x86: Make the GDT remapping read-only on 64-bit

This patch makes the GDT remapped pages read-only, to prevent accidental
(or intentional) corruption of this key data structure.

This change is done only on 64-bit, because 32-bit needs it to be writable
for TSS switches.

The native_load_tr_desc function was adapted to correctly handle a
read-only GDT. The LTR instruction always writes to the GDT TSS entry.
This generates a page fault if the GDT is read-only. This change checks
if the current GDT is a remap and swap GDTs as needed. This function was
tested by booting multiple machines and checking hibernation works
properly.

KVM SVM and VMX were adapted to use the writeable GDT. On VMX, the
per-cpu variable was removed for functions to fetch the original GDT.
Instead of reloading the previous GDT, VMX will reload the fixmap GDT as
expected. For testing, VMs were started and restored on multiple
configurations.

x86: Remap GDT tables in the fixmap section

Each processor holds a GDT in its per-cpu structure. The sgdt
instruction gives the base address of the current GDT. This address can
be used to bypass KASLR memory randomization. With another bug, an
attacker could target other per-cpu structures or deduce the base of
the main memory section (PAGE_OFFSET).

This patch relocates the GDT table for each processor inside the
fixmap section. The space is reserved based on number of supported
processors.

For consistency, the remapping is done by default on 32 and 64-bit.

Each processor switches to its remapped GDT at the end of
initialization. For hibernation, the main processor returns with the
original GDT and switches back to the remapping at completion.

This patch was tested on both architectures. Hibernation and KVM were
both tested specially for their usage of the GDT.

Thanks to Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> for testing and
recommending changes for Xen support.

x86/mm: Add task_size parameter to mmap_base()

To correctly handle 32-bit and 64-bit mmap() syscalls in 64bit applications
its required to have separate address bases to place a mapping.

The tasksize can be used as an indicator to select the proper parameters
for mmap_base().

This requires the following changes:

- Add task_size argument to mmap_base() and make the calculation based on it.
- Provide mmap_legacy_base() as a seperate function
- Use the new functions in arch_pick_mmap_layout()

x86/cpu: Drop wp_works_ok member of struct cpuinfo_x86

Remove the wp_works_ok member of struct cpuinfo_x86. It's an
optimization back from Linux v0.99 times where we had no fixup support
yet and did the CR0.WP test via special code in the page fault handler.
The < 0 test was an optimization to not do the special casing for each
NULL ptr access violation but just for the first one doing the WP test.
Today it serves no real purpose as the test no longer needs special code
in the page fault handler and the only call side -- mem_init() -- calls
it just once, anyway. However, Xen pre-initializes it to 1, to skip the
test.

Doing the test again for Xen should be no issue at all, as even the
commit introducing skipping the test (commit d560bc61575e ("x86, xen:
Suppress WP test on Xen")) mentioned it being ban aid only. And, in
fact, testing the patch on Xen showed nothing breaks.

The pre-fixup times are long gone and with the removal of the fallback
handling code in commit a5c2a893dbd4 ("x86, 386 removal: Remove
CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK") the kernel requires a working CR0.WP anyway.
So just get rid of the "optimization" and do the test unconditionally.

x86/asm/64: Drop __cacheline_aligned from struct x86_hw_tss

Historically, the entire TSS + io bitmap structure was cacheline
aligned, but commit ca241c75037b ("x86: unify tss_struct") changed it
(presumably inadvertently) so that the fixed-layout hardware part is
cacheline-aligned and the io bitmap is after the padding. This wastes
24 bytes (the hardware part should be 104 bytes, but this pads it to
128 bytes) and, serves no purpose, and causes sizeof(struct
x86_hw_tss) to have a confusing value.

Drop the pointless alignment.

x86/CPU/AMD: Bring back Compute Unit ID

Commit:

a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.

Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.

That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.

When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

Aside from being excessively slow, CPUID is problematic: Linux runs
on a handful of CPUs that don't have CPUID. Use IRET-to-self
instead. IRET-to-self works everywhere, so it makes testing easy.

For reference, On my laptop, IRET-to-self is ~110ns,
CPUID(eax=1, ecx=0) is ~83ns on native and very very slow under KVM,
and MOV-to-CR2 is ~42ns.

While we're at it: sync_core() serves a very specific purpose.
Document it.

Reorganize the E400 detection now that we have everything in place:
switch the CPUs to broadcast mode after the LAPIC has been initialized
and remove the facilities that were used previously on the idle path.

Unfortunately static_cpu_has_bug() cannpt be used in the E400 idle routine
because alternatives have been applied when the actual detection happens,
so the static switching does not take effect and the test will stay
false. Use boot_cpu_has_bug() instead which is definitely an improvement
over the RDMSR and the cpumask handling.

Sparse populated CPUID leafs are collected in a software provided leaf to
avoid bloat of the x86_capability array, but there is no way to rebuild the
real leafs (e.g. for KVM CPUID enumeration) other than rereading the CPUID
leaf from the CPU. While this is possible it is problematic as it does not
take software disabled features into account. If a feature is disabled on
the host it should not be exposed to a guest either.

Add get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() which rebuilds the leaf from the scattered
cpuid table information and the active CPU features.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on

For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

x86/asm: Move the thread_info::status field to thread_struct

Because sched.h and thread_info.h are a tangled mess, I turned
in_compat_syscall() into a macro. If we had current_thread_struct()
or similar and we could use it from thread_info.h, then this would
be a bit cleaner.

sched/x86: Fix thread_saved_pc()

thread_saved_pc() was using a completely bogus method to get the return
address. Since switch_to() was previously inlined, there was no sane way
to know where on the stack the return address was stored. Now with the
frame of a sleeping thread well defined, this can be implemented correctly.

sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code

Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of
using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the
child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra
test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for
__schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all
registers.

x86/fpu/xstate: Rename 'xstate_size' to 'fpu_kernel_xstate_size', to distinguish it from 'fpu_user_xstate_size'

User space uses standard format xsave area. fpstate in signal frame
should have standard format size.

To explicitly distinguish between xstate size in kernel space and the
one in user space, we rename 'xstate_size' to 'fpu_kernel_xstate_size'.

Cleanup only, no change in functionality.
