877934769e - Cache the AMD debug registers in per-CPU variables to avoid MSR writes
where possible, when supporting a debug registers swap feature for
   SEV-ES guests
 
 - Add support for AMD's version of eIBRS called Automatic IBRS which is
   a set-and-forget control of indirect branch restriction speculation
   resources on privilege change
 
 - Add support for a new x86 instruction - LKGS - Load kernel GS which is
   part of the FRED infrastructure
 
 - Reset SPEC_CTRL upon init to accomodate use cases like kexec which
   rediscover

c37b5efea4 x86, xsave: save/restore the extended state context in sigframe
On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, will
include the extended state information along with fpstate information. Presence
of extended state information is indicated by the presence
of FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 at fpstate.sw_reserved.magic1 and FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2
at fpstate + (fpstate.sw_reserved.extended_size - FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE).

Extended feature bit mask that is saved in the memory layout is represented
by the fpstate.sw_reserved.xstate_bv

For RT signal frames, UC_FP_XSTATE in the uc_flags also indicate the
presence of extended state information in the sigcontext's fpstate
pointer.

3c1c7f1014 x86, xsave: dynamically allocate sigframes fpstate instead of static allocation
dynamically allocate fpstate on the stack, instead of static allocation
in the current sigframe layout on the user stack. This will allow the
fpstate structure to grow in the future, which includes extended state
information supporting xsave/xrstor.

signal handlers will be able to access the fpstate pointer from the
sigcontext structure asusual, with no change. For the non RT sigframe's
(which are supported only for 32bit apps), current static fpstate layout
in the sigframe will be unused(so that we don't change the extramask[]
offset in the sigframe and thus prevent breaking app's which modify
extramask[]).

Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.

Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().

However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.

Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...

Mihai reported test success as well.

64f0973319 x86 ptrace: unify TIF_SINGLESTEP
This unifies the treatment of TIF_SINGLESTEP on i386 and x86_64.
The bit is now excluded from _TIF_WORK_MASK on i386 as it has been
on x86_64.  This means the do_notify_resume() path using it is never
used, so TIF_SINGLESTEP is not cleared on returning to user mode.

Both now leave TIF_SINGLESTEP set when returning to user, so that
it's already set on an int $0x80 system call entry.  This removes
the need for testing TF on the system_call path.  Doing it this way
fixes the regression for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP into a sigreturn syscall,
introduced by commit 1e2e99f0e4.

The clear_TF_reenable case that sets TIF_SINGLESTEP can only happen
on a non-exception kernel entry, i.e. sysenter/syscall instruction.
That will always get to the syscall exit tracing path.

5a8da0ea82 signals: x86 TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK
Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own
set_restore_sigmask() function.  This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit
operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING
always has to be set too.

8b9c5ff380 x86 signals: lift flags diddling code
This lifts the code diddling the TF and DF bits for signal handler setup
out of the several places copying the same code into the one place that
calls them all.  There is no change in what it does.

I also separated the recently-added DF bit clearing from the TF diddling.
The compiler turns them back into one instruction anyway.  The tossing
in of DF to the same line of code with no new comments was a bit more
arcane than seems wise.
