[PATCH v3 1/4] perf/x86: fix LBR issues on Intel Atom

Show all headers | View raw

This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom.

The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format
LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format
but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer
dereferences in a couple of places.

Fixes: 96f3eda6 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix static checker warning in lbr enable")
