Pull x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

- Turn the stack canary into a normal __percpu variable on 32-bit which
gets rid of the LAZY_GS stuff and a lot of code.

- Add an insn_decode() API which all users of the instruction decoder
should preferrably use. Its goal is to keep the details of the
instruction decoder away from its users and simplify and streamline
how one decodes insns in the kernel. Convert its users to it.

- kprobes improvements and fixes

- Set the maximum DIE per package variable on Hygon

- Rip out the dynamic NOP selection and simplify all the machinery
around selecting NOPs. Use the simplified NOPs in objtool now too.

- Add Xeon Sapphire Rapids to list of CPUs that support PPIN

- Simplify the retpolines by folding the entire thing into an
alternative now that objtool can handle alternatives with stack ops.
Then, have objtool rewrite the call to the retpoline with the
alternative which then will get patched at boot time.

- Document Intel uarch per models in intel-family.h

- Make Sub-NUMA Clustering topology the default and Cluster-on-Die the
exception on Intel.

"First big cleanup to the paravirt infra to use alternatives and thus

For that, the alternatives infrastructure is extended to accomodate

x86/alternatives: Optimize optimize_nops()

NOPs. However, the emit pattern is:

141: \oldinstr
142: .skip (len-(142b-141b))

x86/alternatives: Optimize optimize_nops()

Currently, optimize_nops() scans to see if the alternative starts with
NOPs. However, the emit pattern is:

141: \oldinstr
142: .skip (len-(142b-141b)), 0x90

That is, when 'oldinstr' is short, the tail is padded with NOPs. This case
never gets optimized.

Rewrite optimize_nops() to replace any trailing string of NOPs inside
the alternative to larger NOPs. Also run it irrespective of patching,
replacing NOPs in both the original and replaced code.

A direct consequence is that 'padlen' becomes superfluous, so remove it.

[ bp:
- Adjust commit message
- remove a stale comment about needing to pad
- add a comment in optimize_nops()
- exit early if the NOP verif. loop catches a mismatch - function
should not not add NOPs in that case
- fix the "optimized NOPs" offsets output ]

x86/alternative: Support not-feature

Add support for alternative patching for the case a feature is not
present on the current CPU. For users of ALTERNATIVE() and friends, an
inverted feature is specified by applying the ALT_NOT() macro to it,
e.g.:

ALTERNATIVE(old, new, ALT_NOT(feature));

Committer note:

The decision to encode the NOT-bit in the feature bit itself is because
a future change which would make objtool generate such alternative
calls, would keep the code in objtool itself fairly simple.

Also, this allows for the alternative macros to support the NOT feature
without having to change them.

Finally, the u16 cpuid member encoding the X86_FEATURE_ flags is not an
ABI so if more bits are needed, cpuid itself can be enlarged or a flags
field can be added to struct alt_instr after having considered the size
growth in either cases.

Merge tag 'compiler-attributes-for-linus-v5.4' of git://github.com/ojeda/linux

Pull asm inline support from Miguel Ojeda:
"Make use of gcc 9's "asm inline()" (Rasmus Villemoes):

gcc 9+ (and gcc 8.3, 7.5) provides a way to override the otherwise
crude heuristic that gcc uses to estimate the size of the code
represented by an asm() statement. From the gcc docs

If you use 'asm inline' instead of just 'asm', then for inlining
purposes the size of the asm is taken as the minimum size, ignoring
how many instructions GCC thinks it is.

For compatibility with older compilers, we obviously want a

#if [understands asm inline]
#define asm_inline asm inline
#else
#define asm_inline asm
#endif

But since we #define the identifier inline to attach some attributes,
we have to use an alternate spelling of that keyword. gcc provides
both __inline__ and __inline, and we currently #define both to inline,
so they all have the same semantics.

We have to free up one of __inline__ and __inline, and the latter is
by far the easiest.

The two x86 changes cause smaller code gen differences than I'd
expect, but I think we do want the asm_inline thing available sooner
or later, so this is just to get the ball rolling"

x86: alternative.h: use asm_inline for all alternative variants

Most, if not all, uses of the alternative* family just provide one or
two instructions in .text, but the string literal can be quite large,
causing gcc to overestimate the size of the generated code. That in
turn affects its decisions about inlining of the function containing
the alternative() asm statement.

New enough versions of gcc allow one to overrule the estimated size by
using "asm inline" instead of just "asm". So replace asm by the helper
asm_inline, which for older gccs just expands to asm.
