[ 06/69] x86/uv: Fix UV2 BAU legacy mode

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 platform uv hpe superdome flex · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Steve Wahl

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cliff Wickman <redacted>

commit d5d2d2eea84b0d8450b082edbc3dbde41fb8bfd8 upstream.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.

But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.
