A relatively large set of fixes here, the biggest piece of it is a

cards but there's a bunch of other things. Everything here is driver

handling volume controls.

Merge branch 'linus' into x86/boot, to resolve conflict

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:

38b334fc767e Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

1c811d403afd x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:

2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree

But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.

So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

Merge tag 'x86-fred-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.

2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.

3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.

5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.

7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.

2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.

5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.

The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.

7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.

The series implements the initial FRED support by:

- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information

- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events

- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"
