Use CC_SET()/CC_OUT() and static_cpu_has(). This produces code good
enough to eliminate ad hoc use of alternatives in <asm/archrandom.h>,
greatly simplifying the code.
While we are at it, make x86_init_rdrand() compile out completely if
we don't need it.

v2: fix a conflict between <linux/random.h> and <asm/archrandom.h>
discovered by Ingo Molnar. There are a few places in x86-specific
code where we need all of <arch/archrandom.h> even when
CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM is disabled, so <linux/random.h> does not
suffice.

- Use the more current logging style pr_<level>(...) instead of the old
printk(KERN_<LEVEL> ...).
- Convert pr_warning() to pr_warn().

x86_init_rdrand() was added with 2 goals:
1. Sanity check that the built-in-self-test circuit on the Digital
Random Number Generator (DRNG) is not complaining. As RDRAND
HW self-checks on every invocation, this goal is achieved
by simply invoking RDRAND and checking its return code.
2. Force a full re-seed of the random number generator.
This was done out of paranoia to benefit the most un-sophisticated
DRNG implementation conceivable in the architecture,
an implementation that does not exist, and unlikely ever will.
This worst-case full-re-seed is achieved by invoking
a 64-bit RDRAND 8192 times.
Unfortunately, this worst-case re-seed costs O(1,000us).
Magnifying this cost, it is done from identify_cpu(), which is the
synchronous critical path to bring a processor on-line -- repeated
for every logical processor in the system at boot and resume from S3.
As it is very expensive, and of highly dubious value, we delete the
worst-case re-seed from the kernel.
We keep the 1st goal -- sanity check the hardware, and mark it absent
if it complains.
This change reduces the cost of x86_init_rdrand() by a factor of 1,000x,
to O(1us) from O(1,000us).

One can logically expect that when the user has specified "nordrand",
the user doesn't want any use of the CPU random number generator,
neither RDRAND nor RDSEED, so disable both.

Adds potential sources of randomness: RDRAND, RDTSC, or the i8254.
This moves the pre-alternatives inline rdrand function into the header so
both pieces of code can use it. Availability of RDRAND is then controlled
by CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, if someone wants to disable it even for kASLR.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

If the CPU declares that RDRAND is available, go through a guranteed
reseed sequence, and make sure that it is actually working (producing
data.) If it does not, disable the CPU feature flag.
Allow RDRAND to be disabled on the command line (as opposed to at
compile time) for a user who has special requirements with regards to
random numbers.
