From 10ac0fbefd65ff09ce3a884400c5afe62c9707b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Ostrovsky Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 11:19:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86, amd: Do not enable ARAT feature on AMD processors below family 0x12 commit e9cdd343a5e42c43bcda01e609fa23089e026470 upstream. Commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 added support for ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it is in a deep C state, including C1E state. Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to broadcasting timer when going idle.
