Pull xen fixes from Juergen Gross:
- a cleanup of arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S removing the pre-built page
tables for Xen guests
- a small comment update
- another cleanup for Xen PVH guests mode
- fix an issue with Xen PV-devices backed by driver domains
* tag 'for-linus-7.0-rc3-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
xen/xenbus: better handle backend crash
xenbus: add xenbus_device parameter to xenbus_read_driver_state()
x86/PVH: Use boot params to pass RSDP address in start_info page
x86/xen: update outdated comment
xen/acpi-processor: fix _CST detection using undersized evaluation buffer
x86/xen: Build identity mapping page tables dynamically for XENPV
After commit e6e094e053 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from
boot params if available"), the RSDP address can be passed in boot
params. Therefore, store the RSDP address in start_info page into boot
params in the PVH entry instead of registering a different callback.
This removes an absolute reference during the PVH entry and is more
standardized.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The PVH entry is available for 32-bit KVM guests, and 32-bit KVM guests
do not depend on CONFIG_X86_PAE. However, mk_early_pgtbl_32() builds
different pagetables depending on whether CONFIG_X86_PAE is set.
Therefore, enabling PAE mode for 32-bit KVM guests without
CONFIG_X86_PAE being set would result in a boot failure during CR3
loading.

Right now e820__range_remove() has two parameters to control the
E820 type of the range removed:
extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type old_type, bool check_type);
Since E820 types start at 1, zero has a natural meaning of 'no type.
Consolidate the (old_type,check_type) parameters into a single (filter_type)
parameter:
extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type filter_type);
Note that both e820__mapped_raw_any() and e820__mapped_any()
already have such semantics for their 'type' parameter, although
it's currently not used with '0' by in-kernel code.
Also, the __e820__mapped_all() internal helper already has such
semantics implemented as well, and the e820__get_entry_type() API
uses the '0' type to such effect.
This simplifies not just e820__range_remove(), and synchronizes its
use of type filters with other E820 API functions, but simplifies
usage sites as well, such as parse_memmap_one(), beyond the reduction
of the number of parameters:
- else if (from)
- e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from, 1);
else
- e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, 0, 0);
+ e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from);
The generated code gets smaller as well:

Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.
Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.
All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.
- runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
runtime is a massice security issue.

OVMF EFI firmware needs access to the CA page to do SVSM protocol calls. For
example, when the SVSM implements an EFI variable store, such calls will be
necessary.
So add that to sev_es_efi_map_ghcbs() and also rename the function to reflect
the additional job it is doing now.

Multiple testers reported the following new warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:795
Which corresponds to:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && WARN_ON_ONCE(prev != &init_mm &&
!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next))))
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
So the problem is that unuse_temporary_mm() explicitly clears
that bit; and it has to, because otherwise the flush_tlb_mm_range() in
__text_poke() will try sending IPIs, which are not at all needed.
See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113095550.GBZzR3pg-RhJKPDazS@fat_crate.local/
Notably, the whole {,un}use_temporary_mm() thing requires preemption to
be disabled across it with the express purpose of keeping all TLB
nonsense CPU local, such that invalidations can also stay local etc.
However, as a side-effect, we violate this above WARN(), which sorta
makes sense for the normal case, but very much doesn't make sense here.
Change unuse_temporary_mm() to mark the mm_struct such that a further
exception (beyond init_mm) can be grafted, to keep the warning for all
the other cases.

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.
On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.
When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.
Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.

Minimum version of binutils required to compile the kernel is 2.25.
This version correctly handles the "rep" prefixes, so it is possible
to remove the semicolon, which was used to support ancient versions
of GNU as.
Due to the semicolon, the compiler considers "rep; insn" (or its
alternate "rep\n\tinsn" form) as two separate instructions. Removing
the semicolon makes asm length calculations more accurate, consequently
making scheduling and inlining decisions of the compiler more accurate.
Removing the semicolon also enables assembler checks involving "rep"
prefixes. Trying to assemble e.g. "rep addl %eax, %ebx" results in:
Error: invalid instruction `add' after `rep'

x86/platform/olpc: Remove unused variable 'len' in olpc_dt_compatible_match()
x86/platform/olpc-xo1-sci: Don't include <linux/pm_wakeup.h> directly
The following build warning highlights some unused code:

arch/x86/platform/olpc/olpc_dt.c:222:12: warning: variable ‘len’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
The compiler is right, the local variable 'len' is set but never used,
so remove it.

The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because
older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed
offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a
normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked
at a specific address.
x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the
initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other
architectures. Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address
width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended). As long as the kernel text,
modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the
negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

Instead of marking individual interrupts as safe to be migrated in
arbitrary contexts, mark the interrupt chips, which require the interrupt
to be moved in actual interrupt context, with the new IRQCHIP_MOVE_DEFERRED
flag. This makes more sense because this is a per interrupt chip property
and not restricted to individual interrupts.
That flips the logic from the historical opt-out to a opt-in model. This is
simpler to handle for other architectures, which default to unrestricted
affinity setting. It also allows to cleanup the redundant core logic
significantly.
All interrupt chips, which belong to a top-level domain sitting directly on
top of the x86 vector domain are marked accordingly, unless the related
setup code marks the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT, i.e. XEN.
No functional change intended.

Kexec bypasses EFI's switch to virtual mode. In exchange, it has its own
routine, kexec_enter_virtual_mode(), which replays the mappings made by
the original kernel. Unfortunately, that function fails to reinstate
EFI's memory attributes, which would've otherwise been set after
entering virtual mode. Remediate this by calling
efi_runtime_update_mappings() within kexec's routine.

Drop support for the EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE. It was a failed, short-lived
experiment that broke the boot both on Linux and Windows, and was
replaced by the EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE shortly after.

pcim_iomap_table() and pcim_request_regions() have been deprecated in
e354bb84a4 ("PCI: Deprecate pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap_regions_request_all()") and
d140f80f60 ("PCI: Deprecate pcim_iomap_regions() in favor of pcim_iomap_region()"),
respectively.
Replace these functions with pcim_iomap_region().
Additionally, pass the actual driver name to pcim_iomap_region() instead of
the previous pci_name(), since the @name parameter should always reflect which
driver owns a region.
