      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
   5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
   non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.

 - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
   memory encryption enabled.

 - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
   to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
   comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
   result prevents updating the MSR.

 - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
   to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
   code.

 - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
   fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
   functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
   code at all.

 - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
   are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
   code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
   enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.

 - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
   copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
   boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
   crashes.

 - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
   guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.

 - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
   kmemleak false positive

 - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for
   setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel.

 - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units.

 - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig

      efi: fix panic in kdump kernel · 62b71cd7
      Oleksandr Tymoshenko authored 
      Check if get_next_variable() is actually valid pointer before
calling it. In kdump kernel this method is set to NULL that causes
panic during the kexec-ed kernel boot.

Tested with QEMU and OVMF firmware.

      x86/efistub: Don't clear BSS twice in mixed mode · df7ecce8
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.

So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

      x86/efistub: Call mixed mode boot services on the firmware's stack · cefcd4fe
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack
that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.

In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.

Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit

  5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")

moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.

While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.

So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.
