CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.
At previous commits, the mapping tables for such descriptors were merged
into one consolidated table. The mapping was also transformed into a
hash lookup instead of a loop-based lookup for each descriptor.
Use the new consolidated table and its hash-based lookup through the
for_each_leaf_0x2_tlb_entry() accessor.
Remove the TLB-specific mapping, intel_tlb_table[], as it is now no
longer used. Remove the <cpuid/types.h> macro, for_each_leaf_0x2_desc(),
since the converted code was its last user.

CPUID leaf 0x2 describes TLBs and caches. So there are two tables with the
respective descriptor constants in intel.c and cacheinfo.c. The tables
occupy almost 600 byte and require a loop based lookup for each variant.
Combining them into one table occupies exactly 1k rodata and allows to get
rid of the loop based lookup by just using the descriptor byte provided by
CPUID leaf 0x2 as index into the table, which simplifies the code and
reduces text size.
The conversion of the intel.c and cacheinfo.c code is done separately.
[ darwi: Actually define struct leaf_0x2_table.
Tab-align all of cpuid_0x2_table[] mapping entries.
Define needed SZ_* macros at <linux/sizes.h> instead (merged commit.)
Use CACHE_L1_{INST,DATA} as names for L1 cache descriptor types.
Set descriptor 0x63 type as TLB_DATA_1G_2M_4M and explain why.
Use enums for cache and TLB descriptor types (parent commits.)
Start enum types at 1 since type 0 is reserved for unknown descriptors.
Ensure that cache and TLB enum type values do not intersect.
Add leaf 0x2 table accessor for_each_leaf_0x2_entry() + documentation. ]

The leaf 0x2 one-byte TLB descriptor types:
TLB_INST_4K
TLB_INST_4M
TLB_INST_2M_4M
...
are just discriminators to be used within the intel_tlb_table[] mapping.
Their specific values are irrelevant.
Use enums for such types.
Make the enum packed and static assert that its values remain within a
single byte so that the intel_tlb_table[] size do not go out of hand.
Use a __CHECKER__ guard for the static_assert(sizeof(enum) == 1) line as
sparse ignores the __packed annotation on enums.
This is similar to:
fe3944fb245a ("fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file")
for the core SCSI code.

CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.
Two separate tables exist for interpreting these descriptors: one for
TLBs at intel.c and one for caches at cacheinfo.c. These mapping tables
will be merged in further commits, among other improvements to their
model.
In preparation for this, use more descriptive type names for the leaf
0x2 descriptors associated with cpu caches. Namely:
LVL_1_INST => CACHE_L1_INST
LVL_1_DATA => CACHE_L1_DATA
LVL_2 => CACHE_L2
LVL_3 => CACHE_L3
After the TLB and cache descriptors mapping tables are merged, this will
make it clear that such descriptors correspond to cpu caches.

Parent commits decoupled amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs, moved
AMD L3 northbridge cache_disable_0/1 sysfs code to its own file, and
splitted AMD vs. Intel leaf 0x4 handling into:
amd_fill_cpuid4_info()
intel_fill_cpuid4_info()
fill_cpuid4_info()
After doing all that, the "_cpuid4_info_regs" name becomes a mouthful.
It is also not totally accurate, as the structure holds cpuid4 derived
information like cache node ID and size -- not just regs.
Rename struct _cpuid4_info_regs to _cpuid4_info. That new name also
better matches the AMD/Intel leaf 0x4 functions mentioned above.

The CPUID leaf 0x4 parsing code at cpuid4_cache_lookup_regs() is ugly and
convoluted. It is tangled with multiple nested conditions to handle:
* AMD with TOPEXT, or Hygon CPUs via leaf 0x8000001d
* Legacy AMD fallback via leaf 0x4 emulation
* Intel CPUs via the actual CPUID leaf 0x4
Moreover, AMD L3 northbridge initialization is also awkwardly placed
alongside the CPUID calls of the first two scenarios above. Refactor all
of that as follows:
* Update AMD's leaf 0x4 emulation comment to represent current state
* Clearly label the AMD leaf 0x4 emulation function as a fallback
* Split AMD/Hygon and Intel code paths into separate functions
* Move AMD L3 northbridge initialization out of CPUID leaf 0x4 code,
and into populate_cache_leaves() where it belongs. There,
ci_info_init() can directly store the initialized object in the
private pointer of the <linux/cacheinfo.h> API.

Parent commit decoupled amd_northbridge out of _cpuid4_info_regs, where
it was merely "parked" there until ci_info_init() can store it in the
private pointer of the <linux/cacheinfo.h> API.
Given that decoupling, move the AMD-specific L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs
code from the generic (and already extremely convoluted) x86/cacheinfo
code into its own file.
Compile the file only if CONFIG_AMD_NB and CONFIG_SYSFS are both
enabled, which mirrors the existing logic.

'struct _cpuid4_info_regs' is meant to hold the CPUID leaf 0x4
output registers (EAX, EBX, and ECX), as well as derived information
such as the cache node ID and size.
It also contains a reference to amd_northbridge, which is there only to
be "parked" until ci_info_init() can store it in the priv pointer of the
<linux/cacheinfo.h> API. That priv pointer is then used by AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs attributes.
Decouple amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs and pass it explicitly
through the functions at x86/cacheinfo. Doing so clarifies when
amd_northbridge is actually needed (AMD-only code) and when it is
not (Intel-specific code). It also prepares for moving the AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs code into its own file in next commit.

While gathering CPU cache info, CPUID leaf 0x8000001d is invoked in two
separate if blocks: one for Hygon CPUs and one for AMDs with topology
extensions. After each invocation, amd_init_l3_cache() is called.
Merge the two if blocks into a single condition, thus removing the
duplicated code. Future commits will expand these if blocks, so
combining them now is both cleaner and more maintainable.
Note, while at it, remove a useless "better error?" comment that was
within the same function since the 2005 commit e2cac78935ff ("[PATCH]
x86_64: When running cpuid4 need to run on the correct CPU").
Note, as previously done at commit aec28d852ed2 ("x86/cpuid: Standardize

The cacheinfo code frequently uses the output registers from CPUID leaf
0x4. Such registers are cached in 'struct _cpuid4_info_regs', augmented
with related information, and are then passed across functions.
The naming of these _cpuid4_info_regs instances is confusing at best.
Some instances are called "this_leaf", which is vague as "this" lacks
context and "leaf" is overly generic given that other CPUID leaves are
also processed within cacheinfo. Other _cpuid4_info_regs instances are
just called "base", adding further ambiguity.
Standardize on id4 for all instances.

The cacheinfo structure defined at <include/linux/cacheinfo.h> is a
generic cache info object representation.
Calling its instances at x86 cacheinfo.c "leaf" confuses it with a CPUID
leaf -- especially that multiple CPUID calls are already sprinkled across
that file. Most of such instances also have a redundant "this_" prefix.
Rename all of the cacheinfo "this_leaf" instances to just "ci".

Update kcpuid's CSV file to version 2.3, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.
Summary of the v2.3 changes:
* Per H. Peter Anvin's feedback, leaf 0x3 is not unique to Transmeta as
the CSV file earlier claimed. Since leaf 0x3's format differs between
Intel and Transmeta, and the project does not yet support having the
same CPUID bitfield with varying interpretations across vendors, leaf
0x3 is removed for now. Given that Intel discontinued support for PSN
from Pentium 4 onward, and Linux force disables it on early boot for
privacy concerns, this should have minimal impact.
* Leaf 0x80000021: Make bitfield IDs and descriptions coherent with each
other. Remove "_support" from bitfield IDs, as no other leaf has such
convention.

* Add a 0x prefix for leaves 0x0 to 0x9. This maintains consistency with
the rest of the CSV entries.
* Add the new bitfields:
- Leaf 0x7: nmi_src, NMI-source reporting
- Leaf 0x80000001: e_base_type and e_mmx (Transmeta)
* Update the section headers for leaves 0x80000000 and 0x80000005 to
indicate that they are also valid for Transmeta.
Notes:
Leaf 0x3, being not unique to Transmeta, is handled at the generated
CSV file v2.3 update, later in this patch queue.
Leaf 0x80000001 EDX:23 bit, e_mmx, is also available on AMD. A bugfix
is already merged at x86-cpuid-db's -tip for that, and it will be part
of the project's upcoming v2.4 release.:

Explicitly define the CPUID index ranges for Transmeta (0x80860000) and
Centaur/Zhaoxin (0xc0000000).
Without these explicit definitions, their respective CPUID indices would
be skipped during CSV bitfield parsing.

Next commits will introduce vendor-specific CPUID ranges like Transmeta's
0x8086000 range and Centaur's 0xc0000000.
Initially explicit vendor detection was implemented, but it turned out to
be not strictly necessary. As Dave Hansen noted, even established tools
like cpuid(1) just tries all ranges indices, and see if the CPU responds
back with something sensible.
Do something similar at setup_cpuid_range(). Query the range's index,
and check the maximum range function value returned. If it's within an
expected interval of [range_index, range_index + MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET],
accept the range as valid and further query its leaves.
Set MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET to a heuristic of 0xff. That should be
sensible enough since all the ranges covered by x86-cpuid-db XML database
are:
0x00000000 0x00000023
0x40000000 0x40000000
0x80000000 0x80000026
0x80860000 0x80860007
0xc0000000 0xc0000001
At setup_cpuid_range(), if the range's returned maximum function was not
sane, mark it as invalid by setting its number of leaves, range->nr, to
zero.
Introduce the for_each_valid_cpuid_range() iterator instead of sprinkling
"range->nr != 0" checks throughout the code.

Let index_to_cpuid_range() return a CPUID range only if the passed index
is within a CPUID range's maximum supported function on the CPU.
Returning a CPUID range that is invalid on the CPU for the passed index
does not make sense.
This also avoids repeating the "function index is within CPUID range"
checks, both at setup_cpuid_range() and index_to_func().

Extend the CPUID index mask macro from 0x80000000 to 0xffff0000. This
accommodates the Transmeta (0x80860000) and Centaur (0xc0000000) index
ranges which will be later added.
This also automatically sets CPUID_FUNCTION_MASK to 0x0000ffff, which is
the actual correct value. Use that macro, instead of the 0xffff literal
where appropriate.

The kcpuid code assumes only two CPUID index ranges, standard (0x0...)
and extended (0x80000000...).
Since additional CPUID index ranges will be added in further commits,
replace the "is_ext" boolean with enumeration-based range classification.
Collect all CPUID ranges in a structured array and introduce helper
macros to iterate over it. Use such helpers throughout the code.

Use the __cpuid_count() intrinsic, provided by GCC and LLVM, instead of
rolling a manual version. Both of the kernel's minimum required GCC
version (5.1) and LLVM version (13.0.1) supports it, and it is heavily
used across standard Linux user-space tooling.
This also makes the CPUID call sites more readable.

Since commit e8c07082a810 ("Kbuild: move to -std=gnu11") and the kernel
allows C99-style variable declarations inside of a for() loop.
Adjust the kcpuid code accordingly.
Note, this helps readability as some of the kcpuid functions have a huge
list of variable declarations on top.
Note, remove the empty lines before cpuid() invocations as it is clearer
to have their parameter initialization and the actual call in one block.

kcpuid --all --detail claims that all bits belong to ECX, in the form
of the header CPUID_${leaf}_ECX[${subleaf}].
Print the correct register name for all CPUID output.
kcpuid --detail also dumps the raw register value if a leaf/subleaf is
covered in the CSV file, but a certain output register within it is not
covered by any CSV entry. Since register names are now properly printed,
and since the CSV file has become exhaustive using x86-cpuid-db, remove
that value dump as it pollutes the output.
While at it, rename decode_bits() to show_reg(). This makes it match its
show_range(), show_leaf() and show_reg_header() counterparts.

For each CPUID leaf/subleaf query, save the output in an output[] array
instead of spelling it out using EAX to EDX variables.
This allows the CPUID output to be accessed programmatically instead of
calling decode_bits() four times. Loop-based access also allows "kcpuid
--detail" to print the correct output register names in next commit.

If the user passed an invalid CPUID index value through --leaf=index,
kcpuid prints a warning, does nothing, then exits successfully.
Transform the warning to an error, and exit the program with a proper
error code.
Similarly, if the user passed an invalid subleaf, kcpuid prints a
warning, dumps the whole leaf, then exits successfully. Print a clear
error message regarding the invalid subleaf and exit the program with the
proper error code.
Note, moving the "Invalid input index" message from index_to_func() to
show_info() localizes error message handling to the latter, where it
should be. It also allows index_to_func() to be refactored at further
commits.
Note, since after this commit and its parent kcpuid does not just "move
on" on failures, remove the NULL parameter check plus silent exit at
show_func() and show_leaf().

Error handling in kcpuid is unreliable. On malloc() failures, the code
prints an error then just goes on. The error messages are also printed
to standard output instead of standard error.
Use err() and errx() from <err.h> to direct all error messages to
standard error and automatically exit the program. Use err() to include
the errno information, and errx() otherwise. Use warnx() for warnings.
While at it, alphabetically reorder the header includes.

We've had this before: when we remove infrastructure to generate files,
the old stale build artifacts still remain in-tree. And when the
infrastructure to generate them is gone, so is the gitignore file for
those build artifacts.
End result: git will see the old generated files, and people will
mistakenly commit them. That's what happened with the 'genheaders' file
not that long ago (see commit 04a3389b3535 "Remove stale generated
'genheaders' file").
This time it's commit 9c54baab4401 ("x86/boot: Drop CRC-32 checksum and
the build tool that generates it") that removed the 'build' file from
the arch/x86/boot/tools/ subdirectory, and removed the .gitignore file
too (because the whole subdirectory is gone).
And as a result, if you don't do a 'git clean -dqfx' or similar to clean
up your tree, 'git status' will say
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
arch/x86/boot/tools/
and some hapless sleep-deprived developer will inevitably decide that
that means that they need to 'git add' that directory. Which would
bring back some stale generated file that we most definitely do not want
in the tree.
So when removing directories that had special .gitignore patterns, make
sure to add a new gitignore entry in the parent directory for the no
longer existing subdirectory.
It will avoid mistakes.
