Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step).
As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step
through the kernel until something clears TF. There is absolutely
nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1].
Simplify the handling considerably with two changes:
1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC. We can
add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever.
2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue.
That's all we need to do.
Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit
kernels. There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but
the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first
instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite
correctly. The next two patches will fix that.
[1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and
making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER
code. Needless to say, this is a bad idea.

The 'system_call' entry points differ starkly between native 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels: on 32-bit kernels it defines the INT 0x80 entry point, while on
64-bit it's the SYSCALL entry point.
This is pretty confusing when looking at generic code, and it also obscures
the nature of the entry point at the assembly level.
So unangle this by splitting the name into its two uses:
system_call (32) -> entry_INT80_32
system_call (64) -> entry_SYSCALL_64
As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:
entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier
where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.

So the SYSENTER instruction is pretty quirky and it has different behavior
depending on bitness and CPU maker.
Yet we create a false sense of coherency by naming it 'ia32_sysenter_target'
in both of the cases.
Split the name into its two uses:
ia32_sysenter_target (32) -> entry_SYSENTER_32
ia32_sysenter_target (64) -> entry_SYSENTER_compat

This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking
related to the 32-bit vdso. It's easier to understand how this
works when the code is closer to its callers.
This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some
trivial amount of kernel text.

The code requires the use of the proper per-exception-vector stub
functions (set up as the early_idt_handlers[] array - note the 's') that
make sure to set up the error vector number. This is true regardless of
whether CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is set or not.
Why? The stack offset for the comparison of __KERNEL_CS won't be right
otherwise, nor will the new check (from commit 8170e6bed4: "x86,
64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand") for
the page fault exception vector.

It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
so NX status should be reported. Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
provides feedback for that case as well.

The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
the available of NX.
This patch:
a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left
to the head code.
b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to
test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

These macros had two bugs:
- the type of the mask was not correctly expanded to the full size of
the argument being expanded, resulting in possible loss of high bits
when mixing types.
- the alignment argument was evaluated twice, despite the macro looking
like a fancy function (but it really does need to be a macro, since
it works on arbitrary integer types)
Noticed by Peter Anvin, and with a fix that is a modification of his
suggestion (bug noticed by Yinghai Lu).
