      x86/ldt: use "pr_info_once()" instead of open-coding it badly · bb5a93aa
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Using a mutex for "print this warning only once" is so overdesigned as
      to be actively offensive to my sensitive stomach.
      
      Just use "pr_info_once()" that already does this, although in a
      (harmlessly) racy manner that can in theory cause the message to be
      printed twice if more than one CPU races on that "is this the first
      time" test.
      
      [ If somebody really cares about that harmless data race (which sounds
        very unlikely indeed), that person can trivially fix printk_once() by
        using a simple atomic access, preferably with an optimistic non-atomic
        test first before even bothering to treat the pointless "make sure it
        is _really_ just once" case.
      
        A mutex is most definitely never the right primitive to use for
        something like this. ]
      
      Yes, this is a small and meaningless detail in a code path that hardly
      matters.  But let's keep some code quality standards here, and not
      accept outrageously bad code.

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A series of fixes for x86:
      
         - Reset MXCSR in kernel_fpu_begin() to prevent using a stale user
           space value.
      
         - Prevent writing MSR_TEST_CTRL on CPUs which are not explicitly
           whitelisted for split lock detection. Some CPUs which do not
           support it crash even when the MSR is written to 0 which is the
           default value.
      
         - Fix the XEN PV fallout of the entry code rework
      
         - Fix the 32bit fallout of the entry code rework
      
         - Add more selftests to ensure that these entry problems don't come
           back.
      
         - Disable 16 bit segments on XEN PV. It's not supported because XEN
           PV does not implement ESPFIX64"
