<title>kgdb, x86_64: fix PS CS SS registers in gdb serial</title>

<content type='text'>
On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known
as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities.

This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to
account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets.

Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping
threads.

Impact: System hang when AMD C1E machines switch into C2/C3

AMD C1E enabled systems do not work with normal ACPI C-states 
even if the BIOS is advertising them. Limit the C-states to 
C1 for the ACPI processor idle code.

<title>x86: prevent stale state of c1e_mask across CPU offline/online</title>

Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems.

When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast
mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the
broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the
corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs
have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#&amp; machines
we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle.

Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead.

The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family &gt;= 6.
Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware
and software, don't obey this dictum.  Instead, probe for NOPL
directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD.

Impact: bogus error codes (+other?) on x86-64

The rdmsr_safe/wrmsr_safe routines have macros for the handling of the
edx:eax arguments.  Those macros take a variable number of assembly
arguments.  This is rather inherently incompatible with using
%digit-style escapes in the inline assembly; replace those with
%[name]-style escapes.

This fixes miscompilation on x86-64, which at the very least caused
bogus return values.  It is possible that this could also corrupt the
return value; I am not sure.
