    x86/mm/pat: Don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it · f6d5ffaf
    Mikulas Patocka authored
    commit 99c13b8c upstream.
    
    The pat_enabled() logic is broken on CPUs which do not support PAT and
    where the initialization code fails to call pat_init(). Due to that the
    enabled flag stays true and pat_enabled() returns true wrongfully.
    
    As a consequence the mappings, e.g. for Xorg, are set up with the wrong
    caching mode and the required MTRR setups are omitted.
    
    To cure this the following changes are required:
    
      1) Make pat_enabled() return true only if PAT initialization was
         invoked and successful.
    
      2) Invoke init_cache_modes() unconditionally in setup_arch() and
         remove the extra callsites in pat_disable() and the pat disabled
         code path in pat_init().
    
    Also rename __pat_enabled to pat_disabled to reflect the real purpose of
    this variable.
