lguest: use a special 1:1 linear pagetable mode until first switch.

The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was. In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.

However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump. So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.

This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET. (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gas

gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.

Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).

lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.

The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.

The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.

Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The
lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

update boot spec to 2.07

Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes:

load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads
hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under
hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data

The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized
kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.

paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_ops

This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:

pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables

There are several motivations for this:

1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff
while allowing separate implementations where needed.

2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case
basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).

3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.

Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.

Merge tag 'x86-entry-2020-03-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

- Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant

- The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
progress and aimed for 5.8.

- A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.
