Start switching iomap_copy routines over to use #define and arch provided
inline/macro functions instead of weak symbols.

Inline functions allow more compiler optimization and this is often a
driver hot path.

x86 has the only weak implementation for __iowrite32_copy(), so replace it
with a static inline containing the same single instruction inline
assembly. The compiler will generate the "mov edx,ecx" in a more optimal
way.

Remove iomap_copy_64.S

<title>Merge branch 'linus' into x86/boot, to resolve conflict</title>

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in &lt;asm/coco.h&gt;:

  38b334fc767e Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

  1c811d403afd x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:

  2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree

But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.

So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

<title>x86/boot: Move mem_encrypt= parsing to the decompressor</title>

<id>cd0d9d92c8bb46e77de62efd7df13069ddd61e7d</id>
<content type='text'>
The early SME/SEV code parses the command line very early, in order to
decide whether or not memory encryption should be enabled, which needs
to occur even before the initial page tables are created.

This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- this early code runs from the 1:1 mapping provided by the decompressor
  or firmware, which uses a different translation than the one assumed by
  the linker, and so the code needs to be built in a special way;
- parsing external input while the entire kernel image is still mapped
  writable is a bad idea in general, and really does not belong in
  security minded code;
- the current code ignores the built-in command line entirely (although
  this appears to be the case for the entire decompressor)

Given that the decompressor/EFI stub is an intrinsic part of the x86
bootable kernel image, move the command line parsing there and out of
the core kernel. This removes the need to build lib/cmdline.o in a
special way, or to use RIP-relative LEA instructions in inline asm
blocks.

This involves a new xloadflag in the setup header to indicate
that mem_encrypt=on appeared on the kernel command line.

I didn't really want to do this, but as part of all the other changes to
the user copy loops, I've been looking at this horror.

I tried to clean it up multiple times, but every time I just found more
problems, and the way it's written, it's just too hard to fix them.

For example, the code is written to do quad-word alignment, and will use
regular byte accesses to get to that point.  That's fairly simple, but
it means that any initial 8-byte alignment will be done with cached
copies.

However, the code then is very careful to do any 4-byte _tail_ accesses
using an uncached 4-byte write, and that was claimed to be relevant in
commit a82eee742452 ("x86/uaccess/64: Handle the caching of 4-byte
nocache copies properly in __copy_user_nocache()").

So if you do a 4-byte copy using that function, it carefully uses a
4-byte 'movnti' for the destination.  But if you were to do a 12-byte
copy that is 4-byte aligned, it would _not_ do a 4-byte 'movnti'
followed by a 8-byte 'movnti' to keep it all uncached.

Instead, it would align the destination to 8 bytes using a
byte-at-a-time loop, and then do a 8-byte 'movnti' for the final 8
bytes.

The main caller that cares is __copy_user_flushcache(), which knows
about this insanity, and has odd cases for it all.  But I just can't
deal with looking at this kind of "it does one case right, and another
related case entirely wrong".

And the code really wasn't fixable without hard drugs, which I try to
avoid.

So instead, rewrite it in a form that hopefully not only gets this
right, but is a bit more maintainable.  Knock wood.

<content type='text'>
When building ARCH=i386 with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y, it's possible
(depending on additional configs which I have not been able to isolate)
to observe a failure during register allocation:

  error: inline assembly requires more registers than available

when memmove is inlined into tcp_v4_fill_cb() or tcp_v6_fill_cb().

memmove is quite large and probably shouldn't be inlined due to size
alone. A noinline function attribute would be the simplest fix, but
there's a few things that stand out with the current definition:

In addition to having complex constraints that can't always be resolved,
the clobber list seems to be missing %bx. By using numbered operands
rather than symbolic operands, the constraints are quite obnoxious to
refactor.

Having a large function be 99% inline asm is a code smell that this
function should simply be written in stand-alone out-of-line assembler.

Moving this to out of line assembler guarantees that the
compiler cannot inline calls to memmove.

This has been done previously for 64b:
commit 9599ec0471de ("x86-64, mem: Convert memmove() to assembly file
and fix return value bug")

That gives the opportunity for other cleanups like fixing the
inconsistent use of tabs vs spaces and instruction suffixes, and the
label 3 appearing twice.  Symbolic operands, local labels, and
additional comments would provide this code with a fresh coat of paint.

Finally, add a test that tickles the `rep movsl` implementation to test
it for correctness, since it has implicit operands.

<content type='text'>
This is needed to allow memory tools like KASAN and KMSAN see the memory
accesses from the checksum code.  Without CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM the tools
can't see memory accesses originating from handwritten assembly code.

For KASAN it's a question of detecting more bugs, for KMSAN using the C
implementation also helps avoid false positives originating from seemingly
uninitialized checksum values.

This is needed to allow memory tools like KASAN and KMSAN see the memory
accesses from the checksum code.  Without CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM the tools
can't see memory accesses originating from handwritten assembly code.

For KASAN it's a question of detecting more bugs, for KMSAN using the C
implementation also helps avoid false positives originating from seemingly
uninitialized checksum values.

This code puts an exception table entry on the PREFETCH instruction to
overwrite it with a JMP.d8 when it triggers an exception. Except of
course, our code is no longer writable, also SMP.

Instead of fixing this broken mess, simply take it out.

<title>x86: Add support for 0x22/0x23 port I/O configuration space</title>

Define macros and accessors for the configuration space addressed 
indirectly with an index register and a data register at the port I/O 
locations of 0x22 and 0x23 respectively.

This space is defined by the Intel MultiProcessor Specification for the 
IMCR register used to switch between the PIC and the APIC mode[1], by 
Cyrix processors for their configuration[2][3], and also some chipsets.

Given the lack of atomicity with the indirect addressing a spinlock is 
required to protect accesses, although for Cyrix processors it is enough 
if accesses are executed with interrupts locally disabled, because the 
registers are local to the accessing CPU, and IMCR is only ever poked at 
by the BSP and early enough for interrupts not to have been configured 
yet.  Therefore existing code does not have to change or use the new 
spinlock and neither it does.

Put the spinlock in a library file then, so that it does not get pulled 
unnecessarily for configurations that do not refer it.

Convert Cyrix accessors to wrappers so as to retain the brevity and 
clarity of the `getCx86' and `setCx86' calls.
