[ Upstream commit 912139cfbfa6a2bc1da052314d2c29338dae1f6a ]

The load_microcode_amd() function searches for microcode patches and
attempts to apply a microcode patch if it is of different level than the
currently installed level.

While the processor won't actually load a level that is less than
what is already installed, the logic wrongly returns UCODE_NEW thus
signaling to its caller reload_store() that a late loading should be
attempted.

If the file-system contains an older microcode revision than what is
currently running, such a late microcode reload can result in these
misleading messages:

  x86/CPU: CPU features have changed after loading microcode, but might not take effect.
  x86/CPU: Please consider either early loading through initrd/built-in or a potential BIOS update.

These messages were issued on a system where SME/SEV are not
enabled by the BIOS (MSR C001_0010[23] = 0b) because during boot,
early_detect_mem_encrypt() is called and cleared the SME and SEV
features in this case.

However, after the wrong late load attempt, get_cpu_cap() is called and
reloads the SME and SEV feature bits, resulting in the messages.

Update the microcode level check to not attempt microcode loading if the
current level is greater than(!) and not only equal to the current patch
level.

<title>x86/MCE: Initialize mce.bank in the case of a fatal error in mce_no_way_out()</title>

commit d28af26faa0b1daf3c692603d46bc4687c16f19e upstream.

Internal injection testing crashed with a console log that said:

  mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 7: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 0: bd80000000100134

This caused a lot of head scratching because the MCACOD (bits 15:0) of
that status is a signature from an L1 data cache error. But Linux says
that it found it in "Bank 0", which on this model CPU only reports L1
instruction cache errors.

The answer was that Linux doesn't initialize "m-&gt;bank" in the case that
it finds a fatal error in the mce_no_way_out() pre-scan of banks. If
this was a local machine check, then this partially initialized struct
mce is being passed to mce_panic().

Fix is simple: just initialize m-&gt;bank in the case of a fatal error.

<title>cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVM</title>
<updated>2019-02-12T19:02:37Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f29a8be0e5d28f89c835cbae700e67a383280916'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f29a8be0e5d28f89c835cbae700e67a383280916</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b284909abad48b07d3071a9fc9b5692b3e64914b upstream.

With the following commit:

  73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")

... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled.  However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case.  So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.

Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:

  1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
     "notsupported"; and

  2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.

I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem.  Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later.  So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).

The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.

So fix it by:

  a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:

     73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
     bc2d8d262cba ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")

     and

  b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
     instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
     warning is needed.  This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
     variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix rdt_find_domain() return value and checks</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 52eb74339a6233c69f4e3794b69ea7c98eeeae1b ]

rdt_find_domain() returns an ERR_PTR() that is generated from a provided
domain id when the value is negative.

Care needs to be taken when creating an ERR_PTR() from this value
because a subsequent check using IS_ERR() expects the error to
be within the MAX_ERRNO range. Using an invalid domain id as an
ERR_PTR() does work at this time since this is currently always -1.
Using this undocumented assumption is fragile since future users of
rdt_find_domain() may not be aware of thus assumption.

Two related issues are addressed:

- Ensure that rdt_find_domain() always returns a valid error value by
forcing the error to be -ENODEV when a negative domain id is provided.

- In a few instances the return value of rdt_find_domain() is just
checked for NULL - fix these to include a check of ERR_PTR.

commit 5b5e4d623ec8a34689df98e42d038a3b594d2ff9 upstream.

Swap storage is restricted to max_swapfile_size (~16TB on x86_64) whenever
the system is deemed affected by L1TF vulnerability. Even though the limit
is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for
deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled.

We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is
clearly out of the limit.

Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make
much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is
forcefully disabled by the administrator.

<title>x86/intel_rdt: Ensure a CPU remains online for the region's pseudo-locking sequence</title>

<id>urn:sha1:80b71c340f17705ec145911b9a193ea781811b16</id>
<content type='text'>
The user triggers the creation of a pseudo-locked region when writing
the requested schemata to the schemata resctrl file. The pseudo-locking
of a region is required to be done on a CPU that is associated with the
cache on which the pseudo-locked region will reside. In order to run the
locking code on a specific CPU, the needed CPU has to be selected and
ensured to remain online during the entire locking sequence.

At this time, the cpu_hotplug_lock is not taken during the pseudo-lock
region creation and it is thus possible for a CPU to be selected to run
the pseudo-locking code and then that CPU to go offline before the
thread is able to run on it.

Fix this by ensuring that the cpu_hotplug_lock is taken while the CPU on
which code has to run needs to be controlled. Since the cpu_hotplug_lock
is always taken before rdtgroup_mutex the lock order is maintained.
