Subject: [RFC PATCH RESEND] x86/cpu: Avoid endless loop to get the number of cache leaves
Date:   Thu, 6 Dec 2018 15:26:13 +0800
Message-ID: <1544081173-25059-1-git-send-email-puwen@hygon.cn>

Precedence: bulk

To get the number of cache leaves on AMD or Hygon platform, it should
get the value of cpuid leaf 0x8000001d. But on certain broken platform
such as a not fullly implemented virtual platform(for example Xen),
the value of the cpuid leaf will nerver be CTYPE_NULL, so the kernel
will run into an endless loop.

To fix this problem, add a new enum type CTYPE_MAX to limit the maximum
cpuid accessing.
