Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- Various NUMA scheduling updates: harmonize the load-balancer and
NUMA placement logic to not work against each other. The intended
result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations.
- Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve
task placement on thermally overloaded systems.
- Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86
CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU
frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)
- Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan to improve capacity
utilization on asymmetric topologies. (big.LITTLE systems)
- PSI fixes and optimizations.
- RT scheduling capacity awareness fixes & improvements.
- Optimize the CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED constraints code.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and optimizations - see the changelog for
details"

invariance
On some platforms such as the Dell XPS 13 laptop the firmware disables turbo
when the machine is disconnected from AC, and viceversa it enables it again
when it's reconnected. In these cases a _PPC ACPI notification is issued.
The scheduler needs to know freq_max for frequency-invariant calculations.
To account for turbo availability to come and go, record freq_max at boot as
if turbo was available and store it in a helper variable. Use a setter
function to swap between freq_base and freq_max every time turbo goes off or on.

The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On all ATOM CPUs prior to Goldmont, set freq_max to the 1-core
turbo ratio.
We intended to perform tests validating that this patch doesn't regress in
terms of energy efficiency, given that this is the primary concern on Atom
processors. Alas, we found out that turbostat doesn't support reading RAPL
interfaces on our test machine (Airmont), and we don't have external equipment
to measure power consumption; all we have is the performance results of the
benchmarks we ran.

tbench, hackbench and kernbench performed the same under all three kernels;
dbench ran faster with intel_pstate/powersave and the git unit tests were a
lot faster with intel_pstate/powersave and invariant schedutil wrt the
baseline. Not that any of this is terrbily interesting anyway, one doesn't buy
an Atom system to go fast. Power consumption regressions aren't expected but
we lack the equipment to make that measurement. Turbostat seems to think that
reading RAPL on this machine isn't a good idea and we're trusting that
decision.

The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On GOLDMONT (aka Apollo Lake), GOLDMONT_D (aka Denverton) and
GOLDMONT_PLUS CPUs (aka Gemini Lake) set freq_max to the highest frequency
reported by the CPU.
The encoding of turbo ratios for GOLDMONT* is identical to the one for
SKYLAKE_X, but we treat the Atom case apart because we want to set freq_max to
a higher value, thus the ratio freq_curr/freq_max to be lower, leading to more
conservative frequency selections (favoring power efficiency).

The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On Xeon Phi CPUs set freq_max to the second-highest frequency
reported by the CPU.
Xeon Phi CPUs such as Knights Landing and Knights Mill typically have either
one or two turbo frequencies; in the former case that's 100 MHz above the base
frequency, in the latter case the two levels are 100 MHz and 200 MHz above
base frequency.
We set freq_max to the second-highest frequency reported by the CPU. This
could be the base frequency (if only one turbo level is available) or the first
turbo level (if two levels are available). The rationale is to compromise
between power efficiency or performance -- going straight to max turbo would
favor efficiency and blindly using base freq would favor performance.
For reference, this is how MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT must be parsed on a Xeon Phi
to get the available frequencies (taken from a comment in turbostat's sources):
[0] -- Reserved
[7:1] -- Base value of number of active cores of bucket 1.
[15:8] -- Base value of freq ratio of bucket 1.
[20:16] -- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 2.
i.e. active cores of bucket 2 =
active cores of bucket 1 + delta
[23:21] -- Negative delta of freq ratio of bucket 2.
i.e. freq ratio of bucket 2 =
freq ratio of bucket 1 - delta
[28:24]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 3.
[31:29]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 3.
[36:32]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 4.
[39:37]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 4.
[44:40]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 5.
[47:45]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 5.
[52:48]-- +ve delta of number of active cores of bucket 6.
[55:53]-- -ve delta of freq ratio of bucket 6.

1. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: TBENCH +5%
-------------------------------------
A performance evaluation was conducted on a Knights Mill machine (see "Test
Setup" below), were the frequency-invariance patch (on schedutil) is compared
to both non-invariant schedutil and active intel_pstate with powersave: all
three tested kernels behave the same performance-wise and with regard to power
consumption (performance per watt). The only notable difference is tbench:
comparison ratio of performance with baseline; 1.00 means neutral,
higher is better:
I_PSTATE FREQ-INV

tbench 1.04 1.05
performance-per-watt ratios with baseline; 1.00 means neutral, higher is better:
I_PSTATE FREQ-INV
----------------------------------------
tbench 1.03 1.04
which essentially means that frequency-invariant schedutil is 5% better than
baseline, the same as intel_pstate+powersave.
As the results above are averaged over the varying parameter, here the detailed
table.

The scheduler needs the ratio freq_curr/freq_max for frequency-invariant
accounting. On SKYLAKE_X CPUs set freq_max to the highest frequency that can
be sustained by a group of at least 4 cores.
From the changelog of commit 31e07522be56 ("tools/power turbostat: fix
decoding for GLM, DNV, SKX turbo-ratio limits"):
> Newer processors do not hard-code the the number of cpus in each bin
> to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} Rather, they can specify any number
> of CPUS in each of the 8 bins:
>
> eg.
>
> ...
> 37 * 100.0 = 3600.0 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
> 38 * 100.0 = 3700.0 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
> 39 * 100.0 = 3800.0 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
> 39 * 100.0 = 3900.0 MHz max turbo 1 active cores
>
> could now look something like this:
>
> ...
> 37 * 100.0 = 3600.0 MHz max turbo 16 active cores
> 38 * 100.0 = 3700.0 MHz max turbo 8 active cores
> 39 * 100.0 = 3800.0 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
> 39 * 100.0 = 3900.0 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
This encoding of turbo levels applies to both SKYLAKE_X and GOLDMONT/GOLDMONT_D,
but we treat these two classes in separate commits because their freq_max
values need to be different. For SKX we prefer a lower freq_max in the ratio
freq_curr/freq_max, allowing load and utilization to overshoot and the
schedutil governor to be more performance-oriented. Models from the Atom
series (such as GOLDMONT*) are handled in a forthcoming commit as they have to
favor power-efficiency over performance.
Results from a performance evaluation follow.

Similarly to earlier Xeons, measurable performance gains over non-invariant
schedutil are observed on dbench, tbench, kernel compilation and running the
git unit tests suite. Looking at the detailed tables show that the patch
scores the largest difference when the machine is lightly loaded. Power
efficiency suffers lightly on kernbench and a bit more on dbench, but largely
improves on gitsource (which also runs considerably faster). For reference, we
also report results using active intel_pstate with powersave and HWP; the
largest gap between non-invariant schedutil and intel_pstate+powersave is
still tbench, which runs 82% better and with 26% improved efficiency on the
latter configuration -- this divide isn't closed yet by frequency-invariant
schedutil.

Implement arch_scale_freq_capacity() for 'modern' x86. This function
is used by the scheduler to correctly account usage in the face of
DVFS.
The present patch addresses Intel processors specifically and has positive
performance and performance-per-watt implications for the schedutil cpufreq
governor, bringing it closer to, if not on-par with, the powersave governor
from the intel_pstate driver/framework.
Large performance gains are obtained when the machine is lightly loaded and
no regression are observed at saturation. The benchmarks with the largest
gains are kernel compilation, tbench (the networking version of dbench) and
shell-intensive workloads.

| 1. FREQUENCY INVARIANCE: MOTIVATION
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For example; suppose a CPU has two frequencies: 500 and 1000 Mhz. When
running a task that would consume 1/3rd of a CPU at 1000 MHz, it would
appear to consume 2/3rd (or 66.6%) when running at 500 MHz, giving the
false impression this CPU is almost at capacity, even though it can go
faster [*]. In a nutshell, without frequency scale-invariance tasks look
larger just because the CPU is running slower.
[*] (footnote: this assumes a linear frequency/performance relation; which
everybody knows to be false, but given realities its the best approximation
we can make.)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 2. PECULIARITIES OF X86
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Accounting for frequency changes in PELT signals requires the computation of
the ratio freq_curr / freq_max. On x86 neither of those terms is readily
available.
2.1 CURRENT FREQUENCY
====================
Since modern x86 has hardware control over the actual frequency we run
at (because amongst other things, Turbo-Mode), we cannot simply use
the frequency as requested through cpufreq.
Instead we use the APERF/MPERF MSRs to compute the effective frequency
over the recent past. Also, because reading MSRs is expensive, don't
do so every time we need the value, but amortize the cost by doing it
every tick.
2.2 MAX FREQUENCY
=================
Obtaining freq_max is also non-trivial because at any time the hardware can
provide a frequency boost to a selected subset of cores if the package has
enough power to spare (eg: Turbo Boost). This means that the maximum frequency
available to a given core changes with time.
The approach taken in this change is to arbitrarily set freq_max to a constant
value at boot. The value chosen is the "4-cores (4C) turbo frequency" on most
microarchitectures, after evaluating the following candidates:
* 1-core (1C) turbo frequency (the fastest turbo state available)
* around base frequency (a.k.a. max P-state)
* something in between, such as 4C turbo
To interpret these options, consider that this is the denominator in
freq_curr/freq_max, and that ratio will be used to scale PELT signals such as
util_avg and load_avg. A large denominator will undershoot (util_avg looks a
bit smaller than it really is), viceversa with a smaller denominator PELT
signals will tend to overshoot. Given that PELT drives frequency selection
in the schedutil governor, we will have:
freq_max set to | effect on DVFS
--------------------+------------------
1C turbo | power efficiency (lower freq choices)
base freq | performance (higher util_avg, higher freq requests)
4C turbo | a bit of both
4C turbo proves to be a good compromise in a number of benchmarks (see below).
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 3. EFFECTS ON THE SCHEDUTIL FREQUENCY GOVERNOR
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once an architecture implements a frequency scale-invariant utilization (the
PELT signal util_avg), schedutil switches its frequency selection formula from
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_curr * util [non-invariant util signal]
to
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * util [invariant util signal]
where, in the second formula, freq_max is set to the 1C turbo frequency (max
turbo). The advantage of the second formula, whose usage we unlock with this
patch, is that freq_next doesn't depend on the current frequency in an
iterative fashion, but can jump to any frequency in a single update. This
absence of feedback in the formula makes it quicker to react to utilization
changes and more robust against pathological instabilities.
Compare it to the update formula of intel_pstate/powersave:
freq_next = 1.25 * freq_max * Busy%
where again freq_max is 1C turbo and Busy% is the percentage of time not spent
idling (calculated with delta_MPERF / delta_TSC); essentially the same as
invariant schedutil, and largely responsible for intel_pstate/powersave good
reputation. The non-invariant schedutil formula is derived from the invariant
one by approximating util_inv with util_raw * freq_curr / freq_max, but this
has limitations.
Testing shows improved performances due to better frequency selections when
the machine is lightly loaded, and essentially no change in behaviour at
saturation / overutilization.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
It's been shown that it is possible to create pathological scenarios where a
CPU-bound task cannot reach max utilization, if the normalizing factor
freq_max is fixed to a constant value (see [Lelli-2018]).
If freq_max is set to 4C turbo as we do here, one needs to peg at least 5
cores in a package doing some busywork, and observe that none of those task
will ever reach max util (1024) because they're all running at less than the
4C turbo frequency.
While this concern still applies, we believe the performance benefit of
frequency scale-invariant PELT signals outweights the cost of this limitation.

5.2 SETUP
=========
* The baseline is Linux v5.2 with schedutil (non-invariant) and the intel_pstate
driver in passive mode.
* The rationale for choosing the various freq_max values to test have been to
try all the 1-2-3-4C turbo levels (note that 1C and 2C turbo are identical
on all machines), plus one more value closer to base_freq but still in the
turbo range (8C turbo for both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA).
* In addition we've run all tests with intel_pstate/powersave for comparison.
* The filesystem is always XFS, the userspace is openSUSE Leap 15.1.
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA is capable of HWP (Hardware-Managed P-States), so the runs
with active intel_pstate on this machine use that.
This gives, in terms of combinations tested on each machine:
* 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA
* Baseline: Linux v5.2, non-invariant schedutil, intel_pstate passive
* intel_pstate active + powersave + HWP
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 1C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 3C turbo
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 4C turbo
* both 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA
* [same as 8x-SKYLAKE-UMA, but no HWP capable]
* invariant schedutil, freq_max = 8C turbo
(which on 48x-HASWELL-NUMA is the same as 12C turbo, or "all cores turbo")
5.3 BENCHMARK RESULTS
=====================
5.3.1 NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
------------------------
Tests that didn't show any measurable difference in performance on any of the
test machines between non-invariant schedutil and our patch are:
* NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) using either MPI or openMP for IPC, any
computational kernel
* flexible I/O (FIO)
* hackbench (using threads or processes, and using pipes or sockets)
5.3.2 NON-NEUTRAL BENCHMARKS
----------------------------
What follow are summary tables where each benchmark result is given a score.
* A tilde (~) means a neutral result, i.e. no difference from baseline.
* Scores are computed with the ratio result_new / result_baseline, so a tilde
means a score of 1.00.
* The results in the score ratio are the geometric means of results running
the benchmark with different parameters (eg: for kernbench: using 1, 2, 4,
... number of processes; for pgbench: varying the number of clients, and so
on).
* The first three tables show higher-is-better kind of tests (i.e. measured in
operations/second), the subsequent three show lower-is-better kind of tests
(i.e. the workload is fixed and we measure elapsed time, think kernbench).
* "gitsource" is a name we made up for the test consisting in running the
entire unit tests suite of the Git SCM and measuring how long it takes. We
take it as a typical example of shell-intensive serialized workload.
* In the "I_PSTATE" column we have the results for intel_pstate/powersave. Other
columns show invariant schedutil for different values of freq_max. 4C turbo
is circled as it's the value we've chosen for the final implementation.

tbench4 1.50 1.05 1.13 | 1.13 | 1.25
+------+
In the table above we see that active intel_pstate is slightly better than our
4C-turbo patch (both in reference to the baseline non-invariant schedutil) on
read-only pgbench and much better on tbench. Both cases are notable in which
it shows that lowering our freq_max (to 8C-turbo and 12C-turbo on
80x-BROADWELL-NUMA and 48x-HASWELL-NUMA respectively) helps invariant
schedutil to get closer.
If we ignore active intel_pstate and focus on the comparison with baseline
alone, there are several instances of double-digit performance improvement.

kernbench 0.94 0.90 0.89 | 0.90 | 0.90
gitsource 0.97 0.69 0.69 | 0.69 | 0.69
+------+
dbench is not very remarkable here, unless we notice how poorly active
intel_pstate is performing on 80x-BROADWELL-NUMA: 23% regression versus
non-invariant schedutil. We repeated that run getting consistent results. Out
of scope for the patch at hand, but deserving future investigation. Other than
that, we previously ran this campaign with Linux v5.0 and saw the patch doing
better on dbench a the time. We haven't checked closely and can only speculate
at this point.
On the NUMA boxes kernbench gets 10-15% improvements on average; we'll see in
the detailed tables that the gains concentrate on low process counts (lightly
loaded machines).
The test we call "gitsource" (running the git unit test suite, a long-running
single-threaded shell script) appears rather spectacular in this table (gains
of 30-50% depending on the machine). It is to be noted, however, that
gitsource has no adjustable parameters (such as the number of jobs in
kernbench, which we average over in order to get a single-number summary
score) and is exactly the kind of low-parallelism workload that benefits the
most from this patch. When looking at the detailed tables of kernbench or
tbench4, at low process or client counts one can see similar numbers.

This is one of the cases where the patch still can't surpass active
intel_pstate, not even when freq_max is as low as 12C-turbo. Otherwise, gains are
visible up to 16 clients and the saturated scenario is the same as baseline.
The scores in the summary table from the previous sections are ratios of
geometric means of the results over different clients, as seen in this table.

The patch outperform active intel_pstate (and baseline) by a considerable

5.3.4 POWER CONSUMPTION, PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT
---------------------------------------------
The following table shows average power consumption in watt for each
benchmark. Data comes from turbostat (package average), which in turn is read
from the RAPL interface on CPUs. We know the patch affects CPU frequencies so
it's reasonable to ignore other power consumers (such as memory or I/O). Also,
we don't have a power meter available in the lab so RAPL is the best we have.
turbostat sampled average power every 10 seconds for the entire duration of
each benchmark. We took all those values and averaged them (i.e. with don't
have detail on a per-parameter granularity, only on whole benchmarks).

A lower power consumption isn't necessarily better, it depends on what is done
with that energy. Here are tables with the ratio of performance-per-watt on
each machine and benchmark. Higher is always better; a tilde (~) means a

These results are overall pleasing: in plenty of cases we observe
performance-per-watt improvements. The few regressions (read/write pgbench and
dbench on the Broadwell machine) are of small magnitude. kernbench loses a few
percentage points (it has a 10-15% performance improvement, but apparently the
increase in power consumption is larger than that). tbench4 and gitsource, which
benefit the most from the patch, keep a positive score in this table which is
a welcome surprise; that suggests that in those particular workloads the
non-invariant schedutil (and active intel_pstate, too) makes some rather
suboptimal frequency selections.

Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup the apic IPI implementation by removing duplicated code and
consolidating the functions into the APIC core.
- Implement a safe variant of the IPI broadcast mode. Contrary to
earlier attempts this uses the core tracking of which CPUs have been
brought online at least once so that a broadcast does not end up in
some dead end in BIOS/SMM code when the CPU is still waiting for
init. Once all CPUs have been brought up once, IPI broadcasting is
enabled. Before that regular one by one IPIs are issued.
- Drop the paravirt CR8 related functions as they have no user anymore
- Initialize the APIC TPR to block interrupt 16-31 as they are reserved
for CPU exceptions and should never be raised by any well behaving
device.
- Emit a warning when vector space exhaustion breaks the admin set
affinity of an interrupt.
- Make sure to use the NMI fallback when shutdown via reboot vector IPI
fails. The original code had conditions which prevent the code path
to be reached.
- Annotate various APIC config variables as RO after init.

branch, but I left the explanation in the commit message since it was
shared between the two different branches - Linus ]

In order to support IPI/NMI broadcasting via the shorthand mechanism side
effects of shorthands need to be mitigated:
Shorthand IPIs and NMIs hit all CPUs including unplugged CPUs
Neither of those can be handled on unplugged CPUs for obvious reasons.
It would be trivial to just fully disable the APIC via the enable bit in
MSR_APICBASE. But that's not possible because clearing that bit on systems
based on the 3 wire APIC bus would require a hardware reset to bring it
back as the APIC would lose track of bus arbitration. On systems with FSB
delivery APICBASE could be disabled, but it has to be guaranteed that no
interrupt is sent to the APIC while in that state and it's not clear from
the SDM whether it still responds to INIT/SIPI messages.
Therefore stay on the safe side and switch the APIC into soft disabled mode
so it won't deliver any regular vector to the CPU.
NMIs are still propagated to the 'dead' CPUs. To mitigate that add a check
for the CPU being offline on early nmi entry and if so bail.
Note, this cannot use the stop/restart_nmi() magic which is used in the
alternatives code. A dead CPU cannot invoke nmi_enter() or anything else
due to RCU and other reasons.

The pinning of sensitive CR0 and CR4 bits caused a boot crash when loading
the kvm_intel module on a kernel compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n.
The reason is that the static key which controls the pinning is marked RO
after init. The kvm_intel module contains a CR4 write which requires to
update the static key entry list. That obviously does not work when the key
is in a RO section.
With CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled this does not happen because the CR4 write
uses the paravirt indirection and the actual write function is built in.
As the key is intended to be immutable after init, move
native_write_cr0/4() out of line.
While at it consolidate the update of the cr4 shadow variable and store the
value right away when the pinning is initialized on a booting CPU. No point
in reading it back 20 instructions later. This allows to confine the static
key and the pinning variable to cpu/common and allows to mark them static.

Several recent exploits have used direct calls to the native_write_cr4()
function to disable SMEP and SMAP before then continuing their exploits
using userspace memory access.
Direct calls of this form can be mitigate by pinning bits of CR4 so that
they cannot be changed through a common function. This is not intended to
be a general ROP protection (which would require CFI to defend against
properly), but rather a way to avoid trivial direct function calling (or
CFI bypasses via a matching function prototype) as seen in:
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2017/05/exploiting-linux-kernel-via-packet.html
(https://github.com/xairy/kernel-exploits/tree/master/CVE-2017-7308)
The goals of this change:
- Pin specific bits (SMEP, SMAP, and UMIP) when writing CR4.
- Avoid setting the bits too early (they must become pinned only after
CPU feature detection and selection has finished).
- Pinning mask needs to be read-only during normal runtime.
- Pinning needs to be checked after write to validate the cr4 state
Using __ro_after_init on the mask is done so it can't be first disabled
with a malicious write.
Since these bits are global state (once established by the boot CPU and
kernel boot parameters), they are safe to write to secondary CPUs before
those CPUs have finished feature detection. As such, the bits are set at
the first cr4 write, so that cr4 write bugs can be detected (instead of
silently papered over). This uses a few bytes less storage of a location we
don't have: read-only per-CPU data.
A check is performed after the register write because an attack could just
skip directly to the register write. Such a direct jump is possible because
of how this function may be built by the compiler (especially due to the
removal of frame pointers) where it doesn't add a stack frame (function
exit may only be a retq without pops) which is sufficient for trivial
exploitation like in the timer overwrites mentioned above).
The asm argument constraints gain the "+" modifier to convince the compiler
that it shouldn't make ordering assumptions about the arguments or memory,
and treat them as changed.

irq_ctx_init() crashes hard on page allocation failures. While that's ok
during early boot, it's just wrong in the CPU hotplug bringup code.
Check the page allocation failure and return -ENOMEM and handle it at the
call sites. On early boot the only way out is to BUG(), but on CPU hotplug
there is no reason to crash, so just abort the operation.
Rename the function to something more sensible while at it.

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

nr_cpu_ids can be limited on the command line via nr_cpus=. This can break the
logical package management because it results in a smaller number of packages
while in kdump kernel.
Check below case:
There is a two sockets system, each socket has 8 cores, which has 16 logical
cpus while HT was turn on.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
cores on socket 0 threads on socket 0
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
cores on socket 1 threads on socket 1
While starting the kdump kernel with command line option nr_cpus=16 panic
was triggered on one of the cpus 24-31 eg. 26, then online cpu will be
1-15, 26(cpu 0 was disabled in kdump), ncpus will be 16 and
__max_logical_packages will be 1, but actually two packages were booted on.
This issue can reproduced by set kdump option nr_cpus=<real physical core
numbers>, and then trigger panic on last socket's thread, for example:
taskset -c 26 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Use total_cpus which will not be limited by nr_cpus command line to calculate
the value of __max_logical_packages.

The next patch in this series will have to make the definition of
irq_cpustat_t available to entering_irq().
Inclusion of asm/hardirq.h into asm/apic.h would cause circular header
dependencies like
asm/smp.h
asm/apic.h
asm/hardirq.h
linux/irq.h
linux/topology.h
linux/smp.h
asm/smp.h
or
linux/gfp.h
linux/mmzone.h
asm/mmzone.h
asm/mmzone_64.h
asm/smp.h
asm/apic.h
asm/hardirq.h
linux/irq.h
linux/irqdesc.h
linux/kobject.h
linux/sysfs.h
linux/kernfs.h
linux/idr.h
linux/gfp.h
and others.
This causes compilation errors because of the header guards becoming
effective in the second inclusion: symbols/macros that had been defined
before wouldn't be available to intermediate headers in the #include chain
anymore.
A possible workaround would be to move the definition of irq_cpustat_t
into its own header and include that from both, asm/hardirq.h and
asm/apic.h.
However, this wouldn't solve the real problem, namely asm/harirq.h
unnecessarily pulling in all the linux/irq.h cruft: nothing in
asm/hardirq.h itself requires it. Also, note that there are some other
archs, like e.g. arm64, which don't have that #include in their
asm/hardirq.h.
Remove the linux/irq.h #include from x86' asm/hardirq.h.
Fix resulting compilation errors by adding appropriate #includes to *.c
files as needed.
Note that some of these *.c files could be cleaned up a bit wrt. to their
set of #includes, but that should better be done from separate patches, if
at all.

On 32-bit kernels, __flush_tlb_all() may have read the CR4 shadow before the
initialization of CR4 shadow in cpu_init().
Fix it by adding an explicit cr4_init_shadow() call into start_secondary()
which is the first function called on non-boot SMP CPUs - ahead of the
__flush_tlb_all() call.
( This is somewhat of a layering violation, but start_secondary() does
CR4 bootstrap in the PCID case anyway. )

If the CPU is supporting SMT then the primary thread can be found by
checking the lower APIC ID bits for zero. smp_num_siblings is used to build
the mask for the APIC ID bits which need to be taken into account.
This uses the MPTABLE or ACPI/MADT supplied APIC ID, which can be different
than the initial APIC ID in CPUID. But according to AMD the lower bits have
to be consistent. Intel gave a tentative confirmation as well.
Preparatory patch to support disabling SMT at boot/runtime.

The AMD64_LS_CFG MSR is a per core MSR on Family 17H CPUs. That means when
hyperthreading is enabled the SSBD bit toggle needs to take both cores into
account. Otherwise the following situation can happen:
CPU0 CPU1
disable SSB
disable SSB
enable SSB <- Enables it for the Core, i.e. for CPU0 as well
So after the SSB enable on CPU1 the task on CPU0 runs with SSB enabled
again.
On Intel the SSBD control is per core as well, but the synchronization
logic is implemented behind the per thread SPEC_CTRL MSR. It works like
this:
CORE_SPEC_CTRL = THREAD0_SPEC_CTRL | THREAD1_SPEC_CTRL
i.e. if one of the threads enables a mitigation then this affects both and
the mitigation is only disabled in the core when both threads disabled it.
Add the necessary synchronization logic for AMD family 17H. Unfortunately
that requires a spinlock to serialize the access to the MSR, but the locks
are only shared between siblings.

Recent AMD systems support using MWAIT for C1 state. However, MWAIT will
not allow deeper cstates than C1 on current systems.
play_dead() expects to use the deepest state available. The deepest state
available on AMD systems is reached through SystemIO or HALT. If MWAIT is
available, it is preferred over the other methods, so the CPU never reaches
the deepest possible state.
Don't try to use MWAIT to play_dead() on AMD systems. Instead, use CPUIDLE
to enter the deepest state advertised by firmware. If CPUIDLE is not
available then fallback to HALT.

Intel's Skylake Server CPUs have a different LLC topology than previous
generations. When in Sub-NUMA-Clustering (SNC) mode, the package is divided
into two "slices", each containing half the cores, half the LLC, and one
memory controller and each slice is enumerated to Linux as a NUMA
node. This is similar to how the cores and LLC were arranged for the
Cluster-On-Die (CoD) feature.
CoD allowed the same cache line to be present in each half of the LLC.
But, with SNC, each line is only ever present in *one* slice. This means
that the portion of the LLC *available* to a CPU depends on the data being
accessed:
Remote socket: entire package LLC is shared
Local socket->local slice: data goes into local slice LLC
Local socket->remote slice: data goes into remote-slice LLC. Slightly
higher latency than local slice LLC.
The biggest implication from this is that a process accessing all
NUMA-local memory only sees half the LLC capacity.
The CPU describes its cache hierarchy with the CPUID instruction. One of
the CPUID leaves enumerates the "logical processors sharing this
cache". This information is used for scheduling decisions so that tasks
move more freely between CPUs sharing the cache.
But, the CPUID for the SNC configuration discussed above enumerates the LLC
as being shared by the entire package. This is not 100% precise because the
entire cache is not usable by all accesses. But, it *is* the way the
hardware enumerates itself, and this is not likely to change.
The userspace visible impact of all the above is that the sysfs info
reports the entire LLC as being available to the entire package. As noted
above, this is not true for local socket accesses. This patch does not
correct the sysfs info. It is the same, pre and post patch.
The current code emits the following warning:
sched: CPU #3's llc-sibling CPU #0 is not on the same node! [node: 1 != 0]. Ignoring dependency.
The warning is coming from the topology_sane() check in smpboot.c because
the topology is not matching the expectations of the model for obvious
reasons.
To fix this, add a vendor and model specific check to never call
topology_sane() for these systems. Also, just like "Cluster-on-Die" disable
the "coregroup" sched_domain_topology_level and use NUMA information from
the SRAT alone.
This is OK at least on the hardware we are immediately concerned about
because the LLC sharing happens at both the slice and at the package level,
which are also NUMA boundaries.

When uncore_pci_remove() runs, it tries to get the package ID to
clear the value of uncore_extra_pci_dev[].dev[] by using
topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(). The warning messesages are
shown because topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() returns -1.
arch/x86/events/intel/uncore.c:
static void uncore_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
...
phys_id = uncore_pcibus_to_physid(pdev->bus);
...
pkg = topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(phys_id); // returns -1
for (i = 0; i < UNCORE_EXTRA_PCI_DEV_MAX; i++) {
if (uncore_extra_pci_dev[pkg].dev[i] == pdev) {
uncore_extra_pci_dev[pkg].dev[i] = NULL;
break;
}
}
WARN_ON_ONCE(i >= UNCORE_EXTRA_PCI_DEV_MAX); // <=========== HERE!!
topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() tries to find
cpuinfo_x86->phys_proc_id that matches the phys_pkg argument.
arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c:
int topology_phys_to_logical_pkg(unsigned int phys_pkg)
{
int cpu;
for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &cpu_data(cpu);
if (c->initialized && c->phys_proc_id == phys_pkg)
return c->logical_proc_id;
}
return -1;
}
However, the phys_proc_id was already set to 0 by remove_siblinginfo()
when the CPU was offlined.
So, topology_phys_to_logical_pkg() cannot find the correct
logical_proc_id and always returns -1.
As the result, uncore_pci_remove() calls WARN_ON_ONCE() and the warning
messages are shown.
What is worse is that the bogus 'pkg' index results in two bugs:
- We dereference uncore_extra_pci_dev[] with a negative index
- We fail to clean up a stale pointer in uncore_extra_pci_dev[][]
To fix these bugs, remove the clearing of ->phys_proc_id from remove_siblinginfo().
This should not cause any problems, because ->phys_proc_id is not
used after it is hot-removed and it is re-set while hot-adding.

Pull x86 page table isolation fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Four patches addressing the PTI fallout as discussed and debugged
yesterday:
- Remove stale and pointless TLB flush invocations from the hotplug
code
- Remove stale preempt_disable/enable from __native_flush_tlb()
- Plug the memory leak in the write_ldt() error path"

x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()
x86/smpboot: Remove stale TLB flush invocations
|
|
smpboot_setup_warm_reset_vector() and smpboot_restore_warm_reset_vector()
invoke local_flush_tlb() for no obvious reason.
Digging in history revealed that the original code in the 2.1 era added
those because the code manipulated a swapper_pg_dir pagetable entry. The
pagetable manipulation was removed long ago in the 2.3 timeframe, but the
TLB flush invocations stayed around forever.
Remove them along with the pointless pr_debug()s which come from the same 2.1
change.

Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
"Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
but a late fixup made that moot.
- Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
diagnose failures.
The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
32bit wraparounds.
- Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
the fixmap code
- A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
the TLB functions should be used for what.
- Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
confusing.
- Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
which is only invoked on fork().
- Make vysycall more robust.
- A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
of sync with the index enums.
- Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.
- Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
integration simpler and header files less convoluted.
- Documentation fixes and clarifications"

init_espfix_bsp() needs to be invoked before the page table isolation
initialization. Move it into mm_init() which is the place where pti_init()
will be added.
While at it get rid of the #ifdeffery and provide proper stub functions.
