Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update for SMP management:
- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
downtime of the VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
on the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
onlining procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
mechanism into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
which needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
would be justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Initialize FPU late.
Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
alternatives are patched.
That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
name suggests.
So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes
it clear what this is about.
Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
know the FPU register buffer size.
With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile
part of the x86 bringup"

To facilitate diskless iSCSI boot, the firmware can place a table of
configuration details in memory called the iBFT. The presence of this
table is not specified, nor is the precise location (and it's not in the
E820) so the kernel has to search for a magic marker to find it.
When running under Xen, Dom 0 does not have access to the entire host's
memory, only certain regions which are identity-mapped which means that
the pseudo-physical address in Dom0 == real host physical address.
Add the iBFT search bounds as a reserved region which causes it to be
identity-mapped in xen_set_identity_and_remap_chunk() which allows Dom0
access to the specific physical memory to correctly search for the iBFT
magic marker (and later access the full table).
This necessitates moving the call to reserve_ibft_region() somewhat
later so that it is called after e820__memory_setup() which is when the
Xen identity mapping adjustments are applied. The precise location of
the call is not too important so I've put it alongside dmi_setup() which
does similar scanning of memory for configuration tables.
Finally in the iBFT find code, instead of using isa_bus_to_virt() which
doesn't do the right thing under Xen, use early_memremap() like the
dmi_setup() code does.
The result of these changes is that it is possible to boot a diskless
Xen + Dom0 running off an iSCSI disk whereas previously it would fail to
find the iBFT and consequently, the iSCSI root disk.

The previous patch ("function_graph: Support recording and printing
the return value of function") has laid the groundwork for the for
the funcgraph-retval, and this modification makes it available on
the x86 platform.
We introduce a new structure called fgraph_ret_regs for the x86
platform to hold return registers and the frame pointer. We then
fill its content in the return_to_handler and pass its address
to the function ftrace_return_to_handler to record the return
value.

Parking CPUs in a HLT loop is not completely safe vs. kexec() as HLT can
resume execution due to NMI, SMI and MCE, which has the same issue as the
MWAIT loop.
Kicking the secondary CPUs into INIT makes this safe against NMI and SMI.
A broadcast MCE will take the machine down, but a broadcast MCE which makes
HLT resume and execute overwritten text, pagetables or data will end up in
a disaster too.
So chose the lesser of two evils and kick the secondary CPUs into INIT
unless the system has installed special wakeup mechanisms which are not
using INIT.

Putting CPUs into INIT is a safer place during kexec() to park CPUs.

TLDR: It's a mess.
When kexec() is executed on a system with offline CPUs, which are parked in
mwait_play_dead() it can end up in a triple fault during the bootup of the
kexec kernel or cause hard to diagnose data corruption.
The reason is that kexec() eventually overwrites the previous kernel's text,
page tables, data and stack. If it writes to the cache line which is
monitored by a previously offlined CPU, MWAIT resumes execution and ends
up executing the wrong text, dereferencing overwritten page tables or
corrupting the kexec kernels data.
Cure this by bringing the offlined CPUs out of MWAIT into HLT.
Write to the monitored cache line of each offline CPU, which makes MWAIT
resume execution. The written control word tells the offlined CPUs to issue
HLT, which does not have the MWAIT problem.
That does not help, if a stray NMI, MCE or SMI hits the offlined CPUs as
those make it come out of HLT.
A follow up change will put them into INIT, which protects at least against
NMI and SMI.

Monitoring idletask::thread_info::flags in mwait_play_dead() has been an
obvious choice as all what is needed is a cache line which is not written
by other CPUs.
But there is a use case where a "dead" CPU needs to be brought out of
MWAIT: kexec().
This is required as kexec() can overwrite text, pagetables, stacks and the
monitored cacheline of the original kernel. The latter causes MWAIT to
resume execution which obviously causes havoc on the kexec kernel which
results usually in triple faults.
Use a dedicated per CPU storage to prepare for that.

stop_this_cpu() tests CPUID leaf 0x8000001f::EAX unconditionally. Intel
CPUs return the content of the highest supported leaf when a non-existing
leaf is read, while AMD CPUs return all zeros for unsupported leafs.
So the result of the test on Intel CPUs is lottery.
While harmless it's incorrect and causes the conditional wbinvd() to be
issued where not required.
Check whether the leaf is supported before reading it.

Tony reported intermittent lockups on poweroff. His analysis identified the
wbinvd() in stop_this_cpu() as the culprit. This was added to ensure that
on SME enabled machines a kexec() does not leave any stale data in the
caches when switching from encrypted to non-encrypted mode or vice versa.
That wbinvd() is conditional on the SME feature bit which is read directly
from CPUID. But that readout does not check whether the CPUID leaf is
available or not. If it's not available the CPU will return the value of
the highest supported leaf instead. Depending on the content the "SME" bit
might be set or not.
That's incorrect but harmless. Making the CPUID readout conditional makes
the observed hangs go away, but it does not fix the underlying problem:
CPU0 CPU1
stop_other_cpus()
send_IPIs(REBOOT); stop_this_cpu()
while (num_online_cpus() > 1); set_online(false);
proceed... -> hang
wbinvd()
WBINVD is an expensive operation and if multiple CPUs issue it at the same
time the resulting delays are even larger.
But CPU0 already observed num_online_cpus() going down to 1 and proceeds
which causes the system to hang.
This issue exists independent of WBINVD, but the delays caused by WBINVD
make it more prominent.
Make this more robust by adding a cpumask which is initialized to the
online CPU mask before sending the IPIs and CPUs clear their bit in
stop_this_cpu() after the WBINVD completed. Check for that cpumask to
become empty in stop_other_cpus() instead of watching num_online_cpus().
The cpumask cannot plug all holes either, but it's better than a raw
counter and allows to restrict the NMI fallback IPI to be sent only the
CPUs which have not reported within the timeout window.

When booting with "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" on the kernel command
line, the physical x2APIC driver ends up being used even when x2APIC
mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode). This happens
because the first compound condition check in x2apic_phys_probe() is
false due to x2apic_mode == 0 and so the following one returns true
after default_acpi_madt_oem_check() having already selected the physical
x2APIC driver.
This results in the following panic:

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

Initializing the FPU during the early boot process is a pointless
exercise. Early boot is convoluted and fragile enough.
Nothing requires that the FPU is set up early. It has to be initialized
before fork_init() because the task_struct size depends on the FPU register
buffer size.
Move the initialization to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which is the perfect
place to do so.
No functional change.
This allows to remove quite some of the custom early command line parsing,

Debugging in the kernel has started slowing down the kernel by a
noticeable amount. The ftrace start up tests are triggering the softlockup
watchdog on some boxes. This is caused by the start up tests that enable
function and function graph tracing several times. Sprinkling
cond_resched() just in the start up test code was not enough to stop the
softlockup from triggering. It would sometimes trigger in the
text_poke_bp_batch() code.
When function tracing enables all functions, it will call
text_poke_queue() to queue the places that need to be patched. Every
256 entries will do a "flush" that calls text_poke_bp_batch() to do the
update of the 256 locations. As this is in a scheduleable context,
calling cond_resched() at the start of text_poke_bp_batch() will ensure
that other tasks could get a chance to run while the patching is
happening. This keeps the softlockup from triggering in the start up
tests.

If &encl_mm->encl->mm_list does not contain the searched 'encl_mm',
'tmp' will not point to a valid sgx_encl_mm struct.
Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator variable after the
loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator variable declaration into
the macro to avoid any potential misuse after the loop. Using it in
a pointer comparison after the loop is undefined behavior and should be
omitted if possible, see Link tag.
Instead, just use a 'found' boolean to indicate if an element was found.

Patch series "remove the vmas parameter from GUP APIs", v6.
(pin_/get)_user_pages[_remote]() each provide an optional output parameter
for an array of VMA objects associated with each page in the input range.
These provide the means for VMAs to be returned, as long as mm->mmap_lock
is never released during the GUP operation (i.e. the internal flag
FOLL_UNLOCKABLE is not specified).
In addition, these VMAs can only be accessed with the mmap_lock held and
become invalidated the moment it is released.
The vast majority of invocations do not use this functionality and of
those that do, all but one case retrieve a single VMA to perform checks
upon.
It is not egregious in the single VMA cases to simply replace the
operation with a vma_lookup(). In these cases we duplicate the (fast)
lookup on a slow path already under the mmap_lock, abstracted to a new
get_user_page_vma_remote() inline helper function which also performs
error checking and reference count maintenance.
The special case is io_uring, where io_pin_pages() specifically needs to
assert that the VMAs underlying the range do not result in broken
long-term GUP file-backed mappings.
As GUP now internally asserts that FOLL_LONGTERM mappings are not
file-backed in a broken fashion (i.e. requiring dirty tracking) - as
implemented in "mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-nonfast writing to
file-backed mappings" - this logic is no longer required and so we can
simply remove it altogether from io_uring.
Eliminating the vmas parameter eliminates an entire class of danging
pointer errors that might have occured should the lock have been
incorrectly released.
In addition, the API is simplified and now clearly expresses what it is
intended for - applying the specified GUP flags and (if pinning) returning
pinned pages.
This change additionally opens the door to further potential improvements
in GUP and the possible marrying of disparate code paths.
I have run this series against gup_test with no issues.
Thanks to Matthew Wilcox for suggesting this refactoring!
This patch (of 6):
No invocation of get_user_pages() use the vmas parameter, so remove it.
The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to
improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime
target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use
after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling
pointers.
Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary
purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions
implied by the input flags.
This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter
altogether.

Some hypervisor interrupts (such as for Hyper-V VMbus and Hyper-V timers)
have hardcoded interrupt vectors on x86 and don't have Linux IRQs assigned.
These interrupts are shown in /proc/interrupts, but are not reported in
the first field of the "intr" line in /proc/stat because the x86 version
of arch_irq_stat_cpu() doesn't include them.
Fix this by adding code to arch_irq_stat_cpu() to include these interrupts,
similar to existing interrupts that don't have Linux IRQs.
Use #if IS_ENABLED() because unlike all the other nearby #ifdefs,
CONFIG_HYPERV can be built as a module.

To change the resources allocated to a large group of tasks, such as an
application container, a container manager must write all of the tasks'
IDs into the tasks file interface of the new control group. This is
challenging when the container's task list is always changing.
In addition, if the container manager is using monitoring groups to
separately track the bandwidth of containers assigned to the same
control group, when moving a container, it must first move the
container's tasks to the default monitoring group of the new control
group before it can move these tasks into the container's replacement
monitoring group under the destination control group. This is
undesirable because it makes bandwidth usage during the move
unattributable to the correct tasks and resets monitoring event counters
and cache usage information for the group.
Implement the rename operation only for resctrlfs monitor groups to
enable users to move a monitoring group from one control group to
another. This effects a change in resources allocated to all the tasks
in the monitoring group while otherwise leaving the monitoring data
intact.

Add SNP-specific hooks to the unaccepted memory support in the boot
path (__accept_memory()) and the core kernel (accept_memory()) in order
to support booting SNP guests when unaccepted memory is present. Without
this support, SNP guests will fail to boot and/or panic() when unaccepted
memory is present in the EFI memory map.
The process of accepting memory under SNP involves invoking the hypervisor
to perform a page state change for the page to private memory and then
issuing a PVALIDATE instruction to accept the page.
Since the boot path and the core kernel paths perform similar operations,
move the pvalidate_pages() and vmgexit_psc() functions into sev-shared.c
to avoid code duplication.
Create the new header file arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.h because adding
the function declaration to any of the existing SEV related header files
pulls in too many other header files, causing the build to fail.

In advance of providing support for unaccepted memory, request 2M Page
State Change (PSC) requests when the address range allows for it. By using
a 2M page size, more PSC operations can be handled in a single request to
the hypervisor. The hypervisor will determine if it can accommodate the
larger request by checking the mapping in the nested page table. If mapped
as a large page, then the 2M page request can be performed, otherwise the
2M page request will be broken down into 512 4K page requests. This is
still more efficient than having the guest perform multiple PSC requests
in order to process the 512 4K pages.
In conjunction with the 2M PSC requests, attempt to perform the associated
PVALIDATE instruction of the page using the 2M page size. If PVALIDATE
fails with a size mismatch, then fallback to validating 512 4K pages. To
do this, page validation is modified to work with the PSC structure and
not just a virtual address range.

Using a GHCB for a page stage change (as opposed to the MSR protocol)
allows for multiple pages to be processed in a single request. In prep
for early PSC requests in support of unaccepted memory, update the
invocation of vmgexit_psc() to be able to use the early boot GHCB and not
just the per-CPU GHCB structure.
In order to use the proper GHCB (early boot vs per-CPU), set a flag that
indicates when the per-CPU GHCBs are available and registered. For APs,
the per-CPU GHCBs are created before they are started and registered upon
startup, so this flag can be used globally for the BSP and APs instead of
creating a per-CPU flag. This will allow for a significant reduction in
the number of MSR protocol page state change requests when accepting
memory.

In advance of providing support for unaccepted memory, switch from using
kmalloc() for allocating the Page State Change (PSC) structure to using a
local variable that lives on the stack. This is needed to avoid a possible
recursive call into set_pages_state() if the kmalloc() call requires
(more) memory to be accepted, which would result in a hang.
The current size of the PSC struct is 2,032 bytes. To make the struct more
stack friendly, reduce the number of PSC entries from 253 down to 64,
resulting in a size of 520 bytes. This is a nice compromise on struct size
and total PSC requests while still allowing parallel PSC operations across
vCPUs.
If the reduction in PSC entries results in any kind of performance issue
(that is not seen at the moment), use of a larger static PSC struct, with
fallback to the smaller stack version, can be investigated.
For more background info on this decision, see the subthread in the Link:

The AMD MI200 series accelerators are data center GPUs. They include
unified memory controllers and a data fabric similar to those used in
AMD x86 CPU products. The memory controllers report errors using MCA,
though these errors are generally handled through GPU drivers that
directly manage the accelerator device.
In some configurations, memory errors from these devices will be
reported through MCA and managed by x86 CPUs. The OS is expected to
handle these errors in similar fashion to MCA errors originating from
memory controllers on the CPUs. In Linux, this flow includes passing MCA
errors to a notifier chain with handlers in the EDAC subsystem.
The AMD64 EDAC module requires information from the memory controllers
and data fabric in order to provide detailed decoding of memory errors.
The information is read from hardware registers accessed through
interfaces in the data fabric.
The accelerator data fabrics are visible to the host x86 CPUs as PCI
devices just like x86 CPU data fabrics are already. However, the
accelerator fabrics have new and unique PCI IDs.
Add PCI IDs for the MI200 series of accelerator devices in order to
enable EDAC support. The data fabrics of the accelerator devices will be
enumerated as any other fabric already supported. System-specific
implementation details will be handled within the AMD64 EDAC module.

The call to startup_64_setup_env() will install a new GDT but does not
actually switch to using the KERNEL_CS entry until returning from the
function call.
Commit bcce82908333 ("x86/sev: Detect/setup SEV/SME features earlier in
boot") moved the call to sme_enable() earlier in the boot process and in
between the call to startup_64_setup_env() and the switch to KERNEL_CS.
An SEV-ES or an SEV-SNP guest will trigger #VC exceptions during the call
to sme_enable() and if the CS pushed on the stack as part of the exception
and used by IRETQ is not mapped by the new GDT, then problems occur.
Today, the current CS when entering startup_64 is the kernel CS value
because it was set up by the decompressor code, so no issue is seen.
However, a recent patchset that looked to avoid using the legacy
decompressor during an EFI boot exposed this bug. At entry to startup_64,
the CS value is that of EFI and is not mapped in the new kernel GDT. So
when a #VC exception occurs, the CS value used by IRETQ is not valid and
the guest boot crashes.
Fix this issue by moving the block that switches to the KERNEL_CS value to
be done immediately after returning from startup_64_setup_env().

When switching from kthreads to vhost_tasks two bugs were added:
1. The vhost worker tasks's now show up as processes so scripts doing
ps or ps a would not incorrectly detect the vhost task as another
process. 2. kthreads disabled freeze by setting PF_NOFREEZE, but
vhost tasks's didn't disable or add support for them.
To fix both bugs, this switches the vhost task to be thread in the
process that does the VHOST_SET_OWNER ioctl, and has vhost_worker call
get_signal to support SIGKILL/SIGSTOP and freeze signals. Note that
SIGKILL/STOP support is required because CLONE_THREAD requires
CLONE_SIGHAND which requires those 2 signals to be supported.
This is a modified version of the patch written by Mike Christie
<michael.christie@oracle.com> which was a modified version of patch
originally written by Linus.
Much of what depended upon PF_IO_WORKER now depends on PF_USER_WORKER.
Including ignoring signals, setting up the register state, and having
get_signal return instead of calling do_group_exit.
Tidied up the vhost_task abstraction so that the definition of
vhost_task only needs to be visible inside of vhost_task.c. Making
it easier to review the code and tell what needs to be done where.
As part of this the main loop has been moved from vhost_worker into
vhost_task_fn. vhost_worker now returns true if work was done.
The main loop has been updated to call get_signal which handles
SIGSTOP, freezing, and collects the message that tells the thread to
exit as part of process exit. This collection clears
__fatal_signal_pending. This collection is not guaranteed to
clear signal_pending() so clear that explicitly so the schedule()
sleeps.
For now the vhost thread continues to exist and run work until the
last file descriptor is closed and the release function is called as
part of freeing struct file. To avoid hangs in the coredump
rendezvous and when killing threads in a multi-threaded exec. The
coredump code and de_thread have been modified to ignore vhost threads.
Remvoing the special case for exec appears to require teaching
vhost_dev_flush how to directly complete transactions in case
the vhost thread is no longer running.
Removing the special case for coredump rendezvous requires either the
above fix needed for exec or moving the coredump rendezvous into
get_signal.
