Subject: [PATCH] AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order
Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 13:03:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101005110312.GA20693@aftab> (raw)

The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the Valid
bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0) in its first iteration and
breaking out if the bit is cleared.

However, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or
MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked prior to iterating over the
MCI_MISCj thresholding group only.

Fix this by decoupling the Valid bit check, which is part of the DRAM
thresholding group on F10h in the first iteration of the loop, from the
BlkPtr check.
