Pull x86 cacheinfo sysfs changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree converts the x86 cacheinfo sysfs code to use the generic
code in drivers/base/cacheinfo.c.
It's not intended to change the sysfs ABI:
'This patch neither alters any existing sysfs entries nor their
formating, however since the generic cacheinfo has switched to
use the device attributes instead of the traditional raw
kobjects, a directory named 'power' along with its standard
attributes are added similar to any other device'"

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There were lots of changes in this development cycle:
- over 100 separate cleanups, restructuring changes, speedups and
fixes in the x86 system call, irq, trap and other entry code, part
of a heroic effort to deobfuscate a decade old spaghetti asm code
and its C code dependencies (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski)
- alternatives code fixes and enhancements (Borislav Petkov)
- simplifications and cleanups to the compat code (Brian Gerst)
- signal handling fixes and new x86 testcases (Andy Lutomirski)
- various other fixes and cleanups
By their nature many of these changes are risky - we tried to test
them well on many different x86 systems (there are no known
regressions), and they are split up finely to help bisection - but
there's still a fair bit of residual risk left so caveat emptor"

user_64bit_mode(regs) basically checks regs->cs to point to a
64-bit segment. This check used to be unreliable here because
regs->cs was not always correct in syscalls.
Now regs->cs is always correct: in syscalls, in interrupts, in
exceptions. No need to emply heuristics here.

After recent changes to syscall entry points,
user_regs->{cs,ss,sp} are always correct. (They used to be
undefined while in syscalls).
We can report them reliably, without guessing.

Fix a bug in the OEM check function that determines if the
system is a UV system and the BIOS is compatible with the
kernel's UV apic driver. This prevents some possibly obscure
panics and guards the system against being started on SGI

Interrupt entry points are handled with the following code,
each 32-byte code block contains seven entry points:
...
[push][jump 22] // 4 bytes
[push][jump 18] // 4 bytes
[push][jump 14] // 4 bytes
[push][jump 10] // 4 bytes
[push][jump 6] // 4 bytes
[push][jump 2] // 4 bytes
[push][jump common_interrupt][padding] // 8 bytes
[push][jump]
[push][jump]
[push][jump]
[push][jump]
[push][jump]
[push][jump]
[push][jump common_interrupt][padding]
[padding_2]
common_interrupt:
And there is a table which holds pointers to every entry point,
IOW: to every push.
In cold cache, two jumps are still costlier than one, even
though we get the benefit of them residing in the same
cacheline.
This change replaces short jumps with near ones to
'common_interrupt', and pads every push+jump pair to 8 bytes. This
way, each interrupt takes only one jump.
This change replaces ".p2align CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT" before
dispatch table with ".align 8" - we do not need anything
stronger than that.
The table of entry addresses (the interrupt[] array) is no
longer necessary, the address of entries can be easily
calculated as (irq_entries_start + i*8).
text data bss dec hex filename
12546 0 0 12546 3102 entry_64.o.before
11626 0 0 11626 2d6a entry_64.o
The size decrease is because 1656 bytes of .init.rodata are
gone. That's initdata, though. The resident size does go up a
bit.
Run-tested (32 and 64 bits).

This change does two things:
Copy-pastes "retint_swapgs:" code into syscall handling code,
the copy is under "syscall_return:" label. The code is unchanged
apart from some label renames.
Removes "opportunistic sysret" code from "retint_swapgs:" code
block, since now it won't be reached by syscall return. This in
fact removes most of the code in question.

Take a look at the first instruction byte before optimizing the NOP -
there might be something else there already, like the ALTERNATIVE_2()
in rdtsc_barrier() which NOPs out on AMD even though we just
patched in an MFENCE.
This happens because the alternatives sees X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC,
AMD CPUs set it, we patch in the MFENCE and right afterwards it sees
X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC which AMD CPUs don't set and we blindly
optimize the NOP.
Checking whether at least the first byte is 0x90 prevents that.

On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can
just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them.
On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these
registers.
On other executable formats:
- binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone
else except sh) doesn't define it.
- binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most
others) doesn't define it.
- There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit
EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable.
This inconsistency was not intended.
This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve,
removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(),
and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve.
Run-tested.

The 'pax' argument is unnecesary. Instead, store the RAX value
directly in regs.
This pattern goes all the way back to 2.1.106pre1, when restore_sigcontext()
was changed to return an error code instead of EAX directly:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/diff/arch/i386/kernel/signal.c?id=9a8f8b7ca3f319bd668298d447bdf32730e51174
In 2007 sigaltstack syscall support was added, where the return
value of restore_sigcontext() was changed to carry the memory-copying
failure code.
But instead of putting 'ax' into regs->ax directly, it was carried
in via a pointer and then returned, where the generic syscall return
code copied it to regs->ax.
So there was never any deeper reason for this suboptimal pattern, it
was simply never noticed after being introduced.

Quentin caught a corner case with the generation of instruction
padding in the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro: if len(orig_insn) <
len(alt1) < len(alt2), then not enough padding gets added and
that is not good(tm) as we could overwrite the beginning of the
next instruction.
Luckily, at the time of this writing, we don't have
ALTERNATIVE_2() invocations which have that problem and even if
we did, a simple fix would be to prepend the instructions with
enough prefixes so that that corner case doesn't happen.
However, best it would be if we fixed it properly. See below for
a simple, abstracted example of what we're doing.
So what we ended up doing is, we compute the
max(len(alt1), len(alt2)) - len(orig_insn)
and feed that value to the .skip gas directive. The max() cannot
have conditionals due to gas limitations, thus the fancy integer
math.
With this patch, all ALTERNATIVE_2 sites get padded correctly;
generating obscure test cases pass too:
#define alt_max_short(a, b) ((a) ^ (((a) ^ (b)) & -(-((a) < (b)))))
#define gen_skip(orig, alt1, alt2, marker) \
.skip -((alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)) > 0) * \
(alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)),marker
.pushsection .text, "ax"
.globl main
main:
gen_skip(1, 2, 4, 0x09)
gen_skip(4, 1, 2, 0x10)
...
.popsection
Thanks to Quentin for catching it and double-checking the fix!

made module base address randomization unconditional and didn't regard
disabled KKASLR due to CONFIG_HIBERNATION and command line option
"nokaslr". For more info see (now reverted) commit:
f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")
In order to propagate KASLR status to kernel proper, we need a single bit
in boot_params.hdr.loadflags and we've chosen bit 1 thus leaving the
top-down allocated bits for bits supposed to be used by the bootloader.

For supporting Intel LBR branches filtering, Intel LBR sharing logic
mechanism is introduced from commit b36817e88630 ("perf/x86: Add Intel
LBR sharing logic"). It modifies __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to
config lbr_sel, which is finally used to set LBR_SELECT.
However, the intel_shared_regs_constraints() function is called after
intel_pebs_constraints(). The PEBS event will return immediately after
intel_pebs_constraints(). So it's impossible to filter branches for PEBS
events.
This patch moves intel_shared_regs_constraints() ahead of
intel_pebs_constraints().
We can safely do that because the intel_shared_regs_constraints() function
only returns empty constraint if its rejecting the event, otherwise it
returns NULL such that we continue calling intel_pebs_constraints() and
x86_get_event_constraint().

Some of x86 bare-metal and Xen CPU initialization code is common
between the two and therefore can be factored out to avoid code
duplication.
As a side effect, doing so will also extend the fix provided by

current_top_of_stack() to x86_32") to 32-bit Xen PV guests.

When I wrote the opportunistic SYSRET code, I missed an important difference
between SYSRET and IRET.
Both instructions are capable of setting EFLAGS.TF, but they behave differently
when doing so:
- IRET will not issue a #DB trap after execution when it sets TF.
This is critical -- otherwise you'd never be able to make forward progress when
returning to userspace.
- SYSRET, on the other hand, will trap with #DB immediately after
returning to CPL3, and the next instruction will never execute.
This breaks anything that opportunistically SYSRETs to a user
context with TF set. For example, running this code with TF set
and a SIGTRAP handler loaded never gets past 'post_nop':
extern unsigned char post_nop[];
asm volatile ("pushfq\n\t"
"popq %%r11\n\t"
"nop\n\t"
"post_nop:"
: : "c" (post_nop) : "r11");
In my defense, I can't find this documented in the AMD or Intel manual.
Fix it by using IRET to restore TF.

The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard (Baytrail-D) hangs randomly in
both BIOS and UEFI mode while rebooting unless reboot=pci is
used. Add a quirk to reboot via the pci method.
The problem is very intermittent and hard to debug, it might succeed
rebooting just fine 40 times in a row - but fails half a dozen times
the next day. It seems to be slightly less common in BIOS CSM mode
than native UEFI (with the CSM disabled), but it does happen in either
mode. Since I've started testing this patch in late january, rebooting
has been 100% reliable.
Most of the time it already hangs during POST, but occasionally it
might even make it through the bootloader and the kernel might even
start booting, but then hangs before the mode switch. The same symptoms
occur with grub-efi, gummiboot and grub-pc, just as well as (at least)
kernel 3.16-3.19 and 4.0-rc6 (I haven't tried older kernels than 3.16).
Upgrading to the most current mainboard firmware of the ASRock
Q1900DC-ITX, version 1.20, does not improve the situation.
( Searching the web seems to suggest that other Bay Trail-D mainboards
might be affected as well. )
