Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It
crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu():
766 generic_identify(c);
767
768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify)
769 this_cpu->c_identify(c);
this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in
get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has
no CPUID instruction.

This reverts commit 95ee14e4379c5e19c0897c872350570402014742.
Mikael Petterson <mikepe@it.uu.se> reported that at least one of his
systems will not boot as a result. We have ruled out the detection
algorithm malfunctioning, so it is not a matter of producing the
incorrect bitmasks; rather, something in the application of them
fails.
Revert the commit until we can root cause and correct this problem.
-stable team: this means the underlying commit should be rejected.

The espfix code triggers if we have a protected mode userspace
application with a 16-bit stack. On returning to userspace, with iret,
the CPU doesn't restore the high word of the stack pointer. This is an
"official" bug, and the work-around used in the kernel is to temporarily
switch to a 32-bit stack segment/pointer pair where the high word of the
pointer is equal to the high word of the userspace stackpointer.
The current implementation uses THREAD_SIZE to determine the cut-off,
but there is no good reason not to use the more natural 64kb... However,
implementing this by simply substituting THREAD_SIZE with 65536 in
patch_espfix_desc crashed the test application. patch_espfix_desc tries
to do what is described above, but gets it subtly wrong if the userspace
stack pointer is just below a multiple of THREAD_SIZE: an overflow
occurs to bit 13... With a bit of luck, when the kernelspace
stackpointer is just below a 64kb-boundary, the overflow then ripples
trough to bit 16 and userspace will see its stack pointer changed by
65536.
This patch moves all espfix code into entry_32.S. Selecting a 16-bit
cut-off simplifies the code. The game with changing the limit dynamically
is removed too. It complicates matters and I see no value in it. Changing
only the top 16-bit word of ESP is one instruction and it also implies
that only two bytes of the ESPFIX GDT entry need to be changed and this
can be implemented in just a handful simple to understand instructions.
As a side effect, the operation to compute the original ESP from the
ESPFIX ESP and the GDT entry simplifies a bit too, and the remaining
three instructions have been expanded inline in entry_32.S.
impact: can now reliably run userspace with ESP=xxxxfffc on 16-bit
stack segment

iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of
physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86
CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want
to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can
actually address.
Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to
uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources.

setup_force_cpu_cap() only have one user (Xen guest code),
but it should not reuse cleared_cpu_cpus, otherwise it
will have problems on SMP.
Need to have a separate cpu_cpus_set array too, for forced-on
flags, beyond the forced-off flags.
Also need to setup handling before all cpus caps are combined.

Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y
Changeset bc9b83dd1f66402b870301c3c7117b9c1484abb4 "cpumask: convert
c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a
bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence
not allocated).
This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out
anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never
be NULL).
In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates
(and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.

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: split out a function, no functional change
Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.
Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Impact: Fixes potential crashes on misconfigured systems.
Some CPU features require specific CPUID levels to be available in
order to function, as they contain information about the operation of
a specific feature. However, some BIOSes and virtualization software
provide the ability to mask CPUID levels in order to support legacy
operating systems. We try to enable such CPUID levels when we know
how to do it, but for the remaining cases, filter out such CPU
features when there is no way for us to support them.
Do this in one place, in the CPUID code, with a table-driven approach.

Impact: Cleanup
When PAT was originally introduced, it was handled specially for a few
reasons:
- PAT bugs are hard to track down, so we wanted to maintain a
whitelist of CPUs.
- The i386 and x86-64 CPUID code was not yet unified.
Both of these are now obsolete, so handle PAT like any other features,
including ordinary feature blacklisting due to known bugs.

Impact: cleanup
Make the following uv related cleanups.
* collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h
and use it. this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv
is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest
undefined. after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on
32.
* update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of
to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and
returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed
in parameter. this interface change will ease dummy implementation
of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff
defined in tlb_uv proper.
