From 8d330919927ea31fa083b5a80084dc991da813a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:06:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf, x86, Pentium4: Clear the P4_CCCR_FORCE_OVF flag If on Pentium4 CPUs the FORCE_OVF flag is set then an NMI happens on every event, which can generate a flood of NMIs. Clear it.
