commit ff8560512b8d4b7ca3ef4fd69166634ac30b2525 upstream.

Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.

No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my
P3 machine boots again.

<id>urn:sha1:0480b221143bfaefd4a65f885cd7ba81459d968a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2a51fe083eba7f99cbda72f5ef90cdf2f4df882c upstream.

When a CPU is physically added to a system then the MADT table is not
updated.

If subsequently a kdump kernel is started on that physically added CPU then
the ACPI enumeration fails to provide the information for this CPU which is
now the boot CPU of the kdump kernel.

As a consequence, generic_processor_info() is not invoked for that CPU so
the number of enumerated processors is 0 and none of the initializations,
including the logical package id management, are performed.

We have code which relies on the correctness of the logical package map and
other information which is initialized via generic_processor_info().
Executing such code will result in undefined behaviour or kernel crashes.

This problem applies only to the kdump kernel because a normal kexec will
switch to the original boot CPU, which is enumerated in MADT, before
jumping into the kexec kernel.

The boot code already has a check for num_processors equal 0 in
prefill_possible_map(). We can use that check as an indicator that the
enumeration of the boot CPU did not happen and invoke generic_processor_info()
for it. That initializes the relevant data for the boot CPU and therefore
prevents subsequent failure.

<title>x86/apic: Get rid of apic_version[] array</title>

commit cff9ab2b291e64259d97add48fe073c081afe4e2 upstream.

The array has a size of MAX_LOCAL_APIC, which can be as large as 32k, so it
can consume up to 128k.

The array has been there forever and was never used for anything useful
other than a version mismatch check which was introduced in 2009.

There is no reason to store the version in an array. The kernel is not
prepared to handle different APIC versions anyway, so the real important
part is to detect a version mismatch and warn about it, which can be done
with a single variable as well.

Frank reported kernel panic when he disabled several cores in BIOS
via following option:

  Core Disable Bitmap(Hex)   [0]

with number 0xFFE, which leaves 16 CPUs in system (out of 48).

The kernel panic below goes along with following messages:

 smpboot: Max logical packages: 2^M
 smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0^M
 smpboot: APIC(20) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1^M

  [&lt;ffffffff816dc190&gt;] ? rest_init+0x80/0x80^M

The reason for the panic is wrong value of __max_logical_packages,
which lets logical_package_map uninitialized and the uncore code
relying on this map being properly initialized (maybe we should
add some safety checks there as well).

The __max_logical_packages is computed as:

  DIV_ROUND_UP(total_cpus, ncpus);
  - ncpus being number of cores

With above BIOS setup we get total_cpus == 16 which set
__max_logical_packages to 2 (ncpus is 12).

Once topology_update_package_map processes CPU with logical
pkg over 2 we display above messages and fail to initialize
the physical_to_logical_pkg map, which makes the uncore code
crash.

The fix is to remove logical_package_map bitmap completely
and keep and update the logical_packages number instead.

After we enumerate all the present CPUs, we check if the
enumerated logical packages count is within its computed
maximum from BIOS data.

If it's not the case, we set this maximum to the new enumerated
value and freeze any new addition of logical packages.

The freeze is because lot of init code like uncore/rapl/cqm
depends on having maximum logical package value set to allocate
their data, so we can't change it later on.

Prarit Bhargava tested the patch and confirms that it solves
the problem:

  From dmidecode:
          Core Count: 24
          Core Enabled: 24
          Thread Count: 48

Orig kernel boot log:

 [    0.464981] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19
 [    0.469861] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
 [    0.477261] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
 [    0.484760] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
 [    0.492258] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3

1.  nr_cpus=8, should stop enumerating in package 0:

 [    0.533664] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
 [    0.539596] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

2.  max_cpus=8, should still enumerate all packages:

 [    0.526494] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
 [    0.532428] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
 [    0.538456] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
 [    0.544486] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3
 [    0.550524] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

3.  nr_cpus=49 ( 2 socket + 1 core on 3rd socket), should stop enumerating in
    package 2:

 [    0.521378] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
 [    0.527314] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
 [    0.533345] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
 [    0.539368] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

4.  maxcpus=49, should still enumerate all packages:

 [    0.525591] smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0
 [    0.531525] smpboot: APIC(40) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1
 [    0.537547] smpboot: APIC(80) Converting physical 2 to logical package 2
 [    0.543579] smpboot: APIC(c0) Converting physical 3 to logical package 3
 [    0.549624] smpboot: Max logical packages: 19

5.  kdump (nr_cpus=1) works as well.

Pull power management updates from Rafael  Wysocki:
 "Again, the majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem, but
  there are no big features this time.  The cpufreq changes that stand
  out somewhat are the governor interface rework and improvements
  related to the handling of frequency tables.  Apart from those, there
  are fixes and new device/CPU IDs in drivers, cleanups and an
  improvement of the new schedutil governor.

  Next, there are some changes in the hibernation core, including a fix
  for a nasty problem related to the MONITOR/MWAIT usage by CPU offline
  during resume from hibernation, a few core improvements related to
  memory management during resume, a couple of additional debug features
  and cleanups.

  Finally, we have some fixes and cleanups in the devfreq subsystem,
  generic power domains framework improvements related to system
  suspend/resume, support for some new chips in intel_idle and in the
  power capping RAPL driver, a new version of the AnalyzeSuspend utility
  and some assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the cpufreq governor interface to make it more
     straightforward and modify the conservative governor to avoid using
     transition notifications (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Rework the handling of frequency tables by the cpufreq core to make
     it more efficient (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the schedutil governor to reduce the number of wakeups it
     causes to occur in cases when the CPU frequency doesn't need to be
     changed (Steve Muckle, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix some minor issues and clean up code in the cpufreq core and
     governors (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Add Intel Broxton support to the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Fix problems related to the config TDP feature and to the validity
     of the MSR_HWP_INTERRUPT register in intel_pstate (Jan Kiszka,
     Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Make intel_pstate update the cpu_frequency tracepoint even if the
     frequency doesn't change to avoid confusing powertop (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Clean up the usage of __init/__initdata in intel_pstate, mark some
     of its internal variables as __read_mostly and drop an unused
     structure element from it (Jisheng Zhang, Carsten Emde).

   - Clean up the usage of some duplicate MSR symbols in intel_pstate
     and turbostat (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Update/fix the powernv, s3c24xx and mvebu cpufreq drivers (Akshay
     Adiga, Viresh Kumar, Ben Dooks).

   - Fix a regression (introduced during the 4.5 cycle) in the
     pcc-cpufreq driver by reverting the problematic commit (Andreas
     Herrmann).

   - Add support for Intel Denverton to intel_idle, clean up Broxton
     support in it and make it explicitly non-modular (Jacob Pan, Jan
     Beulich, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Add support for Denverton and Ivy Bridge server to the Intel RAPL
     power capping driver and make it more careful about the handing of
     MSRs that may not be present (Jacob Pan, Xiaolong Wang).

   - Fix resume from hibernation on x86-64 by making the CPU offline
     during resume avoid using MONITOR/MWAIT in the "play dead" loop
     which may lead to an inadvertent "revival" of a "dead" CPU and a
     page fault leading to a kernel crash from it (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make memory management during resume from hibernation more
     straightforward (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add debug features that should help to detect problems related to
     hibernation and resume from it (Rafael Wysocki, Chen Yu).

   - Clean up hibernation core somewhat (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Prevent KASAN from instrumenting the hibernation core which leads
     to large numbers of false-positives from it (James Morse).

   - Prevent PM (hibernate and suspend) notifiers from being called
     during the cleanup phase if they have not been called during the
     corresponding preparation phase which is possible if one of the
     other notifiers returns an error at that time (Lianwei Wang).

   - Improve suspend-related debug printout in the tasks freezer and
     clean up suspend-related console handling (Roger Lu, Borislav
     Petkov).

   - Update the AnalyzeSuspend script in the kernel sources to version
     4.2 (Todd Brandt).

   - Modify the generic power domains framework to make it handle system
     suspend/resume better (Ulf Hansson).

   - Make the runtime PM framework avoid resuming devices synchronously
     when user space changes the runtime PM settings for them and
     improve its error reporting (Rafael Wysocki, Linus Walleij).

   - Fix error paths in devfreq drivers (exynos, exynos-ppmu,
     exynos-bus) and in the core, make some devfreq code explicitly
     non-modular and change some of it into tristate (Bartlomiej
     Zolnierkiewicz, Peter Chen, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Add DT support to the generic PM clocks management code and make it
     export some more symbols (Jon Hunter, Paul Gortmaker).

   - Make the PCI PM core code slightly more robust against possible
     driver errors (Andy Shevchenko).

   - Make it possible to change DESTDIR and PREFIX in turbostat (Andy
     Shevchenko)"

<title>x86 / hibernate: Use hlt_play_dead() when resuming from hibernation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:406f992e4a372dafbe3c2cff7efbb2002a5c8ebd</id>

On Intel hardware, native_play_dead() uses mwait_play_dead() by
default and only falls back to the other methods if that fails.
That also happens during resume from hibernation, when the restore
(boot) kernel runs disable_nonboot_cpus() to take all of the CPUs
except for the boot one offline.

However, that is problematic, because the address passed to
__monitor() in mwait_play_dead() is likely to be written to in the
last phase of hibernate image restoration and that causes the "dead"
CPU to start executing instructions again.  Unfortunately, the page
containing the address in that CPU's instruction pointer may not be
valid any more at that point.

First, that page may have been overwritten with image kernel memory
contents already, so the instructions the CPU attempts to execute may
simply be invalid.  Second, the page tables previously used by that
CPU may have been overwritten by image kernel memory contents, so the
address in its instruction pointer is impossible to resolve then.

A report from Varun Koyyalagunta and investigation carried out by
Chen Yu show that the latter sometimes happens in practice.

To prevent it from happening, temporarily change the smp_ops.play_dead
pointer during resume from hibernation so that it points to a special
"play dead" routine which uses hlt_play_dead() and avoids the
inadvertent "revivals" of "dead" CPUs this way.

A slightly unpleasant consequence of this change is that if the
system is hibernated with one or more CPUs offline, it will generally
draw more power after resume than it did before hibernation, because
the physical state entered by CPUs via hlt_play_dead() is higher-power
than the mwait_play_dead() one in the majority of cases.  It is
possible to work around this, but it is unclear how much of a problem
that's going to be in practice, so the workaround will be implemented
later if it turns out to be necessary.

It's statically initialized to zero -- no need to dynamically
initialize it to zero as well.

<title>x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h</title>

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).
