Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A few updates for x86:

   - Fix an unintended sign extension issue in the fault handling code

   - Rename the new resource control config switch so it's less
     confusing

   - Avoid setting up EFI info in kexec when the EFI runtime is
     disabled.

   - Fix the microcode version check in the AMD microcode loader so it
     only loads higher version numbers and never downgrades

   - Set EFER.LME in the 32bit trampoline before returning to long mode
     to handle older AMD/KVM behaviour properly.

   - Add Darren and Andy as x86/platform reviewers"

"Resource Control" is a very broad term for this CPU feature, and a term
that is also associated with containers, cgroups etc. This can easily
cause confusion.

Make the user prompt more specific. Match the config symbol name.

 [ bp: In the future, the corresponding ARM arch-specific code will be
   under ARM_CPU_RESCTRL and the arch-agnostic bits will be carved out
   under the CPU_RESCTRL umbrella symbol. ]

<title>x86_64: increase stack size for KASAN_EXTRA</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a8e911d13540487942d53137c156bd7707f66e5d</id>
<content type='text'>
If the kernel is configured with KASAN_EXTRA, the stack size is
increasted significantly because this option sets "-fstack-reuse" to
"none" in GCC [1].  As a result, it triggers stack overrun quite often
with 32k stack size compiled using GCC 8.  For example, this reproducer

  https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/madvise/madvise06.c

triggers a "corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler" very reliably
with CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK enabled.

There are just too many functions that could have a large stack with
KASAN_EXTRA due to large local variables that have been called over and
over again without being able to reuse the stacks.  Some noticiable ones
are

  size
  7648 shrink_page_list
  3584 xfs_rmap_convert
  3312 migrate_page_move_mapping
  3312 dev_ethtool
  3200 migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page
  3168 copy_process

There are other 49 functions are over 2k in size while compiling kernel
with "-Wframe-larger-than=" even with a related minimal config on this
machine.  Hence, it is too much work to change Makefiles for each object
to compile without "-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope" individually.

[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715#c23

Although there is a patch in GCC 9 to help the situation, GCC 9 probably
won't be released in a few months and then it probably take another
6-month to 1-year for all major distros to include it as a default.
Hence, the stack usage with KASAN_EXTRA can be revisited again in 2020
when GCC 9 is everywhere.  Until then, this patch will help users avoid
stack overrun.

This has already been fixed for arm64 for the same reason via
6e8830674ea ("arm64: kasan: Increase stack size for KASAN_EXTRA").

<title>arch: unexport asm/shmparam.h for all architectures</title>

<id>urn:sha1:36c0f7f0f89984bb21e6d0f92d776faf7be73096</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures do not export shmparam.h to user-space.

  $ find arch -name shmparam.h  | sort
  arch/alpha/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/arm/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/csky/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/ia64/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/mips/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nds32/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/nios2/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/parisc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/s390/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sh/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/sparc/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/x86/include/asm/shmparam.h
  arch/xtensa/include/asm/shmparam.h

Strangely, some users of the asm-generic wrapper export shmparam.h

  $ git grep 'generic-y += shmparam.h'
  arch/c6x/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/h8300/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/hexagon/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/m68k/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/microblaze/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/openrisc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/riscv/include/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h
  arch/unicore32/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild:generic-y += shmparam.h

The newly added riscv correctly creates the asm-generic wrapper
in the kernel space, but the others (c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k,
microblaze, openrisc, unicore32) create the one in the uapi directory.

Digging into the git history, now I guess fcc8487d477a ("uapi:
export all headers under uapi directories") was the misconversion.
Prior to that commit, no architecture exported to shmparam.h
As its commit description said, that commit exported shmparam.h
for c6x, h8300, hexagon, m68k, openrisc, unicore32.

83f0124ad81e ("microblaze: remove asm-generic wrapper headers")
accidentally exported shmparam.h for microblaze.

This commit unexports shmparam.h for those architectures.

There is no more reason to export include/uapi/asm-generic/shmparam.h,
so it has been moved to include/asm-generic/shmparam.h
