x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly VMWare seems not to emulate the PAT MSR correctly: reaeding MSR_IA32_CR_PAT returns 0 even after writing another value to it. Commit bd809af16e3ab triggers this VMWare bug when the kernel is booted as a VMWare guest. Detect this bug and don't use the read value if it is 0. Fixes: bd809af16e3ab "x86: Enable PAT to use cache mode translation tables" Reported-and-tested-by: Jongman Heo <jongman.heo@samsung.com> Acked-by: Alok N Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1421039745-14335-1-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
