KVM: x86: Ignore MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG access

2023-11-28T16:45:44Z

commit 2770d4722036d6bd24bcb78e9cd7f6e572077d03 upstream. Hyper-V enabled Windows Server 2022 KVM VM cannot be started on Zen1 Ryzen since it crashes at boot with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED + STATUS_PRIVILEGED_INSTRUCTION (in other words, because of an unexpected #GP in the guest kernel). This is because Windows tries to set bit 8 in MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG and can't handle receiving a #GP when doing so. Give this MSR the same treatment that commit 2e32b7190641 ("x86, kvm: Add MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 to the list of ignored MSRs") gave MSR_AMD64_BU_CFG2 under justification that this MSR is baremetal-relevant only. Although apparently it was then needed for Linux guests, not Windows as in this case. With this change, the aforementioned guest setup is able to finish booting successfully. This issue can be reproduced either on a Summit Ridge Ryzen (with just "-cpu host") or on a Naples EPYC (with "-cpu host,stepping=1" since EPYC is ordinarily stepping 2). Alternatively, userspace could solve the problem by using MSR filters, but forcing every userspace to define a filter isn't very friendly and doesn't add much, if any, value. The only potential hiccup is if one of these "baremetal-only" MSRs ever requires actual emulation and/or has F/M/S specific behavior. But if that happens, then KVM can still punt *that* handling to userspace since userspace MSR filters "win" over KVM's default handling. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

x86/mm: Drop the 4 MB restriction on minimal NUMA node memory size

2023-11-28T16:45:42Z

[ Upstream commit a1e2b8b36820d8c91275f207e77e91645b7c6836 ] Qi Zheng reported crashes in a production environment and provided a simplified example as a reproducer: | For example, if we use Qemu to start a two NUMA node kernel, | one of the nodes has 2M memory (less than NODE_MIN_SIZE), | and the other node has 2G, then we will encounter the | following panic: | | BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 | <...> | RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x22/0x40 | <...> | Call Trace: | | deactivate_slab() | bootstrap() | kmem_cache_init() | start_kernel() | secondary_startup_64_no_verify() The crashes happen because of inconsistency between the nodemask that has nodes with less than 4MB as memoryless, and the actual memory fed into the core mm. The commit: 9391a3f9c7f1 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Clear more state when ignoring empty node in SRAT parsing") ... that introduced minimal size of a NUMA node does not explain why a node size cannot be less than 4MB and what boot failures this restriction might fix. Fixes have been submitted to the core MM code to tighten up the memory topologies it accepts and to not crash on weird input: mm: page_alloc: skip memoryless nodes entirely mm: memory_hotplug: drop memoryless node from fallback lists Andrew has accepted them into the -mm tree, but there are no stable SHA1's yet. This patch drops the limitation for minimal node size on x86: - which works around the crash without the fixes to the core MM. - makes x86 topologies less weird, - removes an arbitrary and undocumented limitation on NUMA topologies.

x86: Fix .brk attribute in linker script

2023-11-08T10:21:08Z

commit 7e09ac27f43b382f5fe9bb7c7f4c465ece1f8a23 upstream. Commit in Fixes added the "NOLOAD" attribute to the .brk section as a "failsafe" measure. Unfortunately, this leads to the linker no longer covering the .brk section in a program header, resulting in the kernel loader not knowing that the memory for the .brk section must be reserved. This has led to crashes when loading the kernel as PV dom0 under Xen, but other scenarios could be hit by the same problem (e.g. in case an uncompressed kernel is used and the initrd is placed directly behind it). So drop the "NOLOAD" attribute. This has been verified to correctly cover the .brk section by a program header of the resulting ELF file.

x86/mm: Fix RESERVE_BRK() for older binutils

2023-11-08T10:21:07Z

commit e32683c6f7d22ba624e0bfc58b02cf3348bdca63 upstream. With binutils 2.26, RESERVE_BRK() causes a build failure: /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')' /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')' /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')' /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `U' The problem is this line: RESERVE_BRK(early_pgt_alloc, INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE) Specifically, the INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE macro which (via PAGE_SIZE's use _AC()) has a "1UL", which makes older versions of the assembler unhappy. Unfortunately the _AC() macro doesn't work for inline asm. Inline asm was only needed here to convince the toolchain to add the STT_NOBITS flag. However, if a C variable is placed in a section whose name is prefixed with ".bss", GCC and Clang automatically set STT_NOBITS. In fact, ".bss..page_aligned" already relies on this trick. So fix the build failure (and simplify the macro) by allocating the variable in C. Also, add NOLOAD to the ".brk" output section clause in the linker script. This is a failsafe in case the ".bss" prefix magic trick ever stops working somehow. If there's a section type mismatch, the GNU linker will force the ".brk" output section to be STT_NOBITS. The LLVM linker will fail with a "section type mismatch" error. Note this also changes the name of the variable from .brk.##name to __brk_##name. The variable names aren't actually used anywhere, so it's harmless.

x86/mm: Simplify RESERVE_BRK()

2023-11-08T10:21:07Z

commit a1e2c031ec3949b8c039b739c0b5bf9c30007b00 upstream. RESERVE_BRK() reserves data in the .brk_reservation section. The data is initialized to zero, like BSS, so the macro specifies 'nobits' to prevent the data from taking up space in the vmlinux binary. The only way to get the compiler to do that (without putting the variable in .bss proper) is to use inline asm. The macro also has a hack which encloses the inline asm in a discarded function, which allows the size to be passed (global inline asm doesn't allow inputs). Remove the need for the discarded function hack by just stringifying the size rather than supplying it as an input to the inline asm.

x86/i8259: Skip probing when ACPI/MADT advertises PCAT compatibility

2023-11-08T10:21:07Z

commit 128b0c9781c9f2651bea163cb85e52a6c7be0f9e upstream. David and a few others reported that on certain newer systems some legacy interrupts fail to work correctly. Debugging revealed that the BIOS of these systems leaves the legacy PIC in uninitialized state which makes the PIC detection fail and the kernel switches to a dummy implementation. Unfortunately this fallback causes quite some code to fail as it depends on checks for the number of legacy PIC interrupts or the availability of the real PIC. In theory there is no reason to use the PIC on any modern system when IO/APIC is available, but the dependencies on the related checks cannot be resolved trivially and on short notice. This needs lots of analysis and rework. The PIC detection has been added to avoid quirky checks and force selection of the dummy implementation all over the place, especially in VM guest scenarios. So it's not an option to revert the relevant commit as that would break a lot of other scenarios. One solution would be to try to initialize the PIC on detection fail and retry the detection, but that puts the burden on everything which does not have a PIC. Fortunately the ACPI/MADT table header has a flag field, which advertises in bit 0 that the system is PCAT compatible, which means it has a legacy 8259 PIC. Evaluate that bit and if set avoid the detection routine and keep the real PIC installed, which then gets initialized (for nothing) and makes the rest of the code with all the dependencies work again.

KVM: x86: Mask LVTPC when handling a PMI

2023-10-25T09:13:31Z

commit a16eb25b09c02a54c1c1b449d4b6cfa2cf3f013a upstream. Per the SDM, "When the local APIC handles a performance-monitoring counters interrupt, it automatically sets the mask flag in the LVT performance counter register." Add this behavior to KVM's local APIC emulation. Failure to mask the LVTPC entry results in spurious PMIs, e.g. when running Linux as a guest, PMI handlers that do a "late_ack" spew a large number of "dazed and confused" spurious NMI warnings.
