Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes for X86:

   - Ensure that the PIT is set up when the local APIC is disable or
     configured in legacy mode. This is caused by an ordering issue
     introduced in the recent changes which skip PIT initialization when
     the TSC and APIC frequencies are already known.

   - Handle malformed SRAT tables during early ACPI parsing which caused
     an infinite loop anda boot hang.

   - Fix a long standing race in the affinity setting code which affects
     PCI devices with non-maskable MSI interrupts. The problem is caused
     by the non-atomic writes of the MSI address (destination APIC id)
     and data (vector) fields which the device uses to construct the MSI
     message. The non-atomic writes are mandated by PCI.

     If both fields change and the device raises an interrupt after
     writing address and before writing data, then the MSI block
     constructs a inconsistent message which causes interrupts to be
     lost and subsequent malfunction of the device.

     The fix is to redirect the interrupt to the new vector on the
     current CPU first and then switch it over to the new target CPU.
     This allows to observe an eventually raised interrupt in the
     transitional stage (old CPU, new vector) to be observed in the APIC
     IRR and retriggered on the new target CPU and the new vector.

     The potential spurious interrupts caused by this are harmless and
     can in the worst case expose a buggy driver (all handlers have to
     be able to deal with spurious interrupts as they can and do happen
     for various reasons).

   - Add the missing suspend/resume mechanism for the HYPERV hypercall
     page which prevents resume hibernation on HYPERV guests. This
     change got lost before the merge window.

   - Mask the IOAPIC before disabling the local APIC to prevent
     potentially stale IOAPIC remote IRR bits which cause stale
     interrupt lines after resume"

<id>urn:sha1:5f2fb52fac15a8a8e10ce020dd532504a8abfc4e</id>
<content type='text'>
In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       -&gt;  always-y
  hostprogs-y  -&gt;  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Break an infinite loop when early parsing of the SRAT table is caused
by a subtable with zero length. Known to affect the ASUS WS X299 SAGE
motherboard with firmware version 1201 which has a large block of
zeros in its SRAT table. The kernel could boot successfully on this
board/firmware prior to the introduction of early parsing this table or
after a BIOS update.

 [ bp: Fixup whitespace damage and commit message. Make it return 0 to
   denote that there are no immovable regions because who knows what
   else is broken in this BIOS. ]

Condense the calculation of decompressed kernel start a little.

Committer notes:

before:

ebp = ebx - (init_size - _end)

after:

eax = (ebx + _end) - init_size

where in both ebx contains the temporary address the kernel is moved to
for in-place decompression.

The before and after difference in register state is %eax and %ebp
but that is immaterial because the compressed image is not built with
-mregparm, i.e., all arguments of the following extract_kernel() call
are passed on the stack.

<title>x86/boot/compressed: Relax sed symbol type regex for LLVM ld.lld</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bc310baf2ba381c648983c7f4748327f17324562</id>
<content type='text'>
The final build stage of the x86 kernel captures some symbol
addresses from the decompressor binary and copies them into zoffset.h.
It uses sed with a regular expression that matches the address, symbol
type and symbol name, and mangles the captured addresses and the names
of symbols of interest into #define directives that are added to
zoffset.h

The symbol type is indicated by a single letter, which we match
strictly: only letters in the set 'ABCDGRSTVW' are matched, even
though the actual symbol type is relevant and therefore ignored.

Commit bc7c9d620 ("efi/libstub/x86: Force 'hidden' visibility for
extern declarations") made a change to the way external symbol
references are classified, resulting in 'startup_32' now being
emitted as a hidden symbol. This prevents the use of GOT entries to
refer to this symbol via its absolute address, which recent toolchains
(including Clang based ones) already avoid by default, making this
change a no-op in the majority of cases.

However, as it turns out, the LLVM linker classifies such hidden
symbols as symbols with static linkage in fully linked ELF binaries,
causing tools such as NM to output a lowercase 't' rather than an upper
case 'T' for the type of such symbols. Since our sed expression only
matches upper case letters for the symbol type, the line describing
startup_32 is disregarded, resulting in a build error like the following

  arch/x86/boot/header.S:568:18: error: symbol 'ZO_startup_32' can not be
                                        undefined in a subtraction expression
  init_size: .long (0x00000000008fd000 - ZO_startup_32 +
                    (((0x0000000001f6361c + ((0x0000000001f6361c &gt;&gt; 8) + 65536)
                     - 0x00000000008c32e5) + 4095) &amp; ~4095)) # kernel initialization size

Given that we are only interested in the value of the symbol, let's match
any character in the set 'a-zA-Z' instead.
