Modifying a MCA bank's MCA_CTL bits which control which error types to
be reported is done over

  ...

sysfs nodes by writing the new bit mask of events to enable.

When the write is accepted, the kernel deletes all current timers and
reinits all banks.

Doing that in parallel can lead to initializing a timer which is already
armed and in the timer wheel, i.e., in use already:

  ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888063a28000 object
  type: timer_list hint: mce_timer_fn+0x0/0x240 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c:2642
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 8120 at lib/debugobjects.c:514
  debug_print_object+0x1a0/0x2a0 lib/debugobjects.c:514

Fix that by grabbing the sysfs mutex as the rest of the MCA sysfs code
does.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

  FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
  of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

   1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
      in nested exception scenarios.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
      exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
      each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
      of #NMI code to handle this.

   3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
      which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
      to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

   4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
      is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
      stack trace.

   5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

   6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
      on large systems.

   7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

  FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

   1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
      exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
      for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
      complexity of preserving it in software.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
      exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

   3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
      BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
      per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

   4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
      return from NMI.

   5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

   6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
      because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
      and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
      syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
      entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
      the vector space restriction.

      The first hardware implementations will still have the current
      restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
      further changes to the local APIC.

   7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
      allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
      required local APIC changes are in place.

  The series implements the initial FRED support by:

   - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
     accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

   - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
     requires to store context and meta information

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
     information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

   - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
     demultiplex the events

   - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
     tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

  The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
  implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
  like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
  impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
  extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
  therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

  It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
  simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

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.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
make mce_subsys a constant structure.

Like #DB, when occurred on different ring level, i.e., from user or kernel
context, #MCE needs to be handled on different stack: User #MCE on current
task stack, while kernel #MCE on a dedicated stack.

This is exactly how FRED event delivery invokes an exception handler: ring
3 event on level 0 stack, i.e., current task stack; ring 0 event on the
the FRED machine check entry stub doesn't do stack switch.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
 "This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
  KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
  KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
  interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
  ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
  kexec is on.

  The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
  which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
  to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
  the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
  back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."

  There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
  a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
  kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
  masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
  out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"
