x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on Xen
After commit ID in the Fixes: tag, pat_enabled() returns false (because of PAT initialization being suppressed in the absence of MTRRs being announced to be available). This has become a problem: the i915 driver now fails to initialize when running PV on Xen (i915_gem_object_pin_map() is where I located the induced failure), and its error handling is flaky enough to (at least sometimes) result in a hung system. Yet even beyond that problem the keying of the use of WC mappings to pat_enabled() (see arch_can_pci_mmap_wc()) means that in particular graphics frame buffer accesses would have been quite a bit less optimal than possible. Arrange for the function to return true in such environments, without undermining the rest of PAT MSR management logic considering PAT to be disabled: specifically, no writes to the PAT MSR should occur. For the new boolean to live in .init.data, init_cache_modes() also needs moving to .init.text (where it could/should have lived already before). [ bp: This is the "small fix" variant for stable. It'll get replaced with a proper PAT and MTRR detection split upstream but that is too involved for a stable backport. - additional touchups to commit msg. Use cpu_feature_enabled(). ] Fixes: bdd8b6c9 ("drm/i915: replace X86_FEATURE_PAT with pat_enabled()") Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/9385fa60-fa5d-f559-a137-6608408f88b0@suse.com
