78a81d88f6 x86/sev-es: Introduce ip_within_syscall_gap() helper
Introduce a helper to check whether an exception came from the syscall
gap and use it in the SEV-ES code. Extend the check to also cover the
compatibility SYSCALL entry path.

a13644f3a5 x86/entry/64: Add entry code for #VC handler
The #VC handler needs special entry code because:

	1. It runs on an IST stack

	2. It needs to be able to handle nested #VC exceptions

To make this work, the entry code is implemented to pretend it doesn't
use an IST stack. When entered from user-mode or early SYSCALL entry
path it switches to the task stack. If entered from kernel-mode it tries
to switch back to the previous stack in the IRET frame.

The stack found in the IRET frame is validated first, and if it is not
safe to use it for the #VC handler, the code will switch to a
fall-back stack (the #VC2 IST stack). From there, it can cause nested
exceptions again.

a13f2ef168 x86/xen: remove 32-bit Xen PV guest support
Xen is requiring 64-bit machines today and since Xen 4.14 it can be
built without 32-bit PV guest support. There is no need to carry the
burden of 32-bit PV guest support in the kernel any longer, as new
guests can be either HVM or PVH, or they can use a 64 bit kernel.

Remove the 32-bit Xen PV support from the kernel.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

5878d5d6fd x86/xen: Get rid of paravirt op adjust_exception_frame
When running as Xen pv-guest the exception frame on the stack contains
%r11 and %rcx additional to the other data pushed by the processor.

Instead of having a paravirt op being called for each exception type
prepend the Xen specific code to each exception entry. When running as
Xen pv-guest just use the exception entry with prepended instructions,
otherwise use the entry without the Xen specific code.

f2b375756c x86/entry: Vastly simplify SYSENTER TF (single-step) handling
Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step).

As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step
through the kernel until something clears TF.  There is absolutely
nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1].

Simplify the handling considerably with two changes:

  1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC.  We can
     add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever.

  2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue.

That's all we need to do.

Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit
kernels.  There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but
the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first
instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite
correctly.  The next two patches will fix that.

[1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and
    making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER
    code.  Needless to say, this is a bad idea.

b2502b418e x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'system_call' into two entry points: entry_SYSCALL_64 and entry_INT80_32
The 'system_call' entry points differ starkly between native 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels: on 32-bit kernels it defines the INT 0x80 entry point, while on
64-bit it's the SYSCALL entry point.

This is pretty confusing when looking at generic code, and it also obscures
the nature of the entry point at the assembly level.

So unangle this by splitting the name into its two uses:

	system_call (32) -> entry_INT80_32
	system_call (64) -> entry_SYSCALL_64

As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:

	entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier

where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.

cfda7bb9ec x86, vdso: Move syscall and sysenter setup into kernel/cpu/common.c
This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking
related to the 32-bit vdso.  It's easier to understand how this
works when the code is closer to its callers.

This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some
trivial amount of kernel text.

ac630dd98a x86-64: don't set the early IDT to point directly to 'early_idt_handler'

make sure to set up the error vector number.  This is true regardless of
whether CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is set or not.

Why? The stack offset for the comparison of __KERNEL_CS won't be right
otherwise, nor will the new check (from commit 8170e6bed4: "x86,

5bd085b5fb x86: remove "extern" from function prototypes in <asm/proto.h>
Function prototypes don't need "extern", and it is generally frowned
upon to have them.

4b0f3b81eb x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot
It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
so NX status should be reported.  Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
provides feedback for that case as well.

4763ed4d45 x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement
The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
the available of NX.

This patch:

a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
   into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
   to the head code.

b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
   test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
   and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

43644679a1 x86: fix power-of-2 round_up/round_down macros
These macros had two bugs:
 - the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of
   the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits
   when mixing types.
 - the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking
   like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since
   it works on arbitrary integer types)

Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his
suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).

f095df0a0c x86/Voyager: remove X86_BIOS_REBOOT Kconfig quirk
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk:

config X86_BIOS_REBOOT
	bool
	depends on !X86_VOYAGER
	default y

Voyager should use the existing machine_ops.emergency_restart reboot
quirk mechanism instead of a build-time quirk.

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
