x86: clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h
Inspired by Linux commit
c49a0a80137c7ca7d6ced4c812c9e07a949f6f24:
There have been reports of RDRAND issues after resuming from suspend on
some AMD family 15h and family 16h systems. This issue stems from a BIOS
not performing the proper steps during resume to ensure RDRAND continues
to function properly.
Update the CPU initialization to clear the RDRAND CPUID bit for any family
15h and 16h processor that supports RDRAND. If it is known that the family
15h or family 16h system does not have an RDRAND resume issue or that the
system will not be placed in suspend, the "cpuid=rdrand" kernel parameter
can be used to stop the clearing of the RDRAND CPUID bit.
Note, that clearing the RDRAND CPUID bit does not prevent a processor
that normally supports the RDRAND instruction from executing it. So any
code that determined the support based on family and model won't #UD.
Warn if no explicit choice was given on affected hardware.
Check RDRAND functions at boot as well as after S3 resume (the retry
limit chosen is entirely arbitrary).
