+Subject: [PATCH] x86: use default cache size if it cannot be determined [BZ
+ #28784]
+
+In some cases (e.g QEMU, non-Intel/AMD CPU) the cache information can
+not be retrieved and the corresponding values are set to 0.
+
+Commit 2d651eb9265d ("x86: Move x86 processor cache info to
+cpu_features") changed the behaviour in such case by defining the
+__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables to 0 instead
+of using the default values. This cause an issue with the i686 SSE2
+optimized bzero/routine which assumes that the cache size is at least
+128 bytes, and otherwise tries to zero/set the whole address space minus
+128 bytes.
+
+Fix that by restoring the original code to only update
+__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables if the
+corresponding cache sizes are not zero.
+
+Fixes bug 28784
+Fixes commit 2d651eb9265d
