[v4,00/34] x86: enable FRED for x86-64

  This patch set enables FRED for x86-64, and it's based on the previous LKGS
patch set.

The Intel flexible return and event delivery (FRED) architecture defines simple
new transitions that change privilege level (ring transitions).  The FRED
architecture was designed with the following goals:
1) Improve overall performance and response time by replacing event delivery
through the interrupt descriptor table (IDT event delivery) and event return by
the IRET instruction with lower latency transitions.
2) Improve software robustness by ensuring that event delivery establishes the
full supervisor context and that event return establishes the full user context.

The new transitions defined by the FRED architecture are FRED event delivery and,
for returning from events, two FRED return instructions. FRED event delivery can
effect a transition from ring 3 to ring 0, but it is used also to deliver events
incident to ring 0. One FRED instruction (ERETU) effects a return from ring 0 to
ring 3, while the other (ERETS) returns while remaining in ring 0.

  site:intel.com FRED (flexible return and event delivery) specification

As of now there is no publicly avaiable CPU supporting FRED, thus the Intel
Simics® Simulator is used as software development and testing vehicles. And
it can be downloaded from:
  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/simics-simulator.html

To enable FRED, Simics package 8112 QSP-CPU needs to be installed with CPU
model configured as:
	$cpu_comp_class = "x86-experimental-fred"

Longer term, we should refactor common code shared by FRED and IDT into common
shared files, and contain IDT code using a new config CONFIG_X86_IDT.

Changes since v3:
* Call external_interrupt() for VMX IRQ reinjection when FRED is enabled.
* Execute "int $2" for VMX NMI reinjection when FRED is enabled.
* Rename csl/ssl of the pt_regs structure to csx/ssx (x for extended)
  (Andrew Cooper).

Changes since v2:
* Improve comments for changes in arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h.

Changes since v1:
* call irqentry_nmi_{enter,exit}() in both IDT and FRED debug fault kernel
  handler (Peter Zijlstra).
* Initialize a FRED exception handler to fred_bad_event() instead of NULL
  if no FRED handler defined for an exception vector (Peter Zijlstra).
* Push calling irqentry_{enter,exit}() and instrumentation_{begin,end}()
  down into individual FRED exception handlers, instead of in the dispatch
  framework (Peter Zijlstra).

We focused on testing those problematic cases (kvm:hyperv_clock,
kvm:hyperv_features, kvm:xen_vmcall_test, kvm:hyperv_ipi, kvm:hyperv_tlb_flush
and bpf:test_progs) first, and found that they were all good on Intel Simics®
Simulator w/ FRED model 6.2.0+ w/ this v4 patch set, and the rest of the cases
were still running.

Thanks
