x86/cpu: Add a "tsx=" cmdline option with TSX disabled by default

2019-11-12T18:18:59Z

commit 95c5824f75f3ba4c9e8e5a4b1a623c95390ac266 upstream. Add a kernel cmdline parameter "tsx" to control the Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) feature. On CPUs that support TSX control, use "tsx=on|off" to enable or disable TSX. Not specifying this option is equivalent to "tsx=off". This is because on certain processors TSX may be used as a part of a speculative side channel attack. Carve out the TSX controlling functionality into a separate compilation unit because TSX is a CPU feature while the TSX async abort control machinery will go to cpu/bugs.c.

x86 / CPU: Always show current CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo

2018-01-10T08:31:20Z

commit 7d5905dc14a87805a59f3c5bf70173aac2bb18f8 upstream. After commit 890da9cf0983 (Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get() for /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz"") the "cpu MHz" number in /proc/cpuinfo on x86 can be either the nominal CPU frequency (which is constant) or the frequency most recently requested by a scaling governor in cpufreq, depending on the cpufreq configuration. That is somewhat inconsistent and is different from what it was before 4.13, so in order to restore the previous behavior, make it report the current CPU frequency like the scaling_cur_freq sysfs file in cpufreq. To that end, modify the /proc/cpuinfo implementation on x86 to use aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() to snapshot the APERF and MPERF feedback registers, if available, and use their values to compute the CPU frequency to be reported as "cpu MHz". However, do that carefully enough to avoid accumulating delays that lead to unacceptable access times for /proc/cpuinfo on systems with many CPUs. Run aperfmperf_snapshot_khz() once on all CPUs asynchronously at the /proc/cpuinfo open time, add a single delay upfront (if necessary) at that point and simply compute the current frequency while running show_cpuinfo() for each individual CPU. Also, to avoid slowing down /proc/cpuinfo accesses too much, reduce the default delay between consecutive APERF and MPERF reads to 10 ms, which should be sufficient to get large enough numbers for the frequency computation in all cases.

x86/cpuid: Add generic table for CPUID dependencies

2017-12-25T13:26:14Z

commit 0b00de857a648dafe7020878c7a27cf776f5edf4 upstream. Some CPUID features depend on other features. Currently it's possible to to clear dependent features, but not clear the base features, which can cause various interesting problems. This patch implements a generic table to describe dependencies between CPUID features, to be used by all code that clears CPUID. Some subsystems (like XSAVE) had an own implementation of this, but it's better to do it all in a single place for everyone. Then clear_cpu_cap and setup_clear_cpu_cap always look up this table and clear all dependencies too. This is intended to be a practical table: only for features that make sense to clear. If someone for example clears FPU, or other features that are essentially part of the required base feature set, not much is going to work. Handling that is right now out of scope. We're only handling features which can be usefully cleared.

Revert "x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo"

2017-11-10T19:19:11Z

This reverts commit 941f5f0f6ef5338814145cf2b813cf1f98873e2f. Sadly, it turns out that we really can't just do the cross-CPU IPI to all CPU's to get their proper frequencies, because it's much too expensive on systems with lots of cores. So we'll have to revert this for now, and revisit it using a smarter model (probably doing one system-wide IPI at open time, and doing all the frequency calculations in parallel).

x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo

2017-11-03T15:50:13Z

Commit 890da9cf0983 (Revert "x86: do not use cpufreq_quick_get() for /proc/cpuinfo "cpu MHz"") is not sufficient to restore the previous behavior of "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo on x86 due to some changes made after the commit it has reverted. To address this, make the code in question use arch_freq_get_on_cpu() which also is used by cpufreq for reporting the current frequency of CPUs and since that function doesn't really depend on cpufreq in any way, drop the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ dependency for the object file containing it. Also refactor arch_freq_get_on_cpu() somewhat to avoid IPIs and return cached values right away if it is called very often over a short time (to prevent user space from triggering IPI storms through it).

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to calculate KHz using APERF/MPERF

2017-06-26T23:47:32Z

The goal of this change is to give users a uniform and meaningful result when they read /sys/...cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq on modern x86 hardware, as compared to what they get today. Modern x86 processors include the hardware needed to accurately calculate frequency over an interval -- APERF, MPERF, and the TSC. Here we provide an x86 routine to make this calculation on supported hardware, and use it in preference to any driver driver-specific cpufreq_driver.get() routine. MHz is computed like so: MHz = base_MHz * delta_APERF / delta_MPERF MHz is the average frequency of the busy processor over a measurement interval. The interval is defined to be the time between successive invocations of aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu(), which are expected to to happen on-demand when users read sysfs attribute cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. As with previous methods of calculating MHz, idle time is excluded. base_MHz above is from TSC calibration global "cpu_khz". This x86 native method to calculate MHz returns a meaningful result no matter if P-states are controlled by hardware or firmware and/or if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is or is-not installed. When this routine is invoked more frequently, the measurement interval becomes shorter. However, the code limits re-computation to 10ms intervals so that average frequency remains meaningful. Discerning users are encouraged to take advantage of the turbostat(8) utility, which can gracefully handle concurrent measurement intervals of arbitrary length.
