Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
   long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
   Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
   significant performance impact.

   What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
   boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
   collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
   applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
   the call depth of the stack at any time.

   When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
   value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
   avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
   of Retbleed.

   This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
   back, as benchmarks suggest:

       https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/

   That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
   whole mechanism

 - Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
   based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
   support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
   hash to validate them

 - Other misc fixes and cleanups

Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Split MTRR and PAT init code to accomodate at least Xen PV and TDX
   guests which do not get MTRRs exposed but only PAT. (TDX guests do
   not support the cache disabling dance when setting up MTRRs so they
   fall under the same category)

   This is a cleanup work to remove all the ugly workarounds for such
   guests and init things separately (Juergen Gross)

 - Add two new Intel CPUs to the list of CPUs with "normal" Energy
   Performance Bias, leading to power savings

 - Do not do bus master arbitration in C3 (ARB_DISABLE) on modern
   Centaur CPUs

<title>x86/pm: Add enumeration check before spec MSRs save/restore setup</title>

pm_save_spec_msr() keeps a list of all the MSRs which _might_ need
to be saved and restored at hibernate and resume. However, it has
zero awareness of CPU support for these MSRs. It mostly works by
unconditionally attempting to manipulate these MSRs and relying on
rdmsrl_safe() being able to handle a #GP on CPUs where the support is
unavailable.

However, it's possible for reads (RDMSR) to be supported for a given MSR
while writes (WRMSR) are not. In this case, msr_build_context() sees
a successful read (RDMSR) and marks the MSR as valid. Then, later, a
write (WRMSR) fails, producing a nasty (but harmless) error message.
This causes restore_processor_state() to try and restore it, but writing
this MSR is not allowed on the Intel Atom N2600 leading to:

  unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x122 (tried to write 0x0000000000000002) \
     at rIP: 0xffffffff8b07a574 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20)
  Call Trace:
   &lt;TASK&gt;

   ? asm_exc_page_fault
   ? lockdep_hardirqs_on
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

To fix this, add the corresponding X86_FEATURE bit for each MSR.  Avoid
trying to manipulate the MSR when the feature bit is clear. This
required adding a X86_FEATURE bit for MSRs that do not have one already,
but it's a small price to pay.

  [ bp: Move struct msr_enumeration inside the only function that uses it. ]

DE_CFG contains the LFENCE serializing bit, restore it on resume too.
This is relevant to older families due to the way how they do S3.

Instead of having a stop_machine() handler for either a specific
MTRR register or all state at once, add a handler just for calling
cache_cpu_init() if appropriate.

Add functions for calling stop_machine() with this handler as well.

Add a generic replacement for mtrr_bp_restore() and a wrapper for
mtrr_bp_init().

GCC fancies inlining memcpy(), and because it cannot prove the
destination is page-aligned (it is) it ends up generating atrocious
code like:

 19e:   48 8b 15 00 00 00 00    mov    0x0(%rip),%rdx        # 1a5 &lt;relocate_restore_code+0x25&gt; 1a1: R_X86_64_PC32      core_restore_code-0x4
 1a5:   48 8d 78 08             lea    0x8(%rax),%rdi
 1a9:   48 89 c1                mov    %rax,%rcx
 1ac:   48 c7 c6 00 00 00 00    mov    $0x0,%rsi        1af: R_X86_64_32S       core_restore_code
 1b3:   48 83 e7 f8             and    $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdi
 1b7:   48 29 f9                sub    %rdi,%rcx
 1ba:   48 89 10                mov    %rdx,(%rax)
 1bd:   48 8b 15 00 00 00 00    mov    0x0(%rip),%rdx        # 1c4 &lt;relocate_restore_code+0x44&gt; 1c0: R_X86_64_PC32      core_restore_code+0xff4
 1c4:   48 29 ce                sub    %rcx,%rsi
 1c7:   81 c1 00 10 00 00       add    $0x1000,%ecx
 1cd:   48 89 90 f8 0f 00 00    mov    %rdx,0xff8(%rax)
 1d4:   c1 e9 03                shr    $0x3,%ecx
 1d7:   f3 48 a5                rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)

Notably the alignment code generates a text reference to
code_restore_code+0xff8, for which objtool raises the objection:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: relocate_restore_code+0x3d: relocation to !ENDBR: next_arg+0x18

Applying some __assume_aligned(PAGE_SIZE) improve code-gen to:

 19e:   48 89 c7                mov    %rax,%rdi
 1a1:   48 c7 c6 00 00 00 00    mov    $0x0,%rsi        1a4: R_X86_64_32S       core_restore_code
 1a8:   b9 00 02 00 00          mov    $0x200,%ecx
 1ad:   f3 48 a5                rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)

And resolve the problem, however, none of this is important code and
a much simpler solution still is to force a memcpy() call:

 1a1:   ba 00 10 00 00          mov    $0x1000,%edx
 1a6:   48 c7 c6 00 00 00 00    mov    $0x0,%rsi        1a9: R_X86_64_32S       core_restore_code
 1ad:   e8 00 00 00 00          call   1b2 &lt;relocate_restore_code+0x32&gt; 1ae: R_X86_64_PLT32     __memcpy-0x4

When resuming from system sleep state, restore_processor_state()
restores the boot CPU MSRs. These MSRs could be emulated by microcode.
If microcode is not loaded yet, writing to emulated MSRs leads to
unchecked MSR access error:

  ...

To ensure microcode emulated MSRs are available for restoration, load
the microcode on the boot CPU before restoring these MSRs.

After resuming from suspend-to-RAM, the MSRs that control CPU's
speculative execution behavior are not being restored on the boot CPU.

These MSRs are used to mitigate speculative execution vulnerabilities.
Not restoring them correctly may leave the CPU vulnerable.  Secondary
CPU's MSRs are correctly being restored at S3 resume by
identify_secondary_cpu().

During S3 resume, restore these MSRs for boot CPU when restoring its
processor state.

The mechanism to save/restore MSRs during S3 suspend/resume checks for
the MSR validity during suspend, and only restores the MSR if its a
valid MSR.  This is not optimal, as an invalid MSR will unnecessarily
throw an exception for every suspend cycle.  The more invalid MSRs,
higher the impact will be.

Check and save the MSR validity at setup.  This ensures that only valid
MSRs that are guaranteed to not throw an exception will be attempted
during suspend.
