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.

<title>x86/irq: Prevent force migration of irqs which are not in the vector domain</title>

commit db91aa793ff984ac048e199ea1c54202543952fe upstream.

When a CPU is about to be offlined we call fixup_irqs() that resets IRQ
affinities related to the CPU in question. The same thing is also done when
the system is suspended to S-states like S3 (mem).

For each IRQ we try to complete any on-going move regardless whether the
IRQ is actually part of x86_vector_domain. For each IRQ descriptor we fetch
its chip_data, assume it is of type struct apic_chip_data and manipulate it
by clearing old_domain mask etc. For irq_chips that are not part of the
x86_vector_domain, like those created by various GPIO drivers, will find
their chip_data being changed unexpectly.

Below is an example where GPIO chip owned by pinctrl-sunrisepoint.c gets
corrupted after resume:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
  gpiochip0: GPIOs 360-511, parent: platform/INT344B:00, INT344B:00:
   gpio-511 (                    |sysfs               ) in  hi

  # rtcwake -s10 -mmem
  &lt;10 seconds passes&gt;

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
  gpiochip0: GPIOs 360-511, parent: platform/INT344B:00, INT344B:00:
   gpio-511 (                    |sysfs               ) in  ?

Note '?' in the output. It means the struct gpio_chip -&gt;get function is
NULL whereas before suspend it was there.

Fix this by first checking that the IRQ belongs to x86_vector_domain before
we try to use the chip_data as struct apic_chip_data.

commit 2e63ad4bd5dd583871e6602f9d398b9322d358d9 upstream.

native_smp_prepare_cpus
  -&gt; default_setup_apic_routing

      -&gt; irq_remapping_prepare
        -&gt; intel_prepare_irq_remapping
          -&gt; intel_setup_irq_remapping

So IR table is setup even if "noapic" boot parameter is added. As a result we
crash later when the interrupt affinity is set due to a half initialized
remapping infrastructure.

Prevent remap initialization when IOAPIC is disabled.

<title>x86/ioapic: Fix incorrect pointers in ioapic_setup_resources()</title>

<id>9d98bcec731756b8688b59ec998707924d716d7b</id>
<content type='text'>
On a 4-socket Brickland system, hot-removing one ioapic is fine.
Hot-removing the 2nd one causes panic in mp_unregister_ioapic()
while calling release_resource().

It is because the iomem_res pointer has already been released
when removing the first ioapic.

To explain the use of &amp;res[num] here: res is assigned to ioapic_resources,
and later in ioapic_insert_resources() we do:

	struct resource *r = ioapic_resources;

        for_each_ioapic(i) {
                insert_resource(&amp;iomem_resource, r);
                r++;
        }

Here 'r' is treated as an arry of 'struct resource', and the r++ ensures
that each element of the array is inserted separately. Thus we should call
release_resouce() on each element at &amp;res[num].

Fix it by assigning the correct pointers to ioapics[i].iomem_res in
ioapic_setup_resources().

<title>printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI</title>

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.

The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").

The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).

Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.

This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.

The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.

__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.

We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.

The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.

The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
handling there first.  Let's do it separately.

The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

<title>x86/platform/UV: Bring back the call to map_low_mmrs in uv_system_init</title>

<id>08914f436bdd2ed60923f49cbc402307aba20fe4</id>
<content type='text'>
A while back the following commit:

  d394f2d9d8e1 ("x86/platform/UV: Remove EFI memmap quirk for UV2+")

changed uv_system_init() to only call map_low_mmrs() on older UV1 hardware,
which requires EFI_OLD_MEMMAP to be set in order to boot.

The recent changes to the EFI memory mapping code in:

  d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi: Runtime services virtual mapping")

exposed some issues with the fact that we were relying on the EFI memory
mapping mechanisms to map in our MMRs for us, after commit d394f2d9d8e1.

Rather than revert the entire commit and go back to forcing
EFI_OLD_MEMMAP on all UVs, we're going to add the call to map_low_mmrs()
back into uv_system_init(), and then fix up our EFI runtime calls to use
the appropriate page table.

For now, UV2+ will still need efi=old_map to boot, but there will be
other changes soon that should eliminate the need for this.

<title>x86/platform/UV: Fix incorrect nodes and pnodes for cpuless and memoryless nodes</title>

<id>f68376fc9e6dc15a08e16f08c95e503f19ad8e34</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the problem of incorrect nodes and pnodes being returned
when referring to nodes that either have no cpus (AKA "headless") or no
memory.
