upstream commit: 3ff42da5048649503e343a32be37b14a6a4e8aaf

Impact: bug fix + BIOS workaround

BIOS is expected to clear the SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on AMD CPUs
after fixed MTRRs are configured.

Some BIOSes do not clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] on BP (and on APs).

This can lead to obfuscation in Linux when this bit is not cleared on
BP but cleared on APs. A consequence of this is that the saved
fixed-MTRR state (from BP) differs from the fixed-MTRRs of APs --
because RdDram/WrDram bits are read as zero when
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] is cleared -- and Linux tries to sync
fixed-MTRR state from BP to AP. This implies that Linux sets
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and activates those bits.

More important is that (some) systems change these bits in SMM when
ACPI is enabled. Hence it is racy if Linux modifies RdMem/WrMem bits,
too.

(1) The patch modifies an old fix from Bernhard Kaindl to get
    suspend/resume working on some Acer Laptops. Bernhard's patch
    tried to sync RdMem/WrMem bits of fixed MTRR registers and that
    helped on those old Laptops. (Don't ask me why -- can't test it
    myself). But this old problem was not the motivation for the
    patch. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/3/110)

(2) The more important effect is to fix issues on some more current systems.

    On those systems Linux panics or just freezes, see

    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
    (and also duplicates of this bug:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11737
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11714)

    The affected systems boot only using acpi=ht, acpi=off or
    when the kernel is built with CONFIG_MTRR=n.

    The acpi options prevent full enablement of ACPI.  Obviously when
    ACPI is enabled the BIOS/SMM modfies RdMem/WrMem bits.  When
    CONFIG_MTRR=y Linux also accesses and modifies those bits when it
    needs to sync fixed-MTRRs across cores (Bernhard's fix, see (1)).
    How do you synchronize that? You can't. As a consequence Linux
    shouldn't touch those bits at all (Rationale are AMD's BKDGs which
    recommend to clear the bit that makes RdMem/WrMem accessible).
    This is the purpose of this patch. And (so far) this suffices to
    fix (1) and (2).

I suggest not to touch RdDram/WrDram bits of fixed-MTRRs and
SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramEn] and to clear SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn] as
suggested by AMD K8, and AMD family 10h/11h BKDGs.
BIOS is expected to do this anyway. This should avoid that
Linux and SMM tread on each other's toes ...
