[PATCH v2 00/11] x86: xen cpuid() cleanup

[PATCH v2 00/11] x86: xen cpuid() cleanup

[Juergen Gross]

Reduce special casing of xen_cpuid() by using cpu capabilities instead
of faked cpuid nodes.

This cleanup enables us remove the hypervisor specific set_cpu_features
callback as the same effect can be reached via
setup_[clear|force]_cpu_cap().

Removing the rest faked nodes from xen_cpuid() requires some more work
as the remaining cases (mwait leafs and extended topology info) have
to be handled at the consumer sides of this information.

Changes in V2:
- added several features to this scheme
- removed hypervisor specific set_cpu_features() callbacks

[PATCH v2 01/11] xen: set cpu capabilities from xen_start_kernel()

[Juergen Gross]

There is no need to set the same capabilities for each cpu
individually. This can easily be done for all cpus when starting the
kernel.

Looks reasonable to me.

As you are taking the time to change this logic, could we see about
making it work in a way which doesn't require maintaining
non-architectural hackary in the hypervisor?

(For anyone reading this who isn't familiar with the history,
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=blob;f=xen/arch/x86/cpuid.c;h=d359e090f33bb5793524186dc5f1c8bb620f17b3;hb=17cd6621688bce9972d9242611114fd7aba44c31#l726
ought to cover it)

In the presence of the bugs which caused this issue in the first place,
the best way to probe whether xsave is actually available is to try and
execute an xgetbv instruction, and use #UD as a signal that support
isn't actually available.

This also avoids Linux participating in the non-architectural behaviour
of forcing OXSAVE to be something other than a reflection of CR4.
