#1500937 — [PATCH 4.7 12/31] xen/x86: Update topology map for PV VCPUs

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>

commit a6a198bc60e6c980a56eca24d33dc7f29139f8ea upstream.

Early during boot topology_update_package_map() computes
logical_pkg_ids for all present processors.

Later, when processors are brought up, identify_cpu() updates
these values based on phys_pkg_id which is a function of
initial_apicid. On PV guests the latter may point to a
non-existing node, causing logical_pkg_ids to be set to -1.

Intel's RAPL uses logical_pkg_id (as topology_logical_package_id())
to index its arrays and therefore in this case will point to index
65535 (since logical_pkg_id is a u16). This could lead to either a
crash or may actually access random memory location.

As a workaround, we recompute topology during CPU bringup to reset
logical_pkg_id to a valid value.

(The reason for initial_apicid being bogus is because it is
initial_apicid of the processor from which the guest is launched.
This value is CPUID(1).EBX[31:24])
