Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
  engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
  unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
  Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
  page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
  bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
  the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
  the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
  and accessible.

  While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
  raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
  loading the data and making it available to other speculative
  instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
  unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.

  While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
  allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
  attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
  and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
  bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.

  The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646

  The mitigations provided by this pull request include:

   - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
     present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.

   - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.

   - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
     by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
     the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs

   - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
     and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
     and at runtime via sysfs

   - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
     mitigations.

  Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
  patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
  heated, but at the end constructive discussions.

  There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
  might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
  workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
  complexity and limitations"

<title>x86/tsc: Calibrate tsc only once</title>

<id>cf7a63ef4e0203f6f33284c69e8188d91422de83</id>
<content type='text'>
During boot tsc is calibrated twice: once in tsc_early_delay_calibrate(),
and the second time in tsc_init().

Rename tsc_early_delay_calibrate() to tsc_early_init(), and rework it so
the calibration is done only early, and make tsc_init() to use the values
already determined in tsc_early_init().

Sometimes it is not possible to determine tsc early, as the subsystem that
is required is not yet initialized, in such case try again later in
tsc_init().

<title>x86/jump_label: Initialize static branching early</title>

<content type='text'>
Static branching is useful to runtime patch branches that are used in hot
path, but are infrequently changed.

The x86 clock framework is one example that uses static branches to setup
the best clock during boot and never changes it again.

It is desired to enable the TSC based sched clock early to allow fine
grained boot time analysis early on. That requires the static branching
functionality to be functional early as well.

Static branching requires patching nop instructions, thus,
arch_init_ideal_nops() must be called prior to jump_label_init().

Do all the necessary steps to call arch_init_ideal_nops() right after
early_cpu_init(), which also allows to insert a call to jump_label_init()
right after that. jump_label_init() will be called again from the generic
init code, but the code is protected against reinitialization already.

<title>x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency</title>

<content type='text'>
KVM clock is initialized later compared to other hypervisor clocks because
it has a dependency on the memblock allocator.

Bring it in line with other hypervisors by using memory from the BSS
instead of allocating it.

The benefits:

  - Remove ifdef from common code
  - Earlier availability of the clock
  - Remove dependency on memblock, and reduce code

The downside:

  - Static allocation of the per cpu data structures sized NR_CPUS * 64byte
    Will be addressed in follow up patches.

<title>PCI: Make early dump functionality generic</title>

<content type='text'>
Move early dump functionality into common code so that it is available for
all architectures.  No need to carry arch-specific reads around as the read
hooks are already initialized by the time pci_setup_device() is getting
called during scan.

<title>x86/speculation/l1tf: Make sure the first page is always reserved</title>

<id>10a70416e1f067f6c4efda6ffd8ea96002ac4223</id>
<content type='text'>
The L1TF workaround doesn't make any attempt to mitigate speculate accesses
to the first physical page for zeroed PTEs. Normally it only contains some
data from the early real mode BIOS.

It's not entirely clear that the first page is reserved in all
configurations, so add an extra reservation call to make sure it is really
reserved. In most configurations (e.g.  with the standard reservations)
it's likely a nop.

<title>mm/pkeys, x86, powerpc: Display pkey in smaps if arch supports pkeys</title>

Currently the architecture specific code is expected to display the
protection keys in smap for a given vma. This can lead to redundant
code and possibly to divergent formats in which the key gets
displayed.

This patch changes the implementation. It displays the pkey only if
the architecture support pkeys, i.e arch_pkeys_enabled() returns true.

x86 arch_show_smap() function is not needed anymore, delete it.

<title>x86/setup: Do not reserve a crash kernel region if booted on Xen PV</title>

<id>3db3eb285259ac129f7aec6b814b3e9f6c1b372b</id>
<content type='text'>
Xen PV domains cannot shut down and start a crash kernel. Instead,
the crashing kernel makes a SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with the
reason code SHUTDOWN_crash, cf. xen_crash_shutdown() machine op in
arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c.

A crash kernel reservation is merely a waste of RAM in this case. It
may also confuse users of kexec_load(2) and/or kexec_file_load(2).
When flags include KEXEC_ON_CRASH or KEXEC_FILE_ON_CRASH,
respectively, these syscalls return success, which is technically
correct, but the crash kexec image will never be actually used.
