This is the updated version of df54d6fa5427 ("x86 get_unmapped_area():
use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction") that only randomizes the
mmap base address once.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.

The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.

In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774

So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that.  Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.

load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an
cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the
patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs
anyway.

The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd()
now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from
collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that
point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be
overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()).

Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses
it was not much left.

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info
before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info().

If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early()
will fill -&gt;x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But
-&gt;x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in
no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot.

Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only
caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the
set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses
that struct.

So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum()
and the broken fallback can be dropped.
