From 88ba281108ed0c25c9d292b48bd3f272fcb90dd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:42:02 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests. In order to enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel() to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before starting guest kernel. Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code is no longer necessary. Delete it from xen_start_kernel(). Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.
