Variable Length Arrays In Structs (VLAIS) is not supported by Clang, and
frowned upon by others.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/23/500

Here, the VLAIS was used because the size of the bitmap returned from
xen_mc_entry() depended on possibly (based on kernel configuration)
runtime sized data. Rather than declaring args as a VLAIS then calling
sizeof on *args, we calculate the appropriate sizeof args manually.
Further, we can get rid of the #ifdef's and rely on num_possible_cpus()
(thanks to a helpful checkpatch warning from an earlier version of this
patch).

Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
  patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
  but a late fixup made that moot.

   - Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
     address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
     with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
     diagnose failures.

     The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
     that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
     32bit wraparounds.

   - Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
     but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
     the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
     the fixmap code

   - A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
     the TLB functions should be used for what.

   - Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
     more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
     confusing.

   - Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
     which is only invoked on fork().

   - Make vysycall more robust.

   - A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
     PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
     C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
     of sync with the index enums.

   - Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.

   - Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
     integration simpler and header files less convoluted.

   - Documentation fixes and clarifications"

Put the cpu_entry_area into a separate P4D entry. The fixmap gets too big
and 0-day already hit a case where the fixmap PTEs were cleared by
cleanup_highmap().

Aside of that the fixmap API is a pain as it's all backwards.

Commit f5775e0b6116 ("x86/xen: discard RAM regions above the maximum
reservation") left host memory not assigned to dom0 as available for
memory hotplug.

Unfortunately this also meant that those regions could be used by
others. Specifically, commit fa564ad96366 ("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR
on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f, 60-7f)") may try to map those
addresses as MMIO.

To prevent this mark unallocated host memory as E820_TYPE_UNUSABLE (thus
effectively reverting f5775e0b6116) and keep track of that region as
a hostmem resource that can be used for the hotplug.

A few thousand such pages are usually left around due to the re-use of
L1 tables having been provided by the hypervisor (Dom0) or tool stack
(DomU). Set NX in the direct map variant, which needs to be done in L2
due to the dual use of the re-used L1s.

For x86_configure_nx() to actually do what it is supposed to do, call
get_cpu_cap() first. This was broken by commit 4763ed4d45 ("x86, mm:
Clean up and simplify NX enablement") when switching away from the
direct EFER read.

Pull x86 syscall entry code changes for PTI from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes here are Andy Lutomirski's changes to switch the
  x86-64 entry code to use the 'per CPU entry trampoline stack'. This,
  besides helping fix KASLR leaks (the pending Page Table Isolation
  (PTI) work), also robustifies the x86 entry code"

<title>x86/entry/64: Make cpu_entry_area.tss read-only</title>

The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS
is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR.  Make it
read-only on x86_64.

On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task
switches, and we use a task gate for double faults.  I'd also be
nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations
without double fault handling.

[ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO.  So
  	it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel
  	might have been creative in that area. Still waiting for
  	confirmation. ]
