During memory error injection test on kernels >= v6.4, the kernel panics

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check
The MCA code can recover from an in-kernel #MC if the fixup type is
EX_TYPE_UACCESS, explicitly indicating that the kernel is attempting to
access userspace memory. However, if the fixup type is EX_TYPE_DEFAULT
the only thing that is raised for an in-kernel #MC is a panic.
ex_handler_uaccess() would warn if users gave a non-canonical addresses
(with bit 63 clear) to {get, put}_user(), which was unexpected.
Therefore, commit
b19b74bc99b1 ("x86/mm: Rework address range check in get_user() and put_user()")
replaced _ASM_EXTABLE_UA() with _ASM_EXTABLE() for {get, put}_user()
fixups. However, the new fixup type EX_TYPE_DEFAULT results in a panic.
Commit
6014bc27561f ("x86-64: make access_ok() independent of LAM")
added the check gp_fault_address_ok() right before the WARN_ONCE() in
ex_handler_uaccess() to not warn about non-canonical user addresses due
to LAM.
With that in place, revert back to _ASM_EXTABLE_UA() for {get,put}_user()
exception fixups in order to be able to handle in-kernel MCEs correctly
again.

Commit 688eb8191b47 ("x86/csum: Improve performance of `csum_partial`")
ended up improving the code generation for the IP csum calculations, and
in particular special-casing the 40-byte case that is a hot case for
IPv6 headers.
It then had _another_ special case for the 64-byte unrolled loop, which
did two chains of 32-byte blocks, which allows modern CPU's to improve
performance by doing the chains in parallel thanks to renaming the carry
flag.
This just unifies the special cases and combines them into just one
single helper the 40-byte csum case, and replaces the 64-byte case by a
80-byte case that just does that single helper twice. It avoids having
all these different versions of inline assembly, and actually improved
performance further in my tests.
There was never anything magical about the 64-byte unrolled case, even
though it happens to be a common size (and typically is the cacheline
size).

The special case for odd aligned buffers is unnecessary and mostly just adds overhead. Aligned buffers is the expectations, and even for unaligned buffer, the only case that was helped is if the buffer was 1-byte from word aligned which is ~1/7 of the cases. Overall it seems highly unlikely to be worth to extra branch. It was left in the previous perf improvement patch because I was erroneously comparing the exact output of `csum_partial(...)`, but really we only need `csum_fold(csum_partial(...))` to match so its safe to remove. All csum kunit tests pass.

tl;dr: The num_digits() function has a theoretical overflow issue.
But it doesn't affect any actual in-tree users. Fix it by using
a larger type for one of the local variables.
Long version:
There is an overflow in variable m in function num_digits when val
is >= 1410065408 which leads to the digit calculation loop to
iterate more times than required. This results in either more
digits being counted or in some cases (for example where val is
1932683193) the value of m eventually overflows to zero and the
while loop spins forever).
Currently the function num_digits is currently only being used for
small values of val in the SMP boot stage for digit counting on the
number of cpus and NUMA nodes, so the overflow is never encountered.
However it is useful to fix the overflow issue in case the function
is used for other purposes in the future. (The issue was discovered
while investigating the digit counting performance in various
kernel helper functions rather than any real-world use-case).
The simplest fix is to make m a long long, the overhead in
multiplication speed for a long long is very minor for small values
of val less than 10000 on modern processors. The alternative
fix is to replace the multiplication with a constant division
by 10 loop (this compiles down to an multiplication and shift)
without needing to make m a long long, but this is slightly slower
than the fix in this commit when measured on a range of x86
processors).
