Subject: lguest: restrict CPUID to avoid perf counter wrmsr
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a5049205f7265620c48781814155f2763e70abb;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

lguest: restrict CPUID to avoid perf counter wrmsr

Avoid the following:
[    0.012093] WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:249 native_apic_write_dummy+0x2f/0x40()

Rather than chase each new cpuid-detected feature, just lie about the highest
valid CPUID so this code is never run.
