Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Fix SEV guest boot failures in certain circumstances, due to
   very early code relying on a BSS-zeroed variable that isn't
   actually zeroed yet an may contain non-zero bootup values

   Move the variable into the .data section go gain even earlier
   zeroing

 - Expose &amp; allow the IBPB-on-Entry feature on SNP guests, which
   was not properly exposed to guests due to initial implementational
   caution

 - Fix O= build failure when CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE is using relative
   file paths

 - Fix the various SNC (Sub-NUMA Clustering) topology enumeration
   bugs/artifacts (sched-domain build errors mostly).

   SNC enumeration data got more complicated with Granite Rapids X
   (GNR) and Clearwater Forest X (CWF), which exposed these bugs
   and made their effects more serious

 - Also use the now sane(r) SNC code to fix resctrl SNC detection bugs

 - Work around a historic libgcc unwinder bug in the vdso32 sigreturn
   code (again), which regressed during an overly aggressive recent
   cleanup of DWARF annotations

<title>x86/sev: Allow IBPB-on-Entry feature for SNP guests</title>

The SEV-SNP IBPB-on-Entry feature does not require a guest-side
implementation. It was added in Zen5 h/w, after the first SNP Zen
implementation, and thus was not accounted for when the initial set of SNP
features were added to the kernel.

In its abundant precaution, commit

  8c29f0165405 ("x86/sev: Add SEV-SNP guest feature negotiation support")

included SEV_STATUS' IBPB-on-Entry bit as a reserved bit, thereby masking
guests from using the feature.

Allow guests to make use of IBPB-on-Entry when supported by the hypervisor, as
the bit is now architecturally defined and safe to expose.

As part of the work to remove the dependency on calling into the decompressor
code (startup_64()) for a UEFI boot, a call to rmpadjust() was removed from
sev_enable() in favor of checking the value of the snp_vmpl variable.

When booting through a non-UEFI path and calling startup_64(), the call to
sev_enable() is performed before the BSS section is zeroed. With the removal
of the rmpadjust() call and the corresponding check of the return code, the
snp_vmpl variable is checked.

Since the kernel is running at VMPL0, the snp_vmpl variable will not have been
set and should be the default value of 0.  However, since the call occurs
before the BSS is zeroed, the snp_vmpl variable may not actually be zero,
which will cause the guest boot to fail.

Since the decompressor relocates itself, the BSS would need to be cleared both
before and after the relocation, but this would, in effect, cause all of the
changes to BSS variables before relocation to be lost after relocation.

Instead, move the snp_vmpl variable into the .data section so that it is
initialized and the value made safe during relocation. As a pre-caution
against future changes, move other SEV-related decompressor variables into the
.data section, too.

<title>kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS</title>

Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

<title>mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE</title>

<id>7303ecbfe4f46c00191b9b66acaa918784bad210</id>
<content type='text'>
Architectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers by
defining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE.

In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will require
storage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead of
defining a macro, select a CONFIG option.

This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each arch
select it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. 
__HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; relies on
the new CONFIG instead.

On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected.
This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few files
manually undefine PARAVIRT* options.  As a result &lt;asm/paravirt.h&gt; does
not define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as
&lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. 
There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefine
that new CONFIG too.

Move the internal header out of the usual include/asm/ include path
because having an "internal" header there doesn't really make it
internal - quite the opposite - that's the normal arch include path.

So move where it belongs and make it really internal.

No functional changes.
