[ Upstream commit 29055dc74287467bd7a053d60b4afe753832960d ]

When running virtualized, MTRR access can be reduced (e.g. in Xen PV
guests or when running as a SEV-SNP guest under Hyper-V). Typically, the
hypervisor will not advertize the MTRR feature in CPUID data, resulting
in no MTRR memory type information being available for the kernel.

This has turned out to result in problems (Link tags below):

- Hyper-V SEV-SNP guests using uncached mappings where they shouldn't
- Xen PV dom0 mapping memory as WB which should be UC- instead

Solve those problems by allowing an MTRR static state override,
overwriting the empty state used today. In case such a state has been
set, don't call get_mtrr_state() in mtrr_bp_init().

The set state will only be used by mtrr_type_lookup(), as in all other
cases mtrr_enabled() is being checked, which will return false. Accept
the overwrite call only for selected cases when running as a guest.
Disable X86_FEATURE_MTRR in order to avoid any MTRR modifications by
just refusing them.

[ Upstream commit f6b980646b93a8c585b4ed991b8a34e8fc6ef847 ]

The physical address width calculation in mtrr_bp_init() can easily be
replaced with using the already available value x86_phys_bits from
struct cpuinfo_x86.

The same information source can be used in mtrr/cleanup.c, removing the
need to pass that value on to mtrr_cleanup().

In print_mtrr_state() use x86_phys_bits instead of recalculating it
from size_or_mask.

Move setting of size_or_mask and size_and_mask into a dedicated new
function in mtrr/generic.c, enabling to make those 2 variables static,
as they are used in generic.c only now.

When writing a task id to the "tasks" file in an rdtgroup,
rdtgroup_tasks_write() treats the pid as a number in the current pid
namespace. But when reading the "tasks" file, rdtgroup_tasks_show() shows
the list of global pids from the init namespace, which is confusing and

<title>x86/smp: Cure kexec() vs. mwait_play_dead() breakage</title>

commit d7893093a7417527c0d73c9832244e65c9d0114f upstream.

TLDR: It's a mess.

When kexec() is executed on a system with offline CPUs, which are parked in
mwait_play_dead() it can end up in a triple fault during the bootup of the
kexec kernel or cause hard to diagnose data corruption.

The reason is that kexec() eventually overwrites the previous kernel's text,
page tables, data and stack. If it writes to the cache line which is
monitored by a previously offlined CPU, MWAIT resumes execution and ends
up executing the wrong text, dereferencing overwritten page tables or
corrupting the kexec kernels data.

Cure this by bringing the offlined CPUs out of MWAIT into HLT.

Write to the monitored cache line of each offline CPU, which makes MWAIT
resume execution. The written control word tells the offlined CPUs to issue
HLT, which does not have the MWAIT problem.

That does not help, if a stray NMI, MCE or SMI hits the offlined CPUs as
those make it come out of HLT.

A follow up change will put them into INIT, which protects at least against
NMI and SMI.

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.

<title>x86/smp: Remove pointless wmb()s from native_stop_other_cpus()</title>

commit 2affa6d6db28855e6340b060b809c23477aa546e upstream.

The wmb()s before sending the IPIs are not synchronizing anything.

If at all then the apic IPI functions have to provide or act as appropriate
barriers.

Remove these cargo cult barriers which have no explanation of what they are
synchronizing.

<title>x86/smp: Dont access non-existing CPUID leaf</title>

commit 9b040453d4440659f33dc6f0aa26af418ebfe70b upstream.

stop_this_cpu() tests CPUID leaf 0x8000001f::EAX unconditionally. Intel
CPUs return the content of the highest supported leaf when a non-existing
leaf is read, while AMD CPUs return all zeros for unsupported leafs.

So the result of the test on Intel CPUs is lottery.

While harmless it's incorrect and causes the conditional wbinvd() to be
issued where not required.

Check whether the leaf is supported before reading it.

[ tglx: Adjusted changelog ]
