An SNP cache coherency vulnerability requires a cache line eviction
mitigation when validating memory after a page state change to private.
The specific mitigation is to touch the first and last byte of each 4K
page that is being validated. There is no need to perform the mitigation
when performing a page state change to shared and rescinding validation.
CPUID bit Fn8000001F_EBX[31] defines the COHERENCY_SFW_NO CPUID bit
that, when set, indicates that the software mitigation for this
vulnerability is not needed.
Implement the mitigation and invoke it when validating memory (making it
private) and the COHERENCY_SFW_NO bit is not set, indicating the SNP
guest is vulnerable.

Now that the latter CPUID(0x2) header has been merged into the former,

The global pseudo-constants 'page_offset_base', 'vmalloc_base' and
'vmemmap_base' are not used extremely early during the boot, and cannot be
used safely until after the KASLR memory randomization code in
kernel_randomize_memory() executes, which may update their values.
So there is no point in setting these variables extremely early, and it
can wait until after the kernel itself is mapped and running from its
permanent virtual mapping.

Most of the SEV support code used to reside in a single C source file
that was included in two places: the core kernel, and the decompressor.
The code that is actually shared with the decompressor was moved into a
separate, shared source file under startup/, on the basis that the
decompressor also executes from the early 1:1 mapping of memory.
However, while the elaborate #VC handling and instruction decoding that
it involves is also performed by the decompressor, it does not actually
occur in the core kernel at early boot, and therefore, does not need to
be part of the confined early startup code.
So split off the #VC handling code and move it back into arch/x86/coco
where it came from, into another C source file that is included from
both the decompressor and the core kernel.
Code movement only - no functional change intended.

The SME encryption startup code populates page tables using the ordinary
set_pXX() helpers, and in a PTI build, these will call out to
__pti_set_user_pgtbl() to manipulate the shadow copy of the page tables
for user space.
This is unneeded for the startup code, which only manipulates the
swapper page tables, and so this call could be avoided in this
particular case. So instead of exposing the ordinary
__pti_set_user_pgtblt() to the startup code after its gets confined into
its own symbol space, provide an alternative which just returns pgd,
which is always correct in the startup context.
Annotate it as __weak for now, this will be dropped in a subsequent
patch.

Move early_setup_gdt() out of the startup code that is callable from the
1:1 mapping - this is not needed, and instead, it is better to expose
the helper that does reside in __head directly.
This reduces the amount of code that needs special checks for 1:1
execution suitability. In particular, it avoids dealing with the GHCB
page (and its physical address) in startup code, which runs from the
1:1 mapping, making physical to virtual translations ambiguous.

234cf67fc3 ("x86/sev: Split off startup code from core code")
The SNP guest boots, but no longer has access to the VMPCK keys needed
to communicate with the ASP, which is used, for example, to obtain an
attestation report.
The secrets_pa value is defined as static in both startup.c and
core.c. It is set by a function in startup.c and so when used in
core.c its value will be 0.
Share it again and add the sev_ prefix to put it into the global
SEV symbols namespace.

objtool already struggles to identify jump tables correctly in non-PIC
code, where the idiom is something like
jmpq *table(,%idx,8)
and the table is a list of absolute addresses of jump targets.
When using -fPIC, both the table reference as well as the jump targets
are emitted in a RIP-relative manner, resulting in something like
leaq table(%rip), %tbl
movslq (%tbl,%idx,4), %offset
addq %offset, %tbl
jmpq *%tbl
and the table is a list of offsets of the jump targets relative to the
start of the entire table.
Considering that this sequence of instructions can be interleaved with
other instructions that have nothing to do with the jump table in
question, it is extremely difficult to infer the control flow by
deriving the jump targets from the indirect jump, the location of the
table and the relative offsets it contains.
So let's not bother and disable jump tables for code built with -fPIC
under arch/x86/boot/startup.

When building with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, there is an error in the x86 boot
startup code because it builds with a different code model than the rest
of the kernel:
ld.lld: error: Function Import: link error: linking module flags 'Code Model': IDs have conflicting values: 'i32 2' from vmlinux.a(head64.o at 1302448), and 'i32 1' from vmlinux.a(map_kernel.o at 1314208)

As this directory is for code that only runs during early system
initialization, LTO is not very important, so filter out the LTO flags
from KBUILD_CFLAGS for arch/x86/boot/startup to resolve the build error.
