HLE extensions are hazardous due to erratum HSD136. Users that upgrade their intel-microcode could encounter illegal instruction traps due to microcode updates that blacklist HLE instructions. Glibc uses those instructions and thus we need to be defensive and patch them here. The issue was originally seen here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intel/+bug/1370352 [Test Case] Update to latest intel-microcode with microcode-20140913.dat enabled. Try to boot machine and use applications; check dmesg for trap invalid opcodes in libpthread-2.19.so. [Regression Potential] This has been fixed in vivid, so I'm requesting this patch be backported to T/U.
