Linus Torvalds eb55307e67 X86 core code updates:
- Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have a
     model ID less than 4. The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB
     correctly implemented and are not affected.
 
   - Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures
 
     SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or
     runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to
     disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors.
 
     It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and
     worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration
     which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By chance
     a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes the
     hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask is
     never evaluated.
 
     The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up
     with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not
     supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core to
     deny the bringup of the APS.
 
     Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not
     implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be
     booted or not.
 
   - Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV
 
     Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the
     usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent
     with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or even
     non-existent.
 
   - Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86
 
     Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data
     structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology
     evaluation overhaul.
 
   - Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32
 
     It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned long
     or whatever developers decided to use.
 
   - Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs.
 
     Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die
     IDs. That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is
     subject to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online
     cycle.
 
     Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further
     topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology
     management is in place.
 
   - Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information
 
     Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology
     management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility.
