Commit21b5ee59ef("x86/cpu/amd: Enable the fixed Instructions Retired counter IRPERF") mistakenly added erratum #1054 as an OS Visible Workaround (OSVW) ID 0. Erratum #1054 is not OSVW ID 0 [1], so make it a legacy erratum. There would never have been a false positive on older hardware that has OSVW bit 0 set, since the IRPERF feature was not available. However, save a couple of RDMSR executions per thread, on modern system configurations that correctly set non-zero values in their OSVW_ID_Length MSRs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
