This patch cleans up some code in xstate offsets computation in xsave
area:
1. It changes xstate_comp_offsets as an array. This avoids possible NULL pointer
caused by possible kmalloc() failure during boot time.
2. It changes the global variable xstate_comp_sizes to a local variable because
it is used only in setup_xstate_comp().
3. It adds missing offsets for FP and SSE in xsave area.

In standard form, each state is saved in the xsave area in fixed offset.
But in compacted form, offset of each saved state only can be calculated during
run time because some xstates may not be enabled and saved.
We define kernel API get_xsave_addr() returns address of a given state saved in a xsave area.
It can be called in kernel to get address of each xstate in xsave area in
either standard format or compacted format.
It's useful when kernel wants to directly access each state in xsave area.

Since boot_cpu_data and cpu capabilities are not enabled yet during early
booting time, alternative can not be used in some functions to access xsave
area. Therefore, we define two new functions xrstor_state_booting() and
xsave_state_booting() to access xsave area just during early booting time.
xrstor_state_booting restores xstate from xsave area during early booting time.
xsave_state_booting saves xstate to xsave area during early booting time.
The two functions are similar to xrstor_state and xsave_state respectively.
But the two functions don't use alternatives because alternatives are not
enabled when they are called in such early booting time.
xrstor_state_booting is called only by functions defined as __init. So it's
defined as __init and will be removed from memory after booting time. There
is no extra memory cost caused by this function during running time.
But because xsave_state_booting can be called by run-time function __save_fpu(),
it's not defined as __init and will stay in memory during running time although
it will not be called anymore during running time. It is not ideal to
have this function stay in memory during running time. But it's a pretty small
function and the memory cost will be small. By doing in this way, we can
avoid to change a lot of code to just remove this small function and save a
bit memory for running time.

We use legacy xsave/xrstor to save and restore standard form of xsave area
in user space context. No xsaveopt or xsaves is used here for two reasons.
First, we don't want to use modified optimization which is implemented in
xsaveopt and xsaves because xrstor/xrstors might track a wrong user space
application.
Secondly, we don't use compacted format of xsave area for backward
compatibility because legacy user space applications only don't understand
the compacted format of the xsave area.
Using standard form of the xsave area may allocate more memory for
user context than compacted form, but preserves compatibility with
legacy applications. Furthermore, even with holes, the relevant cache
lines don't get touched and thus the performance impact is limited.

The XSAVE area header is changed to support both compacted format and
standard format of xsave area.
The XSAVE header of an xsave area comprises the 64 bytes starting at offset
512 from the area base address:
- Bytes 7:0 of the xsave header is a state-component bitmap called
xstate_bv. It identifies the state components in the xsave area.
- Bytes 15:8 of the xsave header is a state-component bitmap called
xcomp_bv. It is used as follows:
- xcomp_bv[63] indicates the format of the extended region of
the xsave area. If it is clear, the standard format is used.
If it is set, the compacted format is used.
- xcomp_bv[62:0] indicate which features (starting at feature 2)
have space allocated for them in the compacted format.
- Bytes 63:16 of the xsave header are reserved.

alternative_input_2() replaces old instruction with new instructions with
input based on two features.
In alternative_input_2(oldinstr, newinstr1, feature1, newinstr2, feature2,
input...),
feature2 has higher priority to replace oldinstr than feature1.
If CPU has feature2, newinstr2 replaces oldinstr and newinstr2 is
executed during run time.
If CPU doesn't have feature2, but it has feature1, newinstr1 replaces oldinstr
and newinstr1 is executed during run time.
If CPU doesn't have feature2 and feature1, oldinstr is executed during run
time.

This patch adds a kernel parameter noxsaves to disable xsaves/xrstors feature.
The kernel will fall back to use xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restor
xstates. By using this parameter, xsave area occupies more memory because
standard form of xsave area in xsaveopt/xrstor occupies more memory than
compacted form of xsave area.
This patch adds a description of the kernel parameter noxsaveopt in doc.
The code to support the parameter noxsaveopt has been in the kernel before.
This patch just adds the description of this parameter in the doc.

Detect the xsaveopt, xsavec, xgetbv, and xsaves features in processor extended
state enumberation sub-leaf (eax=0x0d, ecx=1):
Bit 00: XSAVEOPT is available
Bit 01: Supports XSAVEC and the compacted form of XRSTOR if set
Bit 02: Supports XGETBV with ECX = 1 if set
Bit 03: Supports XSAVES/XRSTORS and IA32_XSS if set
The above features are defined in the new word 10 in cpu features.
The IA32_XSS MSR (index DA0H) contains a state-component bitmap that specifies
the state components that software has enabled xsaves and xrstors to manage.
If the bit corresponding to a state component is clear in XCR0 | IA32_XSS,
xsaves and xrstors will not operate on that state component, regardless of
the value of the instruction mask.

Pull AFS fixes and cleanups from David Howells:
"Here are some patches to the AFS filesystem:
1) Fix problems in the clean-up parts of the cache manager service
handler.
2) Split afs_end_call() introduced in (1) and replace some identical
code elsewhere with a call to the first half of the split function.
3) Fix an error introduced in the workqueue PREPARE_WORK() elimination
commits.
4) Clean up argument passing to functions called from the workqueue as
there's now an insulating layer between them and the workqueue.
This is possible from (3)"
* 'afs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
AFS: Pass an afs_call* to call->async_workfn() instead of a work_struct*
AFS: Fix kafs module unloading
AFS: Part of afs_end_call() is identical to code elsewhere, so split it
AFS: Fix cache manager service handlers
The sum at the beginning of line "intr" includes also unnumbered
interrupts. It implies that the sum at the beginning isn't the sum
of the remainder of the line, not even an estimation.
Fixed the documentation to mention that.
This behaviour was added to /proc/stat in commit a2eddfa959 ("x86:
make /proc/stat account for all interrupts")
