Linus Torvalds 5e74df2f8f A set of x86 fixes:
- Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
     5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
     non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.
 
   - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
     memory encryption enabled.
 
   - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
     to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
     comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
     result prevents updating the MSR.
 
   - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration to
     prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology code.
 
   - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a fake
     APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology functions
     work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver code at all.
 
   - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs are
     not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
     code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
     enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.
 
   - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
     copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
     boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
     crashes.
 
   - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
     guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.
 
   - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
     kmemleak false positive
 
   - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for
     setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel.
 
   - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units.
 
   - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig
