[GIT PULL] x86/urgent for 6.16-rc3

[Dave Hansen]

Hi Linus,

Please pull some x86/urgent changes for 6.16-rc3.

This is a pretty scattered set of fixes. The majority of them are further
fixups around the recent ITS mitigations. The rest don't really have a
coherent story.

 * Some flavors of Xen PV guests don't support large pages, but the
   set_memory.c code assumes all CPUs support them. Avoid problems with
   a quick CPU feature check.
 * The TDX code has some wrappers to help retry calls to the TDX module.
   They use function pointers to assembly functions and the compiler
   usually generates direct CALLs. But some new compilers, plus -Os
   turned them in to indirect CALLs and the assembly code was not
   annotated for indirect calls. Force inlining of the helper to fix
   it up.
 * Last, a FRED issue showed up when single-stepping. It's fine when
   using an external debugger, but was getting stuck returning from
   a SIGTRAP handler otherwise. Clear the FRED "swevent" bit to ensure
   that forward progress is made.
