| |
Hi, all. I'm asking for people with AMD CPUs to please try my latest MSR patch. I've laid the foundation for AMD support in the MTRR driver (in preparation for merging a patch from Alan Cox), and I'd like to get some testing done before I proceed.
So if you have an AMD CPU, please apply the patch and send me the contents of /proc/cpuinfo with and without the patch. Note that the patch doesn't add MTRR support yet: it just does some groundwork.
The patch is available at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html
and is against 2.2.2+devfs. If you have a non-devfs kernel, that's OK too, you'll just get a few failed hunks in the credits and ChangeLog. It doesn't actually break any code. So applyling the patch against plain 2.2.2 will be fine.
BTW: make sure you set CONFIG_MTRR=y.
Also make sure you set CONFIG_MSR=n and CONFIG_PERFMON=n if you patched against 2.2.2 only (i.e. no devfs).
Regards,
Richard....
