[PATCH v3 1/3] x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE early in cpu_init_exception_handling()

[Nikunj A Dadhania]

Move FSGSBASE enablement from identify_cpu() to
cpu_init_exception_handling() to ensure it is enabled before any exceptions
can occur on both boot and secondary CPUs.

== Background ==

Exception entry code (paranoid_entry()) uses ALTERNATIVE patching based on
X86_FEATURE_FSGSBASE to decide whether to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE
instructions or the slower RDMSR/SWAPGS sequence for saving/restoring
GSBASE.

For boot CPU, ALTERNATIVE patching happens after enabling FSGSBASE in CR4.
When the feature is available, the code is permanently patched to use
RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1 to execute without
triggering #UD.

== Boot Sequence ==

Boot CPU (with CR pinning enabled):
  trap_init()
    cpu_init()                   <- Uses unpatched code (RDMSR/SWAPGS)
      x2apic_setup()
  ...
  arch_cpu_finalize_init()
    identify_boot_cpu()
      identify_cpu()
        cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE)  # Enables the feature
	# This becomes part of cr4_pinned_bits
    ...
    alternative_instructions()   <- Patches code to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE

Secondary CPUs (with CR pinning enabled):
  start_secondary()
    cr4_init()                   <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=1
                                    set implicitly via cr4_pinned_bits

    cpu_init()                   <- exceptions work because FSGSBASE is
                                    already enabled

Secondary CPU (with CR pinning disabled):
  start_secondary()
    cr4_init()                   <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=0
    cpu_init()
      x2apic_setup()
        rdmsrq(MSR_IA32_APICBASE)  <- Triggers #VC in SNP guests
          exc_vmm_communication()
            paranoid_entry()       <- Uses RDGSBASE with CR4.FSGSBASE=0
                                      (patched code)
    ...
    ap_starting()
      identify_secondary_cpu()
        identify_cpu()
	  cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE)  <- Enables the feature, which is
                                             too late

== CR Pinning ==

Currently, for secondary CPUs, CR4.FSGSBASE is set implicitly through
CR-pinning: the boot CPU sets it during identify_cpu(), it becomes part of
cr4_pinned_bits, and cr4_init() applies those pinned bits to secondary
CPUs. This works but creates an undocumented dependency between cr4_init()
and the pinning mechanism.

== Problem ==

Secondary CPUs boot after alternatives have been applied globally. They
execute already-patched paranoid_entry() code that uses RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE
instructions, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1. Upcoming changes to CR pinning
behavior will break the implicit dependency, causing secondary CPUs to
generate #UD.

This issue manifests on AMD SEV-SNP guests, where the rdmsrq() in
x2apic_setup() triggers a #VC exception early during cpu_init(). The #VC
handler (exc_vmm_communication()) executes the patched paranoid_entry()
path. Without CR4.FSGSBASE enabled, RDGSBASE instructions trigger #UD.

== Fix ==

Enable FSGSBASE explicitly in cpu_init_exception_handling() before loading
exception handlers. This makes the dependency explicit and ensures both
boot and secondary CPUs have FSGSBASE enabled before paranoid_entry()
executes.
