[PATCH v9 12/17] x86/split_lock: Enable split lock detection by default
From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Tue Jun 18 2019 - 18:57:38 EST
A split locked access locks bus and degrades overall memory access
performance. When split lock detection feature is enumerated, enable
the feature by default by writing 1 to bit 29 in MSR TEST_CTL to find
any split lock issue.
