   - Fix vmapped stack synchronization on systems with 4-level paging

     which made the pgd synchronization logic to fail and causing double
     faults.

   - Add a missing sanity check in the vmalloc_fault() logic on 5-level
     paging systems.

   - Bring back protection against accessing a freed initrd in the
     microcode loader which was lost by a wrong merge conflict
     resolution.

   - Extend the Broadwell micro code loading sanity check.

   - Add a missing ENDPROC annotation in ftrace assembly code which
     makes ORC unhappy.

   - Prevent loading the AMD power module on !AMD platforms. The load
     itself is uncritical, but an unload attempt results in a kernel
     crash.

On a 5-level kernel, if a non-init mm has a top-level entry, it needs to
match init_mm's, but the vmalloc_fault() code skipped over the BUG_ON()
that would have checked it.

While we're at it, get rid of the rather confusing 4-level folded "pgd"
logic.

Neil Berrington reported a double-fault on a VM with 768GB of RAM that uses
large amounts of vmalloc space with PTI enabled.

The cause is that load_new_mm_cr3() was never fixed to take the 5-level pgd
folding code into account, so, on a 4-level kernel, the pgd synchronization
logic compiles away to exactly nothing.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't trigger with nopti.  I assume this is
because the kernel is mapped with global pages if we boot with nopti.  The
sequence of operations when we create a new task is that we first load its
mm while still running on the old stack (which crashes if the old stack is
unmapped in the new mm unless the TLB saves us), then we call
prepare_switch_to(), and then we switch to the new stack.
prepare_switch_to() pokes the new stack directly, which will populate the
mapping through vmalloc_fault().  I assume that we're getting lucky on
non-PTI systems -- the old stack's TLB entry stays alive long enough to
make it all the way through prepare_switch_to() and switch_to() so that we
make it to a valid stack.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "With the new ORC unwinder, ftrace stack tracing became disfunctional.

  One was that ORC didn't know how to handle the ftrace callbacks in
  general (which Josh fixed).

  The other was that ORC would just bail if it hit a dynamically
  allocated trampoline. Which means all ftrace stack tracing that
  happens from the function tracer would produce no results (that
  includes killing the max stack size tracer). I added a check to the
  ORC unwinder to see if the trampoline belonged to ftrace, and if it
  did, use the orc entry of the static trampoline that was used to
  create the dynamic one (it would be identical).

  Finally, I noticed that the skip values of the stack tracing were out
  of whack. I went through and fixed them up"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "With the new ORC unwinder, ftrace stack tracing became disfunctional.

  One was that ORC didn't know how to handle the ftrace callbacks in
  general (which Josh fixed).

  The other was that ORC would just bail if it hit a dynamically
  allocated trampoline. Which means all ftrace stack tracing that
  happens from the function tracer would produce no results (that
  includes killing the max stack size tracer). I added a check to the
  ORC unwinder to see if the trampoline belonged to ftrace, and if it
  did, use the orc entry of the static trampoline that was used to
  create the dynamic one (it would be identical).

  Finally, I noticed that the skip values of the stack tracing were out
  of whack. I went through and fixed them up"

Commit 24c2503255d3 ("x86/microcode: Do not access the initrd after it has
been freed") fixed attempts to access initrd from the microcode loader
after it has been freed. However, a similar KASAN warning was reported
(stack trace edited):

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in find_cpio_data+0x9b5/0xa50

After some investigation, it turned out that a merge was done using the
wrong side to resolve, leading to picking up the previous state, before
the 24c2503255d3 fix. Therefore the Fixes tag below contains a merge
commit.

Revert the mismerge by catching the save_microcode_in_initrd_amd()
retval and thus letting the function exit with the last return statement
so that initrd_gone can be set to true.

<title>x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading further with LLC size check</title>

Commit b94b73733171 ("x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading with a
revision check") reduced the impact of erratum BDF90 for Broadwell model
79.

The impact can be reduced further by checking the size of the last level
cache portion per core.

Tony: "The erratum says the problem only occurs on the large-cache SKUs.
So we only need to avoid the update if we are on a big cache SKU that is
also running old microcode."

For more details, see erratum BDF90 in document #334165 (Intel Xeon
Processor E7-8800/4800 v4 Product Family Specification Update) from
September 2017.
