x86: oprofile: don't set counter width from cpuid on Core2
Impact: fix stuck NMIs and non-working oprofile on certain CPUs Resetting the counter width of the performance counters on Intel's Core2 CPUs, breaks the delivery of NMIs, when running in x86_64 mode. This should fix bug #12395: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12395 Signed-off-by: Tim Blechmann <tim@klingt.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> LKML-Reference: <20090303100412.GC10085@erda.amd.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
