Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/cpuid: Fix up "virtual" IBRS/IBPB/STIBP feature bits on Intel

Despite the fact that all the other code there seems to be doing it,
just using set_cpu_cap() in early_intel_init() doesn't actually work.

For CPUs with PKU support, setup_pku() calls get_cpu_cap() after
c->c_init() has set those feature bits. That resets those bits back
to what was queried from the hardware.

Turning the bits off for bad microcode is easy to fix. That can just use
setup_clear_cpu_cap() to force them off for all CPUs.

I was less keen on forcing the feature bits *on* that way, just in case
of inconsistencies. I appreciate that the kernel is going to get this
utterly wrong if CPU features are not consistent, because it has already
applied alternatives by the time secondary CPUs are brought up.

But at least if setup_force_cpu_cap() isn't being used, we might have a
chance of *detecting* the lack of the corresponding bit and either
panicking or refusing to bring the offending CPU online.

So ensure that the appropriate feature bits are set within get_cpu_cap()
regardless of how many extra times it's called.

So...

We now understand why this didn't show up in my initial testing. It's not
*just* that I'm incompetent; it's setup_pku() which stomps on the bits
when it calls get_cpu_cap() again.

So Boris was right, and it would have been nicer if we hadn't been 
(ab)using the AMD bits as our generic visible feature bits for these.
Then they wouldn't have been stomped on again by get_cpu_cap() reading
the corresponding words from the hardware. Except...

Boris proposes that we introduce three new bits for IBRS/IBPB/STIBP and
make the AMD bits "hidden" too. So we'd need to set those new virtual
bits when *either* the AMD or the Intel feature bits are set.

That means we'd still have to add some code *somewhere* to set those
virtual bits. The AMD hardware bits, in particular, might be set even
by a hypervisor running on Intel CPUs since they allow combinations
like "IBPB only" to be advertised while the Intel-defined bits don't.

So we'd have to add code in a generic code path *anyway* to do that.

And since the main objection to my v1 patch was that it was adding the
code in a generic code path, it doesn't seem to be much of an improvement.

This v2 patch moves said code from scattered.c, which wasn't really
the right place, to a subfunction called from get_cpu_cap() directly.
You could do the shift to a separate three virtual feature bits on
top of this if you *really* wanted. I just don't see the point. 

We are, of course, still utterly hosed if the CPU capabilities are
inconsistent. But at least I didn't make things worse by making that
harder to detect by using setup_force_cpu_cap().
