After:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

our  SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because
the ThreadId is included in the ApicId when SMT is enabled.

So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

Commit:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.

Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.

That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.

When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

The following commit:

  8196dab4fc15 ("x86/cpu: Get rid of compute_unit_id")

... broke the initial strategy for Bulldozer-based cores' topology,
where we consider each thread of a compute unit a standalone core
and not a HT or SMT thread.

Revert to the firmware-supplied core_id numbering and do not make
them thread siblings as we don't consider them for such even if they
technically are, more or less.

 "There were two bigger changes in this development cycle:

   - remove idle notifiers:

       32 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 803 deletions(-)

     These notifiers were of questionable value and the main usecase,
     the i7300 driver, was essentially unmaintained and can be removed,
     plus modern power management concepts don't need the callback - so
     use this golden opportunity and get rid of this opaque and fragile
     callback from a latency sensitive code path.

   - improve the AMD Erratum 400 workaround that used high overhead MSR

<id>urn:sha1:3344ed30791af66dbbad5f375008f3d1863b6c99</id>
<content type='text'>
The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E
state) is a two step process:

 - Selection of the E400 aware idle routine

 - Detection whether the platform is affected

The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on
family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily
affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the
firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot.

The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to
detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected
CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read.

There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time
which requires to seperate the bug flags:

  X86_BUG_AMD_E400 	- Selects the E400 aware idle routine and
  			  enables the detection
			  
  X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E  - Set when the platform is affected by E400

Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400
bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional
detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches
to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.

<title>x86/cpu/AMD: Clean up cpu_llc_id assignment per topology feature</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b6a50cddbcbda7105355898ead18f1a647c22520</id>
<content type='text'>
These changes do not affect current hw - just a cleanup:

Currently, we assume that a system has a single Last Level Cache (LLC)
per node, and that the cpu_llc_id is thus equal to the node_id. This no
longer applies since Fam17h can have multiple last level caches within a
node.

So group the cpu_llc_id assignment by topology feature and family in
order to make the computation of cpu_llc_id on the different families
more clear.

Here is how the LLC ID is being computed on the different families:

The NODEID_MSR feature only applies to Fam10h in which case the LLC is
at the node level.

The TOPOEXT feature is used on families 15h, 16h and 17h. So far we only
see multiple last level caches if L3 caches are available. Otherwise,
the cpu_llc_id will default to be the phys_proc_id.

We have L3 caches only on families 15h and 17h:

 - on Fam15h, the LLC is at the node level.

 - on Fam17h, the LLC is at the core complex level and can be found by
   right shifting the APIC ID. Also, keep the family checks explicit so that
   new families will fall back to the default, which will be node_id for
   TOPOEXT systems.

Single node systems in families 10h and 15h will have a Node ID of 0
which will be the same as the phys_proc_id, so we don't need to check
for multiple nodes before using the node_id.

<id>urn:sha1:b0b6e86846093c5f8820386bc01515f857dd8faa</id>
<content type='text'>
cpu_llc_id (Last Level Cache ID) derivation on AMD Fam17h has an
underflow bug when extracting the socket_id value. It starts from 0
so subtracting 1 from it will result in an invalid value. This breaks
scheduling topology later on since the cpu_llc_id will be incorrect.

For example, the the cpu_llc_id of the *other* CPU in the loops in
set_cpu_sibling_map() underflows and we're generating the funniest
thread_siblings masks and then when I run 8 threads of nbench, they get
spread around the LLC domains in a very strange pattern which doesn't
give you the normal scheduling spread one would expect for performance.

Other things like EDAC use cpu_llc_id so they will be b0rked too.

So, the APIC ID is preset in APICx020 for bits 3 and above: they contain
the core complex, node and socket IDs.

The LLC is at the core complex level so we can find a unique cpu_llc_id
by right shifting the APICID by 3 because then the least significant bit
will be the Core Complex ID.

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave
unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes
there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it
ourselves unconditionally. It is simple enough.

We need to reenable the topology extensions CPUID leafs on newer models
too, if BIOS has disabled them, as we rely on them to get proper compute
unit topology.

Make the printk a once thing, while at it.
