4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stephane Eranian <[email protected]> commit 6fc2e83077b05a061afe9b24f2fdff7a0434eb67 upstream. This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom. The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer dereferences in a couple of places.
