<id>5861381d486601430cccf64849bd0a226154bc0d</id>
<content type='text'>
The current handling of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS in the kernel is
problematic, because it may cause changes made by user space to that
MSR (with the help of the x86_energy_perf_policy tool, for example)
to be lost every time a CPU goes offline and then back online as well
as during system-wide power management transitions into sleep states
and back into the working state.

The first problem is that if the current EPB value for a CPU going
online is 0 ('performance'), the kernel will change it to 6 ('normal')
regardless of whether or not this is the first bring-up of that CPU.
That also happens during system-wide resume from sleep states
(including, but not limited to, hibernation).  However, the EPB may
have been adjusted by user space this way and the kernel should not
blindly override that setting.

The second problem is that if the platform firmware resets the EPB
values for any CPUs during system-wide resume from a sleep state,
the kernel will not restore their previous EPB values that may
have been set by user space before the preceding system-wide
suspend transition.  Again, that behavior may at least be confusing
from the user space perspective.

In order to address these issues, rework the handling of
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS so that the EPB value is saved on CPU
offline and restored on CPU online as well as (for the boot CPU)
during the syscore stages of system-wide suspend and resume
transitions, respectively.

However, retain the policy by which the EPB is set to 6 ('normal')
on the first bring-up of each CPU if its initial value is 0, based
on the observation that 0 may mean 'not initialized' just as well as
'performance' in that case.

While at it, move the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS handling code into
a separate file and document it in Documentation/admin-guide.

<title>x86/cpufeatures: Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf()</title>

<content type='text'>
get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() was added[1] to help KVM rebuild hardware-
defined leafs that are rearranged by Linux to avoid bloating the
x86_capability array. Eventually, the last consumer of the function was
removed[2], but the function itself was kept, perhaps even intentionally
as a form of documentation.

Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() as it is currently not used by KVM.
Furthermore, simply rebuilding the "real" leaf does not resolve all of
KVM's woes when it comes to exposing a scattered CPUID feature, i.e.
keeping the function as documentation may be counter-productive in some
scenarios, e.g. when KVM needs to do more than simply expose the leaf.

<title>x86/cpu: Get cache info and setup cache cpumap for Hygon Dhyana</title>

<content type='text'>
The Hygon Dhyana CPU has a topology extensions bit in CPUID. With
this bit, the kernel can get the cache information. So add support in
cpuid4_cache_lookup_regs() to get the correct cache size.

The Hygon Dhyana CPU also discovers num_cache_leaves via CPUID leaf
0x8000001d, so add support to it in find_num_cache_leaves().

Also add cacheinfo_hygon_init_llc_id() and init_hygon_cacheinfo()
functions to initialize Dhyana cache info. Setup cache cpumap in the
same way as AMD does.

Commit d94a155c59c9 ("x86/cpu: Prevent cpuinfo_x86::x86_phys_bits
adjustment corruption") has moved the query and calculation of the
x86_virt_bits and x86_phys_bits fields of the cpuinfo_x86 struct
from the get_cpu_cap function to a new function named
get_cpu_address_sizes.

One of the call sites related to Xen PV VMs was unfortunately missed
in the aforementioned commit. This prevents successful boot-up of
kernel versions 4.17 and up in Xen PV VMs if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
is enabled, due to the following code path:

  enlighten_pv.c::xen_start_kernel
    mmu_pv.c::xen_reserve_special_pages
      page.h::__pa
        physaddr.c::__phys_addr
          physaddr.h::phys_addr_valid

phys_addr_valid uses boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to validate physical
addresses. boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits is no longer populated before
the call to xen_reserve_special_pages due to the aforementioned commit
though, so the validation performed by phys_addr_valid fails, which
causes __phys_addr to trigger a BUG, preventing boot-up.

the APIC driver is selected, so split out the part which initializes

Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Centaur CPU updates (David Wang)

 - AMD and other CPU topology enumeration improvements and fixes
   (Borislav Petkov, Thomas Gleixner, Suravee Suthikulpanit)

 - Continued 5-level paging work (Kirill A. Shutemov)

* 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/mm: Mark __pgtable_l5_enabled __initdata
  x86/mm: Mark p4d_offset() __always_inline
  x86/mm: Introduce the 'no5lvl' kernel parameter
  x86/mm: Stop pretending pgtable_l5_enabled is a variable
  x86/mm: Unify pgtable_l5_enabled usage in early boot code
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Fix trampoline page table address calculation
  x86/CPU: Move x86_cpuinfo::x86_max_cores assignment to detect_num_cpu_cores()
  x86/Centaur: Report correct CPU/cache topology
  x86/CPU: Move cpu_detect_cache_sizes() into init_intel_cacheinfo()
  x86/CPU: Make intel_num_cpu_cores() generic
  x86/CPU: Move cpu local function declarations to local header
  x86/CPU/AMD: Derive CPU topology from CPUID function 0xB when available
  x86/CPU: Modify detect_extended_topology() to return result
  x86/CPU/AMD: Calculate last level cache ID from number of sharing threads
  x86/CPU: Rename intel_cacheinfo.c to cacheinfo.c
  perf/events/amd/uncore: Fix amd_uncore_llc ID to use pre-defined cpu_llc_id
  x86/CPU/AMD: Have smp_num_siblings and cpu_llc_id always be present
  x86/Centaur: Initialize supported CPU features properly

There is no point in having the conditional cpu_detect_cache_sizes() call
at the callsite of init_intel_cacheinfo().

Move it into init_intel_cacheinfo() and make init_intel_cacheinfo() void.

[ tglx: Made the init_intel_cacheinfo() void as the return value was
  	pointless. Adjust changelog accordingly ]
