Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar: "Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit | | c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C") | | dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way | that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C | code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided | to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a | bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and | right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables) | without crashing. | | This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP | startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and | grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special | annotations or helpers to access global objects.
This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86 boot code reorganization.
Scalability enhancements and micro-optimizations:
- Improve code-patching scalability (Eric Dumazet)
- Remove MFENCEs for X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR (Andrew Cooper)
CPU features enumeration updates:
- Thorough reorganization and cleanup of CPUID parsing APIs (Ahmed S. Darwish)
- Fix, refactor and clean up the cacheinfo code (Ahmed S. Darwish, Thomas Gleixner)
- Update CPUID bitfields to x86-cpuid-db v2.3 (Ahmed S. Darwish)
Memory management changes:
- Allow temporary MMs when IRQs are on (Andy Lutomirski)
- Opt-in to IRQs-off activate_mm() (Andy Lutomirski)
- Simplify choose_new_asid() and generate better code (Borislav Petkov)
- Simplify 32-bit PAE page table handling (Dave Hansen)
- Always use dynamic memory layout (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only memory model (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Make 5-level paging support unconditional (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Stop prefetching current->mm->mmap_lock on page faults (Mateusz Guzik)
- Predict valid_user_address() returning true (Mateusz Guzik)
- Consolidate initmem_init() (Mike Rapoport)
FPU support and vector computing:
- Enable Intel APX support (Chang S. Bae)
- Reorgnize and clean up the xstate code (Chang S. Bae)
- Make task_struct::thread constant size (Ingo Molnar)
- Restore fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() to fix CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y (Kees Cook)
- Simplify the switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish() logic (Oleg Nesterov)
- Always preserve non-user xfeatures/flags in __state_perm (Sean Christopherson)
Microcode loader changes:
- Help users notice when running old Intel microcode (Dave Hansen)
- AMD: Do not return error when microcode update is not necessary (Annie Li)
- AMD: Clean the cache if update did not load microcode (Boris Ostrovsky)
Code patching (alternatives) changes:
- Simplify, reorganize and clean up the x86 text-patching code (Ingo Molnar)
- Make smp_text_poke_batch_process() subsume smp_text_poke_batch_finish() (Nikolay Borisov)
- Refactor the {,un}use_temporary_mm() code (Peter Zijlstra)
Debugging support:
- Add early IDT and GDT loading to debug relocate_kernel() bugs (David Woodhouse)
- Print the reason for the last reset on modern AMD CPUs (Yazen Ghannam)
- Add AMD Zen debugging document (Mario Limonciello)
- Fix opcode map (!REX2) superscript tags (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Stop decoding i64 instructions in x86-64 mode at opcode (Masami Hiramatsu)
CPU bugs and bug mitigations:
- Remove X86_BUG_MMIO_UNKNOWN (Borislav Petkov)
- Fix SRSO reporting on Zen1/2 with SMT disabled (Borislav Petkov)
- Restructure and harmonize the various CPU bug mitigation methods (David Kaplan)
- Fix spectre_v2 mitigation default on Intel (Pawan Gupta)
MSR API:
- Large MSR code and API cleanup (Xin Li)
- In-kernel MSR API type cleanups and renames (Ingo Molnar)
PKEYS:
- Simplify PKRU update in signal frame (Chang S. Bae)
NMI handling code:
- Clean up, refactor and simplify the NMI handling code (Sohil Mehta)
- Improve NMI duration console printouts (Sohil Mehta)
Paravirt guests interface:
- Restrict PARAVIRT_XXL to 64-bit only (Kirill A. Shutemov)
SEV support:
- Share the sev_secrets_pa value again (Tom Lendacky)
x86 platform changes:
- Introduce the <asm/amd/> header namespace (Ingo Molnar)
- i2c: piix4, x86/platform: Move the SB800 PIIX4 FCH definitions to <asm/amd/fch.h> (Mario Limonciello)
Fixes and cleanups:

x86/idle: Remove CONFIG_AS_TPAUSE
There is not much point in CONFIG_AS_TPAUSE at all when the emitted assembly is always the same - it only obfuscates the __tpause() code in essence.
Remove the TPAUSE insn mnemonic from __tpause() and leave only the equivalent byte-wise definition. This can then be changed back to insn mnemonic once binutils 2.31.1 is the minimum version to build the kernel. (Right now it's 2.25.)
