Subject: x86/smpboot: Make optimization of delay calibration work correctly
From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin(a)oracle.com>
commit 76ce7cfe35ef58f34e6ba85327afb5fbf6c3ff9b upstream.
If the TSC has constant frequency then the delay calibration can be skipped
when it has been calibrated for a package already. This is checked in
calibrate_delay_is_known(), but that function is buggy in two aspects:
It returns 'false' if
(!tsc_disabled && !cpu_has(&cpu_data(cpu), X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC)
which is obviously the reverse of the intended check and the check for the
sibling mask cannot work either because the topology links have not been
set up yet.
Correct the condition and move the call to set_cpu_sibling_map() before
invoking calibrate_delay() so the sibling check works correctly.

From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin(a)linux.intel.com>
commit b8347c2196492f4e1cccde3d92fda1cc2cc7de7e upstream.
Commit:
9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")
turned warnings into UD0, but the fixup code only runs after the
notify_die() chain. This is a problem, in particular, with kgdb,
which kicks in as if it was a BUG().
Fix this by running the fixup code before the notifier chain in
the invalid op handler path.

Subject: x86/oprofile/ppro: Do not use __this_cpu*() in preemptible context
From: Borislav Petkov <bp(a)suse.de>
commit a743bbeef27b9176987ec0cb7f906ab0ab52d1da upstream.
The warning below says it all:
BUG: using __this_cpu_read() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.14.0-rc8 #4
Call Trace:
dump_stack
check_preemption_disabled
? do_early_param
__this_cpu_preempt_check
arch_perfmon_init
op_nmi_init
? alloc_pci_root_info
oprofile_arch_init
oprofile_init
do_one_initcall
...
These accessors should not have been used in the first place: it is PPro so
no mixed silicon revisions and thus it can simply use boot_cpu_data.
