    x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks · 50542251
    Borislav Petkov authored
    The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
    cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
    like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
    enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
    http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.
    
    This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
    msr structs which are used on the respective cores.
    
    Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
    the callers of the MSR accessors.
