From 9cd25aac1f44f269de5ecea11f7d927f37f1d01c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 18:55:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled In the case when PAT is disabled on the command line with "nopat" or when virtualization doesn't support PAT (correctly) - see 9d34cfdf4796 ("x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly"). we emulate it using the PWT and PCD cache attribute bits. Get rid of boot_pat_state while at it. Based on a conglomerate patch from Toshi Kani.
