<content type='text'>
commit 3fcc8e146935415d69ffabb5df40ecf50e106131 upstream.

VIRQs come in 3 flavors, per-VPU, per-domain, and global, and the VIRQs
are tracked in per-cpu virq_to_irq arrays.

Per-domain and global VIRQs must be bound on CPU 0, and
bind_virq_to_irq() sets the per_cpu virq_to_irq at registration time
Later, the interrupt can migrate, and info-&gt;cpu is updated.  When
calling __unbind_from_irq(), the per-cpu virq_to_irq is cleared for a
different cpu.  If bind_virq_to_irq() is called again with CPU 0, the
stale irq is returned.  There won't be any irq_info for the irq, so
things break.

Make xen_rebind_evtchn_to_cpu() update the per_cpu virq_to_irq mappings
to keep them update to date with the current cpu.  This ensures the
correct virq_to_irq is cleared in __unbind_from_irq().

<id>urn:sha1:f81db055a793eca9d05f79658ff62adafb41d664</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 07ce121d93a5e5fb2440a24da3dbf408fcee978e upstream.

Change find_virq() to return -EEXIST when a VIRQ is bound to a
different CPU than the one passed in.  With that, remove the BUG_ON()
from bind_virq_to_irq() to propogate the error upwards.

Some VIRQs are per-cpu, but others are per-domain or global.  Those must
be bound to CPU0 and can then migrate elsewhere.  The lookup for
per-domain and global will probably fail when migrated off CPU 0,
especially when the current CPU is tracked.  This now returns -EEXIST
instead of BUG_ON().

A second call to bind a per-domain or global VIRQ is not expected, but
make it non-fatal to avoid trying to look up the irq, since we don't
know which per_cpu(virq_to_irq) it will be in.

commit 08df2d7dd4ab2db8a172d824cda7872d5eca460a upstream.

rc is overwritten by the evtchn_status hypercall in each iteration, so
the return value will be whatever the last iteration is.  This could
incorrectly return success even if the event channel was not found.
Change to an explicit -ENOENT for an un-found virq and return 0 on a
successful match.

<title>x86/apic: Convert to IRQCHIP_MOVE_DEFERRED</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7d04319a05ab17ca3da188d0799af93d3213cb06</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of marking individual interrupts as safe to be migrated in
arbitrary contexts, mark the interrupt chips, which require the interrupt
to be moved in actual interrupt context, with the new IRQCHIP_MOVE_DEFERRED
flag. This makes more sense because this is a per interrupt chip property
and not restricted to individual interrupts.

That flips the logic from the historical opt-out to a opt-in model. This is
simpler to handle for other architectures, which default to unrestricted
affinity setting. It also allows to cleanup the redundant core logic
significantly.

All interrupt chips, which belong to a top-level domain sitting directly on
top of the x86 vector domain are marked accordingly, unless the related
setup code marks the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT, i.e. XEN.

No functional change intended.

In bind_evtchn_to_irq_chip() don't increment the refcnt of the event
channel blindly. In case the event channel is NOT refcounted, issue a
warning instead.

Add an additional safety net by doing the refcnt increment only if the
caller has specified IRQF_SHARED in the irqflags parameter.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

  FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
  of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

   1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
      in nested exception scenarios.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
      exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
      each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
      of #NMI code to handle this.

   3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
      which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
      to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

   4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
      is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
      stack trace.

   5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

   6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
      on large systems.

   7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

  FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

   1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
      exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
      for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
      complexity of preserving it in software.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
      exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

   3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
      BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
      per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

   4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
      return from NMI.

   5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

   6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
      because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
      and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
      syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
      entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
      the vector space restriction.

      The first hardware implementations will still have the current
      restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
      further changes to the local APIC.

   7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
      allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
      required local APIC changes are in place.

  The series implements the initial FRED support by:

   - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
     accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

   - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
     requires to store context and meta information

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
     information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

   - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
     demultiplex the events

   - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
     tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

  The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
  implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
  like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
  impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
  extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
  therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

  It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
  simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

<title>xen/events: close evtchn after mapping cleanup</title>

shutdown_pirq and startup_pirq are not taking the
irq_mapping_update_lock because they can't due to lock inversion. Both
are called with the irq_desc-&gt;lock being taking. The lock order,
however, is first irq_mapping_update_lock and then irq_desc-&gt;lock.

This opens multiple races:
- shutdown_pirq can be interrupted by a function that allocates an event
  channel:

  CPU0                        CPU1
  shutdown_pirq {
    xen_evtchn_close(e)
                              __startup_pirq {
                                EVTCHNOP_bind_pirq
                                  -&gt; returns just freed evtchn e
                                set_evtchn_to_irq(e, irq)
                              }
    xen_irq_info_cleanup() {
      set_evtchn_to_irq(e, -1)
    }
  }

  Assume here event channel e refers here to the same event channel
  number.
  After this race the evtchn_to_irq mapping for e is invalid (-1).

- __startup_pirq races with __unbind_from_irq in a similar way. Because
  __startup_pirq doesn't take irq_mapping_update_lock it can grab the
  evtchn that __unbind_from_irq is currently freeing and cleaning up. In
  this case even though the event channel is allocated, its mapping can
  be unset in evtchn_to_irq.

The fix is to first cleanup the mappings and then close the event
channel. In this way, when an event channel gets allocated it's
potential previous evtchn_to_irq mappings are guaranteed to be unset already.
This is also the reverse order of the allocation where first the event
channel is allocated and then the mappings are setup.

On a 5.10 kernel prior to commit 3fcdaf3d7634 ("xen/events: modify internal
[un]bind interfaces"), we hit a BUG like the following during probing of NVMe
devices. The issue is that during nvme_setup_io_queues, pci_free_irq
is called for every device which results in a call to shutdown_pirq.
With many nvme devices it's therefore likely to hit this race during
boot because there will be multiple calls to shutdown_pirq and
startup_pirq are running potentially in parallel.
