8bdbd962ec x86/cpu: Clean up various files a bit
No code changes except printk levels (although some of the K6
mtrr code might be clearer if there were a few as would
splitting out some of the intel cache code).

ff8a4bae45 Revert "x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memory"
This reverts commit 95ee14e437.
Mikael Petterson <mikepe@it.uu.se> reported that at least one of his
systems will not boot as a result.  We have ruled out the detection
algorithm malfunctioning, so it is not a matter of producing the
incorrect bitmasks; rather, something in the application of them
fails.

Revert the commit until we can root cause and correct this problem.

-stable team: this means the underlying commit should be rejected.

dc4c2a0aed i386: fix/simplify espfix stack switching, move it into assembly
The espfix code triggers if we have a protected mode userspace
application with a 16-bit stack. On returning to userspace, with iret,
the CPU doesn't restore the high word of the stack pointer. This is an
"official" bug, and the work-around used in the kernel is to temporarily
switch to a 32-bit stack segment/pointer pair where the high word of the
pointer is equal to the high word of the userspace stackpointer.

The current implementation uses THREAD_SIZE to determine the cut-off,
but there is no good reason not to use the more natural 64kb... However,
implementing this by simply substituting THREAD_SIZE with 65536 in
patch_espfix_desc crashed the test application. patch_espfix_desc tries
to do what is described above, but gets it subtly wrong if the userspace
stack pointer is just below a multiple of THREAD_SIZE: an overflow
occurs to bit 13... With a bit of luck, when the kernelspace
stackpointer is just below a 64kb-boundary, the overflow then ripples
trough to bit 16 and userspace will see its stack pointer changed by
65536.

This patch moves all espfix code into entry_32.S. Selecting a 16-bit
cut-off simplifies the code. The game with changing the limit dynamically
is removed too. It complicates matters and I see no value in it. Changing
only the top 16-bit word of ESP is one instruction and it also implies
that only two bytes of the ESPFIX GDT entry need to be changed and this
can be implemented in just a handful simple to understand instructions.
As a side effect, the operation to compute the original ESP from the
ESPFIX ESP and the GDT entry simplifies a bit too, and the remaining
three instructions have been expanded inline in entry_32.S.

impact: can now reliably run userspace with ESP=xxxxfffc on 16-bit
stack segment

95ee14e437 x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memory
iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of
physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled.  However, x86
CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space.  Thus, we want
to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can
actually address.

Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to
uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources.

30e1e6d1af cpumask: fix CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpu hotunplug crash
Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y

Changeset bc9b83dd1f "cpumask: convert
c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a
bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence
not allocated).

This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out
anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never
be NULL).

In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates
(and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.

60a5317ff0 x86: implement x86_32 stack protector
Impact: stack protector for x86_32

Implement stack protector for x86_32.  GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry.  As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere.  It's defined as a percpu
variable.

x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs.  With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed.  For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions.  We definitely
need something better.

2697fbd5fa x86: load new GDT after setting up boot cpu per-cpu area
Impact: sync 32 and 64-bit code

Merge load_gs_base() into switch_to_new_gdt().  Load the GDT and
per-cpu state for the boot cpu when its new area is set up.

2f2f52bad7 x86: move setup_cpu_local_masks()
Impact: Code movement, no functional change.

Move setup_cpu_local_masks() to kernel/cpu/common.c, where the
masks are defined.

b38b066590 x86: filter CPU features dependent on unavailable CPUID levels
Impact: Fixes potential crashes on misconfigured systems.

Some CPU features require specific CPUID levels to be available in
order to function, as they contain information about the operation of
a specific feature.  However, some BIOSes and virtualization software
provide the ability to mask CPUID levels in order to support legacy
operating systems.  We try to enable such CPUID levels when we know
how to do it, but for the remaining cases, filter out such CPU
features when there is no way for us to support them.

Do this in one place, in the CPUID code, with a table-driven approach.

75a048119e x86: handle PAT more like other CPU features
Impact: Cleanup

When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few
reasons:

- PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a
  whitelist of CPUs.
- The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified.

Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features,
including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs.
