      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Another set of x86 related updates:
      
         - Fix the long broken x32 version of the IPC user space headers which
           was noticed by Arnd Bergman in course of his ongoing y2038 work.
           GLIBC seems to have non broken private copies of these headers so
           this went unnoticed.
      
         - Two microcode fixlets which address some more fallout from the
           recent modifications in that area:
      
            - Unconditionally save the microcode patch, which was only saved
              when CPU_HOTPLUG was enabled causing failures in the late
              loading mechanism
      
            - Make the later loader synchronization finally work under all
              circumstances. It was exiting early and causing timeout failures
              due to a missing synchronization point.
      
         - Do not use mwait_play_dead() on AMD systems to prevent excessive
           power consumption as the CPU cannot go into deep power states from
           there.
      
         - Address an annoying sparse warning due to lost type qualifiers of
           the vmemmap and vmalloc base address constants.
      
         - Prevent reserving crash kernel region on Xen PV as this leads to
           the wrong perception that crash kernels actually work there which
           is not the case. Xen PV has its own crash mechanism handled by the
           hypervisor.
      
         - Add missing TLB cpuid values to the table to make the printout on
           certain machines correct.
      
         - Enumerate the new CLDEMOTE instruction
      
         - Fix an incorrect SPDX identifier
      
         - Remove stale macros"

      <linux/stringhash.h>: fix end_name_hash() for 64bit long · 19b9ad67
      Amir Goldstein authored
      The comment claims that this helper will try not to loose bits, but for
      64bit long it looses the high bits before hashing 64bit long into 32bit
      int.  Use the helper hash_long() to do the right thing for 64bit long.
      For 32bit long, there is no change.
      
      All the callers of end_name_hash() either assign the result to
      qstr->hash, which is u32 or return the result as an int value (e.g.
      full_name_hash()).  Change the helper return type to int to conform to
      its users.
      
      [ It took me a while to apply this, because my initial reaction to it
        was - incorrectly - that it could make for slower code.
      
        After having looked more at it, I take back all my complaints about
        the patch, Amir was right and I was mis-reading things or just being
        stupid.
      
        I also don't worry too much about the possible performance impact of
        this on 64-bit, since most architectures that actually care about
        performance end up not using this very much (the dcache code is the
        most performance-critical, but the word-at-a-time case uses its own
        hashing anyway).
      
        So this ends up being mostly used for filesystems that do their own
        degraded hashing (usually because they want a case-insensitive
        comparison function).
      
        A _tiny_ worry remains, in that not everybody uses DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS,
        and then this potentially makes things more expensive on 64-bit
        architectures with slow or lacking multipliers even for the normal
        case.
      
        That said, realistically the only such architecture I can think of is
        PA-RISC. Nobody really cares about performance on that, it's more of a
        "look ma, I've got warts^W an odd machine" platform.
      
        So the patch is fine, and all my initial worries were just misplaced
        from not looking at this properly.   - Linus ]
