Is there any progress with this patch? Will you accept it or do you want

Aside of the unparseable changelog, that patch is mostly duct tape.

1) __pat_enabled should be renamed to pat_disabled, as that is the actual
   purpose of that variable

2) Making the call to init_cache_modes() conditional in setup_arch() is
   pointless. init_cache_modes() has it's own protection against multiple
   invocations.

3) It adds yet another invocation of init_cache_modes() instead of getting
   rid of the ones in pat_disable() and the pat disabled case in pat_init().

I've reworked the whole thing into the patch below.

Thanks,

Subject: x86/mm/pat: Don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 18:49:39 -0400 (EDT)

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.

Yes - renaming __pat_enabled to pat_disabled is a good thing.

Just one more change - init_cache_modes() is protected against multiple 
calls, but pat_bsp_init() calls __init_cache_modes() (not 
init_cacha_modes()). The generic code would call init_cache_modes() later 
and init_cache_modes() would do the initialization again - it would be 
mostly harmless because it would just read the pat MSR that pat_bsp_init 
have written and call __init_cache_modes() with the same value - the 
symptom is that on machines with PAT we see this line twice in the syslog:

[    0.000000] x86/PAT: Configuration [0-7]: WB  WC  UC- UC  WB  WC  UC- WT
[    0.000000] x86/PAT: Configuration [0-7]: WB  WC  UC- UC  WB  WC  UC- WT

I fixed this double initialization by moving the variable init_cm_done to 
file scope and setting it in __init_cache_modes().

x86/mm/pat: Don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it

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.

Fixes: 9cd25aac1f44 ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled")
