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.

In commit 2e044911be ("x86/traps: Decode 0xEA instructions as #UD")
FineIBT starts using 0xEA as an invalid instruction like UD2. But
insn decoder always returns the length of "0xea" instruction as 7
because it does not check the (i64) superscript.
The x86 instruction decoder should also decode 0xEA on x86-64 as
a one-byte invalid instruction by decoding the "(i64)" superscript tag.
This stops decoding instruction which has (i64) but does not have (o64)
superscript in 64-bit mode at opcode and skips other fields.
With this change, insn_decoder_test says 0xea is 1 byte length if
x86-64 (-y option means 64-bit):
$ printf "0:\tea\t\n" | insn_decoder_test -y -v
insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 1 instructions

Per the APM [1]:
Some processors, identified by CPUID Fn8000_0008_EBX[IbrsSameMode]
(bit 19) = 1, provide additional speculation limits. For these
processors, when IBRS is set, indirect branch predictions are not
influenced by any prior indirect branches, regardless of mode (CPL
and guest/host) and regardless of whether the prior indirect branches
occurred before or after the setting of IBRS. This is referred to as
Same Mode IBRS.
Define this feature bit, which will be used by KVM to determine if an
IBPB is required on nested VM-exits in SVM.

Whack this thing because:
- the "unknown" handling is done only for this vuln and not for the
others
- it doesn't do anything besides reporting things differently. It
doesn't apply any mitigations - it is simply causing unnecessary
complications to the code which don't bring anything besides
maintenance overhead to what is already a very nasty spaghetti pile
- all the currently unaffected CPUs can also be in "unknown" status so
there's no need for special handling here
so get rid of it.

perf record
-----------
* Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information. The latency
profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than cpu-time. By
tracking context switches, it can weight samples and find which part
of the code contributed more to the execution latency.
The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the portion
of serial executions.
For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide profiling
is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable this.
$ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf
I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
it'd show something like below:
$ perf report -F overhead,comm
...
#
# Overhead Command
# ........ ...............
#
78.97% cc1
6.54% python3
4.21% shellcheck
3.28% ld
1.80% as
1.37% cc1plus
0.80% sh
0.62% clang
0.56% gcc
0.44% perl
0.39% make
...
The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual compiler.
However it runs in parallel so its contribution to latency may be less
than that. Now, perf report will show both overhead and latency (if
--latency was given at record time) like below:
$ perf report -s comm
...
#
# Overhead Latency Command
# ........ ........ ...............
#
78.97% 48.66% cc1
6.54% 25.68% python3
4.21% 0.39% shellcheck
3.28% 13.70% ld
1.80% 2.56% as
1.37% 3.08% cc1plus
0.80% 0.98% sh
0.62% 0.61% clang
0.56% 0.33% gcc
0.44% 1.71% perl
0.39% 0.83% make
...
You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and ld
contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by latency.
$ perf report --latency -s comm
perf report
-----------
* As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new output
field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a result
from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized but
contained some serial portions.
$ perf report -s parallelism
...
#
# Overhead Latency Parallelism
# ........ ........ ...........
#
16.95% 1.54% 62
13.38% 1.24% 61
12.50% 70.47% 1
11.81% 1.06% 63
7.59% 0.71% 60
4.33% 12.20% 2
3.41% 0.33% 59
2.05% 0.18% 64
1.75% 1.09% 9
1.64% 1.85% 5
...
* Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol table
inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.
perf annotate
-------------
* Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
usual annotate output. Instead of focusing on data structure, it
shows code annotation together with data type it accesses in case the
instruction refers to a memory location (and it was able to resolve
the target data type). Currently it only works with --stdio.
$ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type

perf trace
----------
* Support syscall tracing for different ABI. For example it can trace
system calls for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernel transparently.
* Add --summary-mode=total option to show global syscall summary. The
default is 'thread' to show per-thread syscall summary.
Python support
--------------
* Add more interfaces to 'perf' module to parse events, and config,
enable or disable the event list properly so that it can implement
basic functionalities purely in Python. There is an example code
for these new interfaces in python/tracepoint.py.
* Add mypy and pylint support to enable build time checking. Fix
some code based on the findings from these tools.
Internals
---------
* Introduce io_dir__readdir() API to make directory traveral (usually
for proc or sysfs) efficient with less memory footprint.
JSON vendor events
------------------
* Add events and metrics for ARM Neoverse N3 and V3
* Update events and metrics on various Intel CPUs
* Add/update events for a number of SiFive processors

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf record:
- Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information.
The latency profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than
cpu-time. By tracking context switches, it can weight samples and
find which part of the code contributed more to the execution
latency.
The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the
portion of serial executions.
For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide
profiling is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable
this.
$ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf
I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
it'd show something like below:
$ perf report -F overhead,comm
...
#
# Overhead Command
# ........ ...............
#
78.97% cc1
6.54% python3
4.21% shellcheck
3.28% ld
1.80% as
1.37% cc1plus
0.80% sh
0.62% clang
0.56% gcc
0.44% perl
0.39% make
...
The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual
compiler. However it runs in parallel so its contribution to
latency may be less than that. Now, perf report will show both
overhead and latency (if --latency was given at record time) like
below:
$ perf report -s comm
...
#
# Overhead Latency Command
# ........ ........ ...............
#
78.97% 48.66% cc1
6.54% 25.68% python3
4.21% 0.39% shellcheck
3.28% 13.70% ld
1.80% 2.56% as
1.37% 3.08% cc1plus
0.80% 0.98% sh
0.62% 0.61% clang
0.56% 0.33% gcc
0.44% 1.71% perl
0.39% 0.83% make
...
You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and
ld contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by
latency.
$ perf report --latency -s comm
perf report:
- As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new
output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a
result from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized
but contained some serial portions.
$ perf report -s parallelism
...
#
# Overhead Latency Parallelism
# ........ ........ ...........
#
16.95% 1.54% 62
13.38% 1.24% 61
12.50% 70.47% 1
11.81% 1.06% 63
7.59% 0.71% 60
4.33% 12.20% 2
3.41% 0.33% 59
2.05% 0.18% 64
1.75% 1.09% 9
1.64% 1.85% 5
...
- Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol
table inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.
perf annotate:
- Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
usual annotate output.
Instead of focusing on data structure, it shows code annotation
together with data type it accesses in case the instruction refers
to a memory location (and it was able to resolve the target data
type). Currently it only works with --stdio.
$ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type

Update kcpuid's CSV file to version 2.3, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.
Summary of the v2.3 changes:
* Per H. Peter Anvin's feedback, leaf 0x3 is not unique to Transmeta as
the CSV file earlier claimed. Since leaf 0x3's format differs between
Intel and Transmeta, and the project does not yet support having the
same CPUID bitfield with varying interpretations across vendors, leaf
0x3 is removed for now. Given that Intel discontinued support for PSN
from Pentium 4 onward, and Linux force disables it on early boot for
privacy concerns, this should have minimal impact.
* Leaf 0x80000021: Make bitfield IDs and descriptions coherent with each
other. Remove "_support" from bitfield IDs, as no other leaf has such
convention.

Update kcpuid's CSV file to version v2.0, as generated by x86-cpuid-db.
Summary of the v2.0 changes:
* Introduce the leaves:
- Leaf 0x00000003, Transmeta Processor serial number
- Leaf 0x80860000, Transmeta max leaf number + CPU vendor ID
- Leaf 0x80860001, Transmeta extended CPU information
- Leaf 0x80860002, Transmeta Code Morphing Software (CMS) enumeration
- Leaf 0x80860003 => 0x80860006, Transmeta CPU information string
- Leaf 0x80860007, Transmeta "live" CPU information
- Leaf 0xc0000000, Centaur/Zhaoxin's max leaf number
- Leaf 0xc0000001, Centaur/Zhaoxin's extended CPU features
* Add a 0x prefix for leaves 0x0 to 0x9. This maintains consistency with
the rest of the CSV entries.
* Add the new bitfields:
- Leaf 0x7: nmi_src, NMI-source reporting
- Leaf 0x80000001: e_base_type and e_mmx (Transmeta)
* Update the section headers for leaves 0x80000000 and 0x80000005 to
indicate that they are also valid for Transmeta.
Notes:
Leaf 0x3, being not unique to Transmeta, is handled at the generated
CSV file v2.3 update, later in this patch queue.
Leaf 0x80000001 EDX:23 bit, e_mmx, is also available on AMD. A bugfix
is already merged at x86-cpuid-db's -tip for that, and it will be part
of the project's upcoming v2.4 release.:

Next commits will introduce vendor-specific CPUID ranges like Transmeta's
0x8086000 range and Centaur's 0xc0000000.
Initially explicit vendor detection was implemented, but it turned out to
be not strictly necessary. As Dave Hansen noted, even established tools
like cpuid(1) just tries all ranges indices, and see if the CPU responds
back with something sensible.
Do something similar at setup_cpuid_range(). Query the range's index,
and check the maximum range function value returned. If it's within an
expected interval of [range_index, range_index + MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET],
accept the range as valid and further query its leaves.
Set MAX_RANGE_INDEX_OFFSET to a heuristic of 0xff. That should be
sensible enough since all the ranges covered by x86-cpuid-db XML database
are:
0x00000000 0x00000023
0x40000000 0x40000000
0x80000000 0x80000026
0x80860000 0x80860007
0xc0000000 0xc0000001
At setup_cpuid_range(), if the range's returned maximum function was not
sane, mark it as invalid by setting its number of leaves, range->nr, to
zero.
Introduce the for_each_valid_cpuid_range() iterator instead of sprinkling
"range->nr != 0" checks throughout the code.

Returning a CPUID range that is invalid on the CPU for the passed index

Extend the CPUID index mask macro from 0x80000000 to 0xffff0000. This
accommodates the Transmeta (0x80860000) and Centaur (0xc0000000) index
ranges which will be later added.
This also automatically sets CPUID_FUNCTION_MASK to 0x0000ffff, which is
the actual correct value. Use that macro, instead of the 0xffff literal
where appropriate.

The kcpuid code assumes only two CPUID index ranges, standard (0x0...)
and extended (0x80000000...).
Since additional CPUID index ranges will be added in further commits,
replace the "is_ext" boolean with enumeration-based range classification.
Collect all CPUID ranges in a structured array and introduce helper
macros to iterate over it. Use such helpers throughout the code.

Use the __cpuid_count() intrinsic, provided by GCC and LLVM, instead of
rolling a manual version. Both of the kernel's minimum required GCC
version (5.1) and LLVM version (13.0.1) supports it, and it is heavily
used across standard Linux user-space tooling.
This also makes the CPUID call sites more readable.

Since commit e8c07082a8 ("Kbuild: move to -std=gnu11") and the kernel
allows C99-style variable declarations inside of a for() loop.
Adjust the kcpuid code accordingly.
Note, this helps readability as some of the kcpuid functions have a huge
list of variable declarations on top.
Note, remove the empty lines before cpuid() invocations as it is clearer
to have their parameter initialization and the actual call in one block.

parse_line() returns an integer but its caller ignored it. Change the
function signature to return void.
While at it, adjust some of the "Skip line" comments for readability.

The global variable "is_amd" is written to, but is not read from
anywhere. Remove it.

kcpuid --all --detail claims that all bits belong to ECX, in the form
of the header CPUID_${leaf}_ECX[${subleaf}].
Print the correct register name for all CPUID output.
kcpuid --detail also dumps the raw register value if a leaf/subleaf is
covered in the CSV file, but a certain output register within it is not
covered by any CSV entry. Since register names are now properly printed,
and since the CSV file has become exhaustive using x86-cpuid-db, remove
that value dump as it pollutes the output.
While at it, rename decode_bits() to show_reg(). This makes it match its
show_range(), show_leaf() and show_reg_header() counterparts.

For each CPUID leaf/subleaf query, save the output in an output[] array
instead of spelling it out using EAX to EDX variables.
This allows the CPUID output to be accessed programmatically instead of
calling decode_bits() four times. Loop-based access also allows "kcpuid
--detail" to print the correct output register names in next commit.

Refactor usage() to accept an exit code parameter and exit the program
after usage output. This streamlines its callers' code paths.
Remove the "Invalid option" error message since getopt_long(3) already
emits a similar message by default.
