Without this fix, /proc/cpuinfo will display an incorrect amount
of CPU cores, after bringing them offline and online again, as
exemplified below:

  $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
  cpu cores	: 4
  cpu cores	: 8
  cpu cores	: 8
  cpu cores	: 20
  cpu cores	: 4
  cpu cores	: 3
  cpu cores	: 2
  cpu cores	: 2

This patch fixes this by always zeroing the booted_cores variable
upon turning off a logical CPU.

<title>x86/intel_rdt: Fix incorrect returned value when creating rdgroup sub-directory in resctrl file system</title>

If no monitoring feature is detected because all monitoring features are
disabled during boot time or there is no monitoring feature in hardware,
creating rdtgroup sub-directory by "mkdir" command reports error:

  mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/sys/fs/resctrl/p1’: No such file or directory

But the sub-directory actually is generated and content is correct:

  cpus  cpus_list  schemata  tasks

The error is because rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon() returns non zero value after
the sub-directory is created and the returned value is reported as an error
to user.

Clear the returned value to report to user that the sub-directory is
actually created successfully.

When a irq vector is replaced, then the previous vector is normally
released when the first interrupt happens on the new vector. If the target
CPU of the previous vector is already offline when the new vector is
installed, then the previous vector is silently discarded, which leads to
accounting issues causing suspend failures and other problems.

Adjust the logic so that the previous vector is freed in the underlying
matrix allocator to ensure that the accounting stays correct.

<title>x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32</title>

<id>b21ebf2fb4cde1618915a97cc773e287ff49173e</id>
<content type='text'>
On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC.  PIE and shared
objects must use PIC PLT.  To use PIC PLT, you need to load
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ into EBX first.  There is no need for that on
x86-64 since x86-64 uses PC-relative PLT.

On x86-64, for 32-bit PC-relative branches, we can generate PLT32
relocation, instead of PC32 relocation, which can also be used as
a marker for 32-bit PC-relative branches.  Linker can always reduce
PLT32 relocation to PC32 if function is defined locally.   Local
functions should use PC32 relocation.  As far as Linux kernel is
concerned, R_X86_64_PLT32 can be treated the same as R_X86_64_PC32
since Linux kernel doesn't use PLT.

R_X86_64_PLT32 for 32-bit PC-relative branches has been enabled in
binutils master branch which will become binutils 2.31.

[ hjl is working on having better documentation on this all, but a few
  more notes from him:

   "PLT32 relocation is used as marker for PC-relative branches. Because
    of EBX, it looks odd to generate PLT32 relocation on i386 when EBX
    doesn't have GOT.

    As for symbol resolution, PLT32 and PC32 relocations are almost
    interchangeable. But when linker sees PLT32 relocation against a
    protected symbol, it can resolved locally at link-time since it is
    used on a branch instruction. Linker can't do that for PC32
    relocation"

  but for the kernel use, the two are basically the same, and this
  commit gets things building and working with the current binutils
  master   - Linus ]

Pull x86 PTI and Spectre related fixes and updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here's the latest set of Spectre and PTI related fixes and updates:

  Spectre:
   - Add entry code register clearing to reduce the Spectre attack
     surface
   - Update the Spectre microcode blacklist
   - Inline the KVM Spectre helpers to get close to v4.14 performance
     again.
   - Fix indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
   - Fix/improve Spectre related kernel messages
   - Fix array_index_nospec_mask() asm constraint
   - KVM: fix two MSR handling bugs

  PTI:
   - Fix a paranoid entry PTI CR3 handling bug
   - Fix comments

  objtool:
   - Fix paranoid_entry() frame pointer warning
   - Annotate WARN()-related UD2 as reachable
   - Various fixes
   - Add Add Peter Zijlstra as objtool co-maintainer

  Misc:
   - Various x86 entry code self-test fixes
   - Improve/simplify entry code stack frame generation and handling
     after recent heavy-handed PTI and Spectre changes. (There's two
     more WIP improvements expected here.)
   - Type fix for cache entries

  There's also some low risk non-fix changes I've included in this
  branch to reduce backporting conflicts:

   - rename a confusing x86_cpu field name
   - de-obfuscate the naming of single-TLB flushing primitives"

* 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (41 commits)
  x86/entry/64: Fix CR3 restore in paranoid_exit()
  x86/cpu: Change type of x86_cache_size variable to unsigned int
  x86/spectre: Fix an error message
  x86/cpu: Rename cpu_data.x86_mask to cpu_data.x86_stepping
  selftests/x86/mpx: Fix incorrect bounds with old _sigfault
  x86/mm: Rename flush_tlb_single() and flush_tlb_one() to __flush_tlb_one_[user|kernel]()
  x86/speculation: Add &lt;asm/msr-index.h&gt; dependency
  nospec: Move array_index_nospec() parameter checking into separate macro
  x86/speculation: Fix up array_index_nospec_mask() asm constraint
  x86/debug: Use UD2 for WARN()
  x86/debug, objtool: Annotate WARN()-related UD2 as reachable
  objtool: Fix segfault in ignore_unreachable_insn()
  selftests/x86: Disable tests requiring 32-bit support on pure 64-bit systems
  selftests/x86: Do not rely on "int $0x80" in single_step_syscall.c
  selftests/x86: Do not rely on "int $0x80" in test_mremap_vdso.c
  selftests/x86: Fix build bug caused by the 5lvl test which has been moved to the VM directory
  selftests/x86/pkeys: Remove unused functions
  selftests/x86: Clean up and document sscanf() usage

Currently, x86_cache_size is of type int, which makes no sense as we
will never have a valid cache size equal or less than 0. So instead of
initializing this variable to -1, it can perfectly be initialized to 0
and use it as an unsigned variable instead.

If i == ARRAY_SIZE(mitigation_options) then we accidentally print
garbage from one space beyond the end of the mitigation_options[] array.
