Since commit 1cf4f629d9 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to
hotplugged cpu") the CPU_ONLINE and CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are
always run on the hot plugged CPU, and as of commit 3b9d6da67e
("cpu/hotplug: Fix rollback during error-out in __cpu_disable()")
the CPU_DOWN_FAILED notifier also runs on the hot plugged CPU.
This patch converts the SMP functional calls into direct calls.
smp_call_function_single() executes the function with interrupts
disabled. This calling convention is preserved.

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs.
Move the callbacks to online/offline as there is no point in having the

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event
unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be
ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack.
While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not
match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than
the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already
overwritten stack.
Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP
when we need stack unwinds.
Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual
event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record
and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general
direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do,
considering.
The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was
a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the
tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly
triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn
triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll
try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is
now overwritten by our own.

The Unified Memory Controllers (UMCs) on Fam17h log a normalized address
in their MCA_ADDR registers. We need to convert that normalized address
to a system physical address in order to support a few facilities:
1) To offline poisoned pages in DRAM proactively in the deferred error
handler.
2) To print sysaddr and page info for DRAM ECC errors in EDAC.
[ Boris: fixes/cleanups ontop:
* hi_addr_offset = 0 - no need for that branch. Stick it all under the
HiAddrOffsetEn case. It confines hi_addr_offset's declaration too.
* Move variables to the innermost scope they're used at so that we save
on stack and not blow it up immediately on function entry.
* Do not modify *sys_addr prematurely - we want to not exit early and
have modified *sys_addr some, which callers get to see. We either
convert to a sys_addr or we don't do anything. And we signal that with
the retval of the function.
* Rename label out -> out_err - because it is the error path.
* No need to pr_err of the conversion failed case: imagine a
sparsely-populated machine with UMCs which don't have DIMMs. Callers
should look at the retval instead and issue a printk only when really
necessary. No need for useless info in dmesg.
* s/temp_reg/tmp/ and other variable names shortening => shorter code.
* Use BIT() everywhere.
* Make error messages more informative.

So adding thresholding_en et al was a good thing for removing the
per-CPU thresholding callback, i.e., threshold_cpu_callback.
But, in order for it to work and especially that test in
mce_threshold_create_device() so that all thresholding banks get
properly created and not the whole thing to fail with a NULL ptr
dereference at mce_cpu_pre_down() when we offline the CPUs, we need to
set the thresholding_en flag *before* we start creating the devices.
Yap, it failed because thresholding_en wasn't set at the time
we were creating the banks so we didn't create any and then at
mce_cpu_pre_down() -> mce_threshold_remove_device() time, we would blow
up.
And the fix is actually easy: we have thresholding on the system when we
have managed to set the thresholding vector to amd_threshold_interrupt()
earlier in mce_amd_feature_init() while we were picking apart the
thresholding banks and what is set and what not.
So let's do that.

Linux will have all kinds of sporadic problems on systems that don't
have the CPUID instruction unless CONFIG_M486=y. In particular,
sync_core() will explode.
I believe that these kernels had a better chance of working before
commit 05fb3c199b ("x86/boot: Initialize FPU and X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS
even if we don't have CPUID"). That commit inadvertently fixed a
serious bug: we used to fail to detect the FPU if CPUID wasn't
present. Because we also used to forget to set X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS, we
end up with no cpu feature bits set at all. This meant that
alternative patching didn't do anything and, if paravirt was disabled,
we could plausibly finish the entire boot process without calling
sync_core().
Rather than trying to work around these issues, just have the kernel
fail loudly if it's running on a CPUID-less 486, doesn't have CPUID,
and doesn't have CONFIG_M486 set.

On the 80486 DX, it seems that some exceptions may leave garbage in
the high bits of CS. This causes sporadic failures in which
early_fixup_exception() refuses to fix up an exception.
As far as I can tell, this has been buggy for a long time, but the
problem seems to have been exacerbated by commits:
1e02ce4ccc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")
e1bfc11c5a ("x86/init: Fix cr4_init_shadow() on CR4-less machines")
This appears to have broken for as long as we've had early
exception handling.
[ Note to stable maintainers: This patch is needed all the way back to 3.4,
but it will only apply to 4.6 and up, as it depends on commit:
0e861fbb5b ("x86/head: Move early exception panic code into early_fixup_exception()")
If you want to backport to kernels before 4.6, please don't backport the
prerequisites (there was a big chain of them that rewrote a lot of the
early exception machinery); instead, ask me and I can send you a one-liner
that will apply. ]

The X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flag in Linux kernel implies both reliable

Add a new flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ, which denotes that the frequency
is known (via MSR/CPUID). This flag is only meant to skip the long term

Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ to the skip the delayed calibration and

After converting the existing users of X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE to use
