Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/xen: add CPU dependencies for 32-bit build

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

Xen only supports modern CPUs even when running a 32-bit kernel, and it now
requires a kernel built for a 64 byte (or larger) cache line:

In file included from <command-line>:
In function 'xen_vcpu_setup',
inlined from 'xen_vcpu_setup_restore' at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:111:3,
inlined from 'xen_vcpu_restore' at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:141:3:
include/linux/compiler_types.h:435:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_287' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof(*vcpup) > SMP_CACHE_BYTES
arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:166:9: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
166 | BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(*vcpup) > SMP_CACHE_BYTES);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Enforce the dependency with a whitelist of CPU configurations. In normal
distro kernels, CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is enabled, and this works fine. When this
is not set, still allow Xen to be built on kernels that target a 64-bit
capable CPU.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: rework CONFIG_X86_PAE dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

While looking at a Xen Kconfig dependency issue, I tried to understand the
exact dependencies for CONFIG_X86_PAE, which is selected by CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G
but can also be enabled manually.

Apparently the dependencies for CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G are strictly about CPUs
that do support PAE, but the actual feature can be incorrectly enabled on
older CPUs as well. The CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 dependencies on the other hand
include X86_PAE because cmpxchg8b is requried for PAE to work.

Rework this for readability and correctness, using a positive list of CPUs
that support PAE in a new X86_HAVE_PAE symbol that can serve as a dependency
for both X86_PAE and HIGHMEM64G as well as simplify the X86_CMPXCHG64
dependency list.

This did not solve the original problem of the Xen dependencies on
64 byte cache lines, as there are a number of CPUs that support PAE
but have 32 byte L1 cache lines.

This fixes 32-bit distro kernel builds in Nixpkgs, which regressed
with a recent stable kernel update. Thanks!
