Some future AMD processors have feature named "CPPC Performance
Priority" which lets userspace specify different floor performance
levels for different CPUs. The platform firmware takes these different
floor performance levels into consideration while throttling the CPUs
under power/thermal constraints. The presence of this feature is
indicated by bit 16 of the EDX register for CPUID leaf
0x80000007. More details can be found in AMD Publication titled "AMD64
Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Performance
Priority" Revision 1.10.
Define a new feature bit named X86_FEATURE_CPPC_PERF_PRIO to map to
CPUID 0x80000007.EDX[16].

msr_set_bit() takes a bit number to set but MSR_ZEN2_SPECTRAL_CHICKEN_BIT
is a bit mask. The usual pattern that code uses is a _BIT-named type
macro instead of a mask.
So convert it to a bit number to reflect that.
Also, msr_set_bit() already does the reading and checking whether the
bit needs to be set so use that instead of a local variable.
Fixup tabbing while at it.

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Dave Hansen:
"The biggest thing of note here is Linear Address Space Separation
(LASS). It represents the first time I can think of that the
upper=>kernel/lower=>user address space convention is actually
recognized by the hardware on x86. It ensures that userspace can not
even get the hardware to _start_ page walks for the kernel address
space. This, of course, is a really nice generic side channel defense.
This is really only a down payment on LASS support. There are still
some details to work out in its interaction with EFI calls and
vsyscall emulation. For now, LASS is disabled if either of those
features is compiled in (which is almost always the case).
There's also one straggler commit in here which converts an
under-utilized AMD CPU feature leaf into a generic Linux-defined leaf
so more feature can be packed in there.

- Enable Linear Address Space Separation (LASS)

Quotation marks in cpufeatures.h comments are special and when the
comment begins with a quoted string, that string lands in /proc/cpuinfo,
turning it into a user-visible one.

drop the quoted "kernel" in there to avoid confusion. And while at it,
simply change the description into what the LKGS instruction does for

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
- Use fdinfo to expose the sysfs path of a device represented by a vfio
device file (Alex Mastro)
- Mark vfio-fsl-mc, vfio-amba, and the reset functions for
vfio-platform for removal as these are either orphaned or believed to
be unused (Alex Williamson)
- Add reviewers for vfio-platform to save it from also being marked for
removal (Mostafa Saleh, Pranjal Shrivastava)
- VFIO selftests, including basic sanity testing and minimal userspace
drivers for testing against real hardware. This is also expected to
provide integration with KVM selftests for KVM-VFIO interfaces (David
Matlack, Josh Hilke)

(Nipun Gupta)
- Fix reference leak in hisi_acc (Miaoqian Lin)
- Use consistent return for unsupported device feature (Alex Mastro)

resolve stalled interrupt on ppc64 (Timothy Pearson)
- Enable GB300 in nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver (Tushar Dave)

Pull x86 instruction decoder update from Borislav Petkov:
- Add instruction decoding support for the XOP-prefixed instruction set
present on the AMD Bulldozer uarch
[ These instructions don't normally happen, but a X86_NATIVE_CPU build
on a bulldozer host can make the compiler then use these unusual
instruction encodings ]

"Core perf code updates:
- Convert mmap() related reference counts to refcount_t. This is in
reaction to the recently fixed refcount bugs, which could have been
detected earlier and could have mitigated the bug somewhat (Thomas
Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and simplify the callchain code, in preparation for
sframes (Steven Rostedt, Josh Poimboeuf)
Uprobes updates:
- Add support to optimize usdt probes on x86-64, which gives a
substantial speedup (Jiri Olsa)
- Cleanups and fixes on x86 (Peter Zijlstra)

The minimum supported GCC version is 8.1, which supports flag output operands
and always defines __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ macro.
Remove code depending on __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ and use the "=@ccCOND" flag
output operand directly.
Use the equivalent "=@ccz" instead of "=@cce" flag output operand for
CMPXCHG8B and CMPXCHG16B instructions. These instructions set a single flag
bit - the Zero flag - and "=@ccz" is used to distinguish the CC user from
comparison instructions, where set ZERO flag indeed means that the values are
equal.

IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PEBS_TIMING_INFO[bit 17] is introduced to
indicate whether timed PEBS is supported. Timed PEBS adds a new "retired
latency" field in basic info group to show the timing info. Please find
detailed information about timed PEBS in section 8.4.1 "Timed Processor
Event Based Sampling" of "Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features".
This patch adds PERF_CAP_PEBS_TIMING_INFO flag and KVM module leverages
this flag to expose timed PEBS feature to guest.
Moreover, opportunistically refine the indents and make the macros
share consistent indents.

AMD Cyan Skillfish (Family 17h, Model 47h, Stepping 0h) has an error that
causes RDSEED to always return 0xffffffff, while RDRAND works correctly.
Mask the RDSEED cap for this CPU so that both /proc/cpuinfo and direct CPUID
read report RDSEED as unavailable.
