CPUID(0x80000000).EAX returns the max extended CPUID leaf available. On
x86-32 machines without an extended CPUID range, a CPUID(0x80000000)
query will just repeat the output of the last valid standard CPUID leaf
on the CPU; i.e., a garbage values. Current tip:x86/cpu code protects against
this by doing:
eax = cpuid_eax(0x80000000);
c->extended_cpuid_level = eax;
if ((eax & 0xffff0000) == 0x80000000) {
// CPU has an extended CPUID range. Check for 0x80000001
if (eax >= 0x80000001) {
cpuid(0x80000001, ...);
}
}
This is correct so far. Afterwards though, the same possibly broken EAX
value is used to check the availability of other extended CPUID leaves:
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x80000007)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x80000008)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000000a)
...
if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000001f)
...
which is invalid. Fix this by immediately setting the CPU's max extended
CPUID leaf to zero if CPUID(0x80000000).EAX doesn't indicate a valid
CPUID extended range.
While at it, add a comment, similar to kernel/head_32.S, clarifying the
CPUID(0x80000000) sanity check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
