[GIT PULL (not really)] x86/core for v5.16

[Borislav Petkov]

Hi Linus,

so this is not really a pull request but more of a question on the
process. I have merged the x86/cc branch into this branch I'm sending to
you - x86/core - and when I generate the diffstat with git request-pull,
it adds the changes of the merged branch x86/cc too, of course.

I can doctor the diffstat and the merge message by doing

 git diff --stat ^x86/cc x86_core_for_v5.16_rc1

see below, so that the merged branch's changes are not there.

But I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. Especially if you do
not merge x86/cc first - then the below diffstat becomes wrong.

So what I've been doing with cases like that in the past is to wait
until you merge the dependent branch and then to create the proper
diffstat and pull message.

And I'm going to do it this way too but thought that maybe I should ask
if there is an alternative accepted way which I could do in the future
too, without having to wait.

Thx.

  selftests/x86/iopl: Adjust to the faked iopl CLI/STI usage (2021-10-30 23:18:04 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Do not #GP on userspace use of CLI/STI but pretend it was a NOP to
keep old userspace from breaking. Adjust the corresponding iopl selftest
to that.

- Improve stack overflow warnings to say which stack got overflowed and
raise the exception stack sizes to 2 pages since overflowing the single
page of exception stack is very easy to do nowadays with all the tracing
machinery enabled. With that, rip out the custom mapping of AMD SEV's
too.

- A bunch of changes in preparation for FGKASLR like supporting more
than 64K section headers in the relocs tool, correct ORC lookup table
size to cover the whole kernel .text and other adjustments.
