From 5bbc097d890409d8eff4e3f1d26f11a9d6b7c07e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 14:47:40 +0200 Subject: x86, amd: Disable GartTlbWlkErr when BIOS forgets it This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU causing a reboot. The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely. This patch is the fix for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012 on my machine.
