Pull x86 MTRR update from Borislav Petkov:

 - Relax the PAT MSR programming which was unnecessarily using the MTRR
   programming protocol of disabling the cache around the changes. The
   reason behind this is the current algorithm triggering a #VE
   exception for TDX guests and unnecessarily complicating things

<id>ffc92cf3db62443c626469ef160f9276f296f6c6</id>
<content type='text'>
The programming protocol for the PAT MSR follows the MTRR programming
protocol. However, this protocol is cumbersome and requires disabling
caching (CR0.CD=1), which is not possible on some platforms.

Specifically, a TDX guest is not allowed to set CR0.CD. It triggers
a #VE exception.

It turns out that the requirement to follow the MTRR programming
protocol for PAT programming is unnecessarily strict. The new Intel
Software Developer Manual (http://www.intel.com/sdm) (December 2023)
relaxes this requirement, please refer to the section titled
"Programming the PAT" for more information.

In short, this section provides an alternative PAT update sequence which
doesn't need to disable caches around the PAT update but only to flush
those caches and TLBs.

The AMD documentation does not link PAT programming to MTRR and is there
fore, fine too.

The kernel only needs to flush the TLB after updating the PAT MSR. The
set_memory code already takes care of flushing the TLB and cache when
changing the memory type of a page.

<title>x86/cpu: Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser</title>

<id>f7fb3b2dd92c633871b7037773b89531c488a371</id>
<content type='text'>
AMD/HYGON uses various methods for topology evaluation:

  - Leaf 0x80000008 and 0x8000001e based with an optional leaf 0xb,
    which is the preferred variant for modern CPUs.

    Leaf 0xb will be superseded by leaf 0x80000026 soon, which is just
    another variant of the Intel 0x1f leaf for whatever reasons.
    
  - Subleaf 0x80000008 and NODEID_MSR base

  - Legacy fallback

That code is following the principle of random bits and pieces all over the
place which results in multiple evaluations and impenetrable code flows in
the same way as the Intel parsing did.

Provide a sane implementation by clearly separating the three variants and
bringing them in the proper preference order in one place.

This provides the parsing for both AMD and HYGON because there is no point
in having a separate HYGON parser which only differs by 3 lines of
code. Any further divergence between AMD and HYGON can be handled in
different functions, while still sharing the existing parsers.

<title>x86/cpu/amd: Provide a separate accessor for Node ID</title>

AMD (ab)uses topology_die_id() to store the Node ID information and
topology_max_dies_per_pkg to store the number of nodes per package.

This collides with the proper processor die level enumeration which is
coming on AMD with CPUID 8000_0026, unless there is a correlation between
the two. There is zero documentation about that.

So provide new storage and new accessors which for now still access die_id
and topology_max_die_per_pkg(). Will be mopped up after AMD and HYGON are
converted over.

The topology IDs which identify the LLC and L2 domains clearly belong to
the per CPU topology information.

Move them into cpuinfo_x86::cpuinfo_topo and get rid of the extra per CPU
data and the related exports.

This also paves the way to do proper topology evaluation during early boot
because it removes the only per CPU dependency for that.

No functional change.

The topology related information is randomly scattered across cpuinfo_x86.

Create a new structure cpuinfo_topo and move in a first step initial_apicid
and apicid into it.

Aside of being better readable this is in preparation for replacing the
horribly fragile CPU topology evaluation code further down the road.

Consolidate APIC ID fields to u32 as that represents the hardware type.
