aced3ce: x86/Voyager: remove HIBERNATION Kconfig quirk
Made hibernation only available on UP - instead of making it available
on all of x86. Fix it.

Patch to rename the CONFIG_X86_NON_STANDARD to CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM.
The new name represents the subarches better. Also, default this to 'y'
so that many of the sub architectures that were not easily visible now
become visible.
Also re-organize the extended architecture platform and non standard
platform list alphabetically as suggested by Ingo.

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.
* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
and simplifies entry path with error code.
* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The
lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.
xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer
to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem
was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail
out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the
dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened
to be in NMI context.
Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes
the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce
custom code.

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI
The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.
The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.
This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.
When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.
This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by

If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the
kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.

Voyager has this ISA quirk (because Voyager has no ISA support):
config ISA
bool "ISA support"
depends on !X86_VOYAGER
There's a ton of x86 hardware that does not support ISA, and because
most ISA drivers cannot auto-detect in a safe way, the convention in
the kernel has always been to not enable ISA drivers if they are not
needed.
Voyager users can do likewise - no need for a Kconfig quirk.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':
config X86_SMP
bool
depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)
This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.
So remove this complication in the Kconfig space.
