From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.155 commit 87eae0761f4d0f0ebe960b198b3e28af671f03e9 -------------------------------- commit 7cecb47f55e00282f972a1e0b09136c8cd938221 upstream. extlog_init() uses rdmsrl() to read an MSR, which on older CPUs provokes a error message at boot: unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x179 at rIP: 0xcd047307 (native_read_msr+0x7/0x40) Use rdmsrl_safe() instead, and return -ENODEV if it fails.
