commit d8df126349dad855cdfedd6bbf315bad2e901c2f upstream.

Since

  923f3a2b48bd ("x86/resctrl: Query LLC monitoring properties once during boot")

resctrl_cpu_detect() has been moved from common CPU initialization code to
the vendor-specific BSP init helper, while Hygon didn't put that call in their
code.

This triggers a division by zero fault during early booting stage on our
machines with X86_FEATURE_CQM* supported, where get_rdt_mon_resources() tries
to calculate mon_l3_config with uninitialized boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_occ_scale.

Add the missing resctrl_cpu_detect() in the Hygon BSP init helper.

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the
&lt;asm/msr.h&gt; header, even though there's an &lt;asm/tsc.h&gt; header.

To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from &lt;asm/msr.h&gt;
to &lt;asm/tsc.h&gt; and to eventually eliminate the inclusion of
&lt;asm/msr.h&gt; in &lt;asm/tsc.h&gt;, add an explicit &lt;asm/msr.h&gt; dependency
to the source files that reference definitions from &lt;asm/msr.h&gt;.

Commit:

  e0ba94f14f74 ("x86/tlb_info: get last level TLB entry number of CPU")

introduced u16 "info" arrays for each TLB type.

Since 2012 and each array stores just one type of information: the
number of TLB entries for its respective TLB type.

Replace such arrays with simple variables.

<title>x86/barrier: Do not serialize MSR accesses on AMD</title>
<updated>2023-11-13T09:09:45Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Borislav Petkov (AMD)</name>
</author>
<published>2023-10-27T12:24:16Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=04c3024560d3a14acd18d0a51a1d0a89d29b7eb5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:04c3024560d3a14acd18d0a51a1d0a89d29b7eb5</id>
<content type='text'>
AMD does not have the requirement for a synchronization barrier when
acccessing a certain group of MSRs. Do not incur that unnecessary
penalty there.

There will be a CPUID bit which explicitly states that a MFENCE is not
needed. Once that bit is added to the APM, this will be extended with
it.

While at it, move to processor.h to avoid include hell. Untangling that
file properly is a matter for another day.

Some notes on the performance aspect of why this is relevant, courtesy
of Kishon VijayAbraham &lt;Kishon.VijayAbraham@amd.com&gt;:

On a AMD Zen4 system with 96 cores, a modified ipi-bench[1] on a VM
shows x2AVIC IPI rate is 3% to 4% lower than AVIC IPI rate. The
ipi-bench is modified so that the IPIs are sent between two vCPUs in the
same CCX. This also requires to pin the vCPU to a physical core to
prevent any latencies. This simulates the use case of pinning vCPUs to
the thread of a single CCX to avoid interrupt IPI latency.

In order to avoid run-to-run variance (for both x2AVIC and AVIC), the
below configurations are done:

  1) Disable Power States in BIOS (to prevent the system from going to
     lower power state)

  2) Run the system at fixed frequency 2500MHz (to prevent the system
     from increasing the frequency when the load is more)

With the above configuration:

*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for AVIC:
  Average Latency:  1124.98ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]

  Cumulative throughput: 42.6759M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
  				     48 vCPUs simultaneously]

*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
  Average Latency:  1172.42ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]

  Cumulative throughput: 40.9432M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
  				     48 vCPUs simultaneously]

From above, x2AVIC latency is ~4% more than AVIC. However, the expectation is
x2AVIC performance to be better or equivalent to AVIC. Upon analyzing
the perf captures, it is observed significant time is spent in
weak_wrmsr_fence() invoked by x2apic_send_IPI().

With the fix to skip weak_wrmsr_fence()

*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
  Average Latency:  1117.44ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]

  Cumulative throughput: 42.9608M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
  				     48 vCPUs simultaneously]

Comparing the performance of x2AVIC with and without the fix, it can be seen
the performance improves by ~4%.

Performance captured using an unmodified ipi-bench using the 'mesh-ipi' option
with and without weak_wrmsr_fence() on a Zen4 system also showed significant
performance improvement without weak_wrmsr_fence(). The 'mesh-ipi' option ignores
CCX or CCD and just picks random vCPU.

  Average throughput (10 iterations) with weak_wrmsr_fence(),
        Cumulative throughput: 4933374 IPI/s

  Average throughput (10 iterations) without weak_wrmsr_fence(),
        Cumulative throughput: 6355156 IPI/s

<id>urn:sha1:eb55307e6716b1a02f7db05e27d60e8ca2289c03</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have
   a model ID less than 4.

   The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB correctly
   implemented and are not affected.

 - Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures

   SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or
   runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to
   disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors.

   It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and
   worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration
   which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By
   chance a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes
   the hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask
   is never evaluated.

   The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up
   with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not
   supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core
   to deny the bringup of the APS.

   Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not
   implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be
   booted or not.

 - Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV

   Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the
   usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent
   with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or
   even non-existent.

 - Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86

   Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data
   structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology
   evaluation overhaul.

 - Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32

   It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned
   long or whatever developers decided to use.

 - Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs.

   Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die IDs.
   That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is subject
   to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online cycle.

   Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further
   topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology
   management is in place.

 - Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information

   Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology
   management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility.

The topology IDs which identify the LLC and L2 domains clearly belong to
the per CPU topology information.

Move them into cpuinfo_x86::cpuinfo_topo and get rid of the extra per CPU
data and the related exports.

This also paves the way to do proper topology evaluation during early boot
because it removes the only per CPU dependency for that.

No functional change.
