<title>x86: make get_cpu_vendor() accessible from Xen code</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to be able to differentiate between AMD and Intel based
systems for very early hypercalls without having to rely on the Xen
hypercall page, make get_cpu_vendor() non-static.

Refactor early_cpu_init() for the same reason by splitting out the
loop initializing cpu_devs() into an externally callable function.

This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

On x86, topology_core_id() returns a unique core ID within the PKG
domain. Looking at match_smt() suggests that a core ID just needs to be
unique within a LLC domain. For use cases such as the core RAPL PMU,
there exists a need for a unique core ID across the entire system with
multiple PKG domains. Introduce topology_logical_core_id() to derive a
unique core ID across the system.

<title>x86/cpu: Add CPU type to struct cpuinfo_topology</title>

Sometimes it is required to take actions based on if a CPU is a performance or
efficiency core. As an example, intel_pstate driver uses the Intel core-type
to determine CPU scaling. Also, some CPU vulnerabilities only affect
a specific CPU type, like RFDS only affects Intel Atom. Hybrid systems that
have variants P+E, P-only(Core) and E-only(Atom), it is not straightforward to
identify which variant is affected by a type specific vulnerability.

Such processors do have CPUID field that can uniquely identify them. Like,
P+E, P-only and E-only enumerates CPUID.1A.CORE_TYPE identification, while P+E
additionally enumerates CPUID.7.HYBRID. Based on this information, it is
possible for boot CPU to identify if a system has mixed CPU types.

Add a new field hw_cpu_type to struct cpuinfo_topology that stores the
hardware specific CPU type. This saves the overhead of IPIs to get the CPU
type of a different CPU. CPU type is populated early in the boot process,
before vulnerabilities are enumerated.

Pull x86 FRED updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() because at that point the
   early IDT fault handler is replaced by the real fault handler. The
   real fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the stack
   frame and not from CR2 when the FRED feature is set. But that
   obviously only works when FRED is enabled in the CPU as well.

 - Set SS to __KERNEL_DS when enabling FRED to prevent a corner case
   where ERETS can observe a SS mismatch and raises a #GP.

The function name is ambiguous because it returns an intermediate value
for calculating maximum frequency rather than the CPPC 'Highest Perf'
register.

Rename the function to clarify its use and allow the function to return
errors. Adjust the consumer in acpi-cpufreq to catch errors.

On 64-bit init_mem_mapping() relies on the minimal page fault handler
provided by the early IDT mechanism. The real page fault handler is
installed right afterwards into the IDT.

This is problematic on CPUs which have X86_FEATURE_FRED set because the
real page fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the FRED
exception stack frame and not from CR2, but that does obviously not work
when FRED is not yet enabled in the CPU.

To prevent this enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() without
interrupt stacks. Those are enabled later in trap_init() after the CPU
entry area is set up.

The routine is used on syscall exit and on non-AMD CPUs is guaranteed to
be empty.

It probably does not need to be a function call even on CPUs which do need the
mitigation.

  [ bp: Make sure it is always inlined so that noinstr marking works. ]

Pull x86 cpu updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Rework the x86 CPU vendor/family/model code: introduce the 'VFM'
   value that is an 8+8+8 bit concatenation of the vendor/family/model
   value, and add macros that work on VFM values. This simplifies the
   addition of new Intel models &amp; families, and simplifies existing
   enumeration &amp; quirk code.

 - Add support for the AMD 0x80000026 leaf, to better parse topology
   information

 - Optimize the NUMA allocation layout of more per-CPU data structures

 - Improve the workaround for AMD erratum 1386

 - Clear TME from /proc/cpuinfo as well, when disabled by the firmware

 - Improve x86 self-tests

 - Extend the mce_record tracepoint with the ::ppin and ::microcode fields

 - Implement recovery for MCE errors in TDX/SEAM non-root mode

 - Misc cleanups and fixes
