f095df0a0c x86/Voyager: remove X86_BIOS_REBOOT Kconfig quirk
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk:

config X86_BIOS_REBOOT
	bool
	depends on !X86_VOYAGER
	default y

Voyager should use the existing machine_ops.emergency_restart reboot
quirk mechanism instead of a build-time quirk.

3e5095d152 x86: replace CONFIG_X86_SMP with CONFIG_SMP
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.

02cf94c370 x86: make x86_32 use tlb_64.c
Impact: less contention when issuing invalidate IPI, cleanup

Make x86_32 use the same tlb code as 64bit.  The 64bit code uses
multiple IPI vectors for tlb shootdown to reduce contention.  This
patch makes x86_32 allocate the same 8 IPIs as x86_64 and share the
code paths.

Note that the usage of asmlinkage is inconsistent for x86_32 and 64
and calls for further cleanup.  This has been noted with a FIXME
comment in tlb_64.c.

8b96f01198 tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions
Impact: trace more functions

When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.

arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:

I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.

kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:

Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()

To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

48d68b20d0 tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86

This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.

This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.

That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.

Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).

So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).

A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

caf4b323b0 tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing
Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing

Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.

The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.

Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.

For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

80cc9f1020 x86: AMD microcode patch loading support
This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD
processors. It is based on previous corresponding work
for Intel processors.

It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main
difference is that a container file format is used to hold
all patch data for multiple processors as well as an
equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed
to Intel's microcode patching solution.

Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config
and build option for new source file.

8d86f390d9 x86: major refactoring
Refactored code by introducing a two-module solution.

There is one general module in which vendor specific modules can hook into.
However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module
allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct
module for the underlying system gets called.

Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This
refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors'
patch loaders.
