The cacheinfo structure defined at <include/linux/cacheinfo.h> is a
generic cache info object representation.
Calling its instances at x86 cacheinfo.c "leaf" confuses it with a CPUID
leaf -- especially that multiple CPUID calls are already sprinkled across
that file. Most of such instances also have a redundant "this_" prefix.
Rename all of the cacheinfo "this_leaf" instances to just "ci".

amd_cpuid4()'s first parameter, "leaf", is not a CPUID leaf as the name
implies. Rather, it's an index emulating CPUID(4)'s subleaf semantics;
i.e. an ID for the cache object currently enumerated. Rename that
parameter to "index".
Apply minor coding style fixes to the rest of the function as well.

Leaf 0x2 output includes a "query count" byte where it was supposed to
specify the number of repeated CPUID leaf 0x2 subleaf 0 queries needed to
extract all of the CPU's cache and TLB descriptors.
Per current Intel manuals, all CPUs supporting this leaf "will always"
return an iteration count of 1.

When split_lock_mitigate is disabled, each CPU needs its own delayed_work
structure. They are used to reenable split lock detection after its
disabling. But delayed_work structure must be correctly initialized after
its allocation.
Current implementation uses deferred initialization that makes the
split lock handler code unclear. The code can be simplified a bit
if the initialization is moved to the appropriate initcall.
sld_setup() is called before setup_per_cpu_areas(), thus it can't be used
for this purpose, so introduce an independent initcall for
the initialization.

Update kcpuid's CSV file to version 2.3, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.
Summary of the v2.3 changes:
* Per H. Peter Anvin's feedback, leaf 0x3 is not unique to Transmeta as
the CSV file earlier claimed. Since leaf 0x3's format differs between
Intel and Transmeta, and the project does not yet support having the
same CPUID bitfield with varying interpretations across vendors, leaf
0x3 is removed for now. Given that Intel discontinued support for PSN
from Pentium 4 onward, and Linux force disables it on early boot for
privacy concerns, this should have minimal impact.
* Leaf 0x80000021: Make bitfield IDs and descriptions coherent with each
other. Remove "_support" from bitfield IDs, as no other leaf has such
convention.

Summary of the v2.0 changes:
* Introduce the leaves:
- Leaf 0x00000003, Transmeta Processor serial number
- Leaf 0x80860000, Transmeta max leaf number + CPU vendor ID
- Leaf 0x80860001, Transmeta extended CPU information
- Leaf 0x80860002, Transmeta Code Morphing Software (CMS) enumeration
- Leaf 0x80860003 => 0x80860006, Transmeta CPU information string
- Leaf 0x80860007, Transmeta "live" CPU information
- Leaf 0xc0000000, Centaur/Zhaoxin's max leaf number
- Leaf 0xc0000001, Centaur/Zhaoxin's extended CPU features
* Add a 0x prefix for leaves 0x0 to 0x9. This maintains consistency with
the rest of the CSV entries.
* Add the new bitfields:
- Leaf 0x7: nmi_src, NMI-source reporting
- Leaf 0x80000001: e_base_type and e_mmx (Transmeta)
* Update the section headers for leaves 0x80000000 and 0x80000005 to
indicate that they are also valid for Transmeta.
Notes:
Leaf 0x3, being not unique to Transmeta, is handled at the generated
CSV file v2.3 update, later in this patch queue.
Leaf 0x80000001 EDX:23 bit, e_mmx, is also available on AMD. A bugfix
is already merged at x86-cpuid-db's -tip for that, and it will be part

Next commits will introduce vendor-specific CPUID ranges like Transmeta's
0x8086000 range and Centaur's 0xc0000000.
Initially explicit vendor detection was implemented, but it turned out to
be not strictly necessary. As Dave Hansen noted, even established tools
like cpuid(1) just tries all ranges indices, and see if the CPU responds
back with something sensible.
Do something similar at setup_cpuid_range(). Query the range's index,
and check the maximum range function value returned. If it's within an
expected interval of [range_index, range_index + MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET],
accept the range as valid and further query its leaves.
Set MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET to a heuristic of 0xff. That should be
sensible enough since all the ranges covered by x86-cpuid-db XML database
are:
0x00000000 0x00000023
0x40000000 0x40000000
0x80000000 0x80000026
0x80860000 0x80860007
0xc0000000 0xc0000001
At setup_cpuid_range(), if the range's returned maximum function was not
sane, mark it as invalid by setting its number of leaves, range->nr, to
zero.
Introduce the for_each_valid_cpuid_range() iterator instead of sprinkling
"range->nr != 0" checks throughout the code.

If the user passed an invalid CPUID index value through --leaf=index,
kcpuid prints a warning, does nothing, then exits successfully.
Transform the warning to an error, and exit the program with a proper

Similarly, if the user passed an invalid subleaf, kcpuid prints a
warning, dumps the whole leaf, then exits successfully. Print a clear
error message regarding the invalid subleaf and exit the program with the
proper error code.
Note, moving the "Invalid input index" message from index_to_func() to
show_info() localizes error message handling to the latter, where it
should be. It also allows index_to_func() to be refactored at further
commits.

Error handling in kcpuid is unreliable. On malloc() failures, the code
prints an error then just goes on. The error messages are also printed
to standard output instead of standard error.
Use err() and errx() from <err.h> to direct all error messages to
standard error and automatically exit the program. Use err() to include
the errno information, and errx() otherwise. Use warnx() for warnings.
While at it, alphabetically reorder the header includes.

For (!X86_KERNEL_IBT && !LTO_CLANG && NOINSTR_VALIDATION), objtool runs
on both translation units and vmlinux.o. The vmlinux.o run only does
noinstr/noret validation. In that case --no-unreachable has no effect.
Remove it.
Note that for ((X86_KERNEL_IBT || LTO_CLANG) && KCOV), --no-unreachable
still gets set in objtool-args-y by scripts/Makefile.lib.

In the past there were issues with KCOV triggering unreachable
instruction warnings, which is why unreachable warnings are now disabled
with CONFIG_KCOV.
Now some new KCOV warnings are showing up with GCC 14:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cpuset_write_resmask() falls through to next function cpuset_update_active_cpus.cold()
drivers/usb/core/driver.o: error: objtool: usb_deregister() falls through to next function usb_match_device()
sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wcd934x.o: warning: objtool: .text.wcd934x_slim_irq_handler: unexpected end of section
All are caused by GCC KCOV not finishing an optimization, leaving behind
a never-taken conditional branch to a basic block which falls through to
the next function (or end of section).
At a high level this is similar to the unreachable warnings mentioned
above, in that KCOV isn't fully removing dead code. Treat it the same
way by adding these to the list of warnings to ignore with CONFIG_KCOV.

If IBT is enabled and a module uses the deprecated init_module() magic
function name rather than module_init(fn), its ENDBR will get removed,
causing an IBT failure during module load.
Objtool does print an obscure warning, but then does nothing to either
correct it or return an error.
Improve the usefulness of the warning and return an error so it will at
least fail the build with CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.

For X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternatives which replace NOP with STAC or CLAC,
uaccess validation skips the NOP branch to avoid following impossible
code paths, e.g. where a STAC would be patched but a CLAC wouldn't.
However, it's not safe to assume an X86_FEATURE_SMAP alternative is
patching STAC/CLAC. There can be other alternatives, like
static_cpu_has(), where both branches need to be validated.
Fix that by repurposing ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE for skipping either
original instructions or new ones. This is a more generic approach
which enables the removal of the feature checking hacks and the
insn->ignore bit.

During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.
The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.
Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.
Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.
The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:
earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]
Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:
arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c
Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

Commit:
2e4be0d011 ("x86/show_trace_log_lvl: Ensure stack pointer is aligned, again")
was intended to ensure alignment of the stack pointer; but it also moved
the initialization of the "stack" variable down into the loop header.
This was likely intended as a no-op cleanup, since the commit
message does not mention it; however, this caused a behavioral change
because the value of "regs" is different between the two places.
Originally, get_stack_pointer() used the regs provided by the caller; after
that commit, get_stack_pointer() instead uses the regs at the top of the
stack frame the unwinder is looking at. Often, there are no such regs at
all, and "regs" is NULL, causing get_stack_pointer() to fall back to the
task's current stack pointer, which is not what we want here, but probably
happens to mostly work. Other times, the original regs will point to
another regs frame - in that case, the linear guess unwind logic in
show_trace_log_lvl() will start unwinding too far up the stack, causing the
first frame found by the proper unwinder to never be visited, resulting in
a stack trace consisting purely of guess lines.
Fix it by moving the "stack = " assignment back where it belongs.

PUSH_REGS with save_ret=1 is used by interrupt entry helper functions that
initially start with a UNWIND_HINT_FUNC ORC state.
However, save_ret=1 means that we clobber the helper function's return
address (and then later restore the return address further down on the
stack); after that point, the only thing on the stack we can unwind through
is the IRET frame, so use UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS until we have a full
pt_regs frame.
( An alternate approach would be to move the pt_regs->di overwrite down
such that it is the final step of pt_regs setup; but I don't want to
rearrange entry code just to make unwinding a tiny bit more elegant. )

There are two issues that can appear when building with clang and
'-march=native'.
The first issue is a compiler crash in the ipv6 stack with clang-18,
such as when building allmodconfig. This was frequently reported on the
LLVM issue tracker:
# Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20ip6_rcv_core
Stack dump:
0. Program arguments: clang ... -march=native ... net/ipv6/ip6_input.c
1. <eof> parser at end of file
2. Code generation
3. Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'net/ipv6/ip6_input.c'.
4. Running pass 'X86 DAG->DAG Instruction Selection' on function '@ip6_rcv_core'
The second issue is certain -Wframe-larger-than warnings that appear
with clang versions prior to 19, which introduced an optimization that
produces much better code:
# Link: 90ba33099c [2]
clang-18:
drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-core.c:605:20: error: stack frame size (2392) exceeds limit (2048) in 'saa7164_irq' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
605 | static irqreturn_t saa7164_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)

clang-19:

605 | static irqreturn_t saa7164_irq(int irq, void *dev_id)
| ^
Restrict the testing of the availability of '-march=native' to all
supported GCC versions and clang-19 and newer to avoid these known
resolved issues.

Add a 'native' option that allows users to build an optimized kernel for

laptop (generic --> native):
- vmlinux and compressed modules size:
125'907'744 bytes --> 125'595'280 bytes (-0.248 %)
18'810 kilobytes --> 18'770 kilobytes (-0.213 %)

- schbench (two message threads), 30-second runs:

There is little difference both in terms of size and of performance, however
the native build comes out on top ever so slightly.
