x86/smp: Use dedicated cache-line for mwait_play_dead()

2023-08-11T09:45:00Z

commit f9c9987bf52f4e42e940ae217333ebb5a4c3b506 upstream. 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.

x86/fpu: Move FPU initialization into arch_cpu_finalize_init()

2023-08-08T17:49:18Z

commit b81fac906a8f9e682e513ddd95697ec7a20878d4 upstream 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, but that's subject to the next installment.

x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try

2020-05-20T06:18:49Z

commit a9a3ed1eff3601b63aea4fb462d8b3b92c7c1e7e upstream. ... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the function which generates the stack canary value. The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel built with gcc-10: Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013 Call Trace: dump_stack panic ? start_secondary __stack_chk_fail start_secondary secondary_startup_64 -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the boot_init_stack_canary() call. To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which generates the stack canary with: __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused) however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options. The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs. The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with -fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm(""). This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?) optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the compiler cannot ignore or move around etc. That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other two solutions too so...

x86/topology: Use total_cpus for max logical packages calculation

2019-01-26T08:32:41Z

[ Upstream commit aa02ef099cff042c2a9109782ec2bf1bffc955d4 ] nr_cpu_ids can be limited on the command line via nr_cpus=. This can break the logical package management because it results in a smaller number of packages while in kdump kernel. Check below case: There is a two sockets system, each socket has 8 cores, which has 16 logical cpus while HT was turn on. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 cores on socket 0 threads on socket 0 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 cores on socket 1 threads on socket 1 While starting the kdump kernel with command line option nr_cpus=16 panic was triggered on one of the cpus 24-31 eg. 26, then online cpu will be 1-15, 26(cpu 0 was disabled in kdump), ncpus will be 16 and __max_logical_packages will be 1, but actually two packages were booted on. This issue can reproduced by set kdump option nr_cpus=, and then trigger panic on last socket's thread, for example: taskset -c 26 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Use total_cpus which will not be limited by nr_cpus command line to calculate the value of __max_logical_packages.

x86: Don't include linux/irq.h from asm/hardirq.h

2018-08-05T07:53:13Z

The next patch in this series will have to make the definition of irq_cpustat_t available to entering_irq(). Inclusion of asm/hardirq.h into asm/apic.h would cause circular header dependencies like asm/smp.h asm/apic.h asm/hardirq.h linux/irq.h linux/topology.h linux/smp.h asm/smp.h or linux/gfp.h linux/mmzone.h asm/mmzone.h asm/mmzone_64.h asm/smp.h asm/apic.h asm/hardirq.h linux/irq.h linux/irqdesc.h linux/kobject.h linux/sysfs.h linux/kernfs.h linux/idr.h linux/gfp.h and others. This causes compilation errors because of the header guards becoming effective in the second inclusion: symbols/macros that had been defined before wouldn't be available to intermediate headers in the #include chain anymore. A possible workaround would be to move the definition of irq_cpustat_t into its own header and include that from both, asm/hardirq.h and asm/apic.h. However, this wouldn't solve the real problem, namely asm/harirq.h unnecessarily pulling in all the linux/irq.h cruft: nothing in asm/hardirq.h itself requires it. Also, note that there are some other archs, like e.g. arm64, which don't have that #include in their asm/hardirq.h. Remove the linux/irq.h #include from x86' asm/hardirq.h. Fix resulting compilation errors by adding appropriate #includes to *.c files as needed. Note that some of these *.c files could be cleaned up a bit wrt. to their set of #includes, but that should better be done from separate patches, if at all.

x86/mm/32: Initialize the CR4 shadow before __flush_tlb_all()

2018-07-03T07:26:10Z

On 32-bit kernels, __flush_tlb_all() may have read the CR4 shadow before the initialization of CR4 shadow in cpu_init(). Fix it by adding an explicit cr4_init_shadow() call into start_secondary() which is the first function called on non-boot SMP CPUs - ahead of the __flush_tlb_all() call. ( This is somewhat of a layering violation, but start_secondary() does CR4 bootstrap in the PCID case anyway. ) Signed-off-by: Zhenzhong Duan Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "H.

x86/smp: Provide topology_is_primary_thread()

2018-06-21T12:20:57Z

If the CPU is supporting SMT then the primary thread can be found by checking the lower APIC ID bits for zero. smp_num_siblings is used to build the mask for the APIC ID bits which need to be taken into account. This uses the MPTABLE or ACPI/MADT supplied APIC ID, which can be different than the initial APIC ID in CPUID. But according to AMD the lower bits have to be consistent. Intel gave a tentative confirmation as well. Preparatory patch to support disabling SMT at boot/runtime. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Ingo Molnar
