Actually replace the numeric values by the new symbolic values.
I used this to find all the existing users of the GDT_ENTRY*() macros:
$ git grep -P 'GDT_ENTRY(_INIT)?\('
Some of the lines will exceed 80 characters, but some of them will be
shorter again in the next couple of patches.

We'd like to replace all the magic numbers in various GDT descriptors
with new, semantically meaningful, symbolic values.
In order to be able to verify that the change doesn't cause any actual
changes to the compiled binary code, I've split the change into two
patches:
- Part 1 (this commit): everything _but_ actually replacing the numbers
- Part 2 (the following commit): _only_ replacing the numbers
The reason we need this split for verification is that including new
headers causes some spurious changes to the object files, mostly line
number changes in the debug info but occasionally other subtle codegen
changes.

Mark reported that the ORC unwinder incorrectly marks an unwind as
reliable when the unwind terminates prematurely in the dark corners of
return_to_handler() due to lack of information about the next frame.
The problem is UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY is used in two different situations:
1) The end of the kernel stack unwind before hitting user entry, boot
code, or fork entry
2) A blind spot in ORC coverage where the unwinder has to bail due to
lack of information about the next frame
The ORC unwinder has no way to tell the difference between the two.
When it encounters an undefined stack state with 'end=1', it blindly
marks the stack reliable, which can break the livepatch consistency
model.
Fix it by splitting UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY into UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED and
UNWIND_HINT_END_OF_STACK.

Pull x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Turn the stack canary into a normal __percpu variable on 32-bit which
gets rid of the LAZY_GS stuff and a lot of code.
- Add an insn_decode() API which all users of the instruction decoder
should preferrably use. Its goal is to keep the details of the
instruction decoder away from its users and simplify and streamline
how one decodes insns in the kernel. Convert its users to it.
- kprobes improvements and fixes
- Set the maximum DIE per package variable on Hygon
- Rip out the dynamic NOP selection and simplify all the machinery
around selecting NOPs. Use the simplified NOPs in objtool now too.
- Add Xeon Sapphire Rapids to list of CPUs that support PPIN
- Simplify the retpolines by folding the entire thing into an
alternative now that objtool can handle alternatives with stack ops.
Then, have objtool rewrite the call to the retpoline with the
alternative which then will get patched at boot time.
- Document Intel uarch per models in intel-family.h
- Make Sub-NUMA Clustering topology the default and Cluster-on-Die the
exception on Intel.

We've accumulated a few unusual Unicode characters in arch/x86/
over the years, substitute them with their proper ASCII equivalents.
A few of them were a whitespace equivalent: ' ' - the use was harmless.

On 32-bit kernels, the stackprotector canary is quite nasty -- it is
stored at %gs:(20), which is nasty because 32-bit kernels use %fs for
percpu storage. It's even nastier because it means that whether %gs
contains userspace state or kernel state while running kernel code
depends on whether stackprotector is enabled (this is
CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS), and this setting radically changes the way
that segment selectors work. Supporting both variants is a
maintenance and testing mess.
Merely rearranging so that percpu and the stack canary
share the same segment would be messy as the 32-bit percpu address
layout isn't currently compatible with putting a variable at a fixed
offset.
Fortunately, GCC 8.1 added options that allow the stack canary to be
accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard, effectively turning it into an ordinary
percpu variable. This lets us get rid of all of the code to manage the
stack canary GDT descriptor and the CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS mess.
(That name is special. We could use any symbol we want for the
%fs-relative mode, but for CONFIG_SMP=n, gcc refuses to let us use any
name other than __stack_chk_guard.)
Forcibly disable stackprotector on older compilers that don't support
the new options and turn the stack canary into a percpu variable. The
"lazy GS" approach is now used for all 32-bit configurations.
Also makes load_gs_index() work on 32-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels,
it loads the GS selector and updates the user GSBASE accordingly. (This
is unchanged.) On 32-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates
GSBASE, which is now always the user base. This means that the overall
effect is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, which avoids some ifdeffery.

This indirect jump is harmless; annotate it to keep objtool's retpoline

There are a couple of assembly functions which are invoked only locally
in the file they are defined. In C, they are marked "static". In
assembly, annotate them using SYM_{FUNC,CODE}_START_LOCAL (and switch
their ENDPROC to SYM_{FUNC,CODE}_END too). Whether FUNC or CODE is used,
depends on whether ENDPROC or END was used for a particular function
before.

Once hypervisors other than Xen start using the PVH entry point for
starting VMs, we would like the option of being able to compile PVH entry
capable kernels without enabling CONFIG_XEN and all the code that comes
along with that. To allow that, we are moving the PVH code out of Xen and
into files sitting at a higher level in the tree.
This patch is not introducing any code or functional changes, just moving
files from one location to another.
