then kernel returns to BIOS,
the BIOS reboot code may hit #AC exception and block the reboot.

Instead of debugging the buggy BIOS, #AC setting for split lock is
restored to original BIOS setting to hide the potential BIOS issue and
allow kernel reboot succeed.
