<title>x86/topology/intel: Unlock CPUID before evaluating anything</title>

<content type='text'>
Intel CPUs have a MSR bit to limit CPUID enumeration to leaf two. If
this bit is set by the BIOS then CPUID evaluation including topology
enumeration does not work correctly as the evaluation code does not try
to analyze any leaf greater than two.

This went unnoticed before because the original topology code just
repeated evaluation several times and managed to overwrite the initial
limited information with the correct one later. The new evaluation code
does it once and therefore ends up with the limited and wrong
information.

Cure this by unlocking CPUID right before evaluating anything which
depends on the maximum CPUID leaf being greater than two instead of
rereading stuff after unlock.

<title>x86/cpu: Provide default cache line size if not enumerated</title>

<id>2a38e4ca302280fdcce370ba2bee79bac16c4587</id>
<content type='text'>
tl;dr: CPUs with CPUID.80000008H but without CPUID.01H:EDX[CLFSH]
will end up reporting cache_line_size()==0 and bad things happen.
Fill in a default on those to avoid the problem.

Long Story:

The kernel dies a horrible death if c-&gt;x86_cache_alignment (aka.
cache_line_size() is 0.  Normally, this value is populated from
c-&gt;x86_clflush_size.

Right now the code is set up to get c-&gt;x86_clflush_size from two
places.  First, modern CPUs get it from CPUID.  Old CPUs that don't
have leaf 0x80000008 (or CPUID at all) just get some sane defaults
from the kernel in get_cpu_address_sizes().

The vast majority of CPUs that have leaf 0x80000008 also get
-&gt;x86_clflush_size from CPUID.  But there are oddballs.

Intel Quark CPUs[1] and others[2] have leaf 0x80000008 but don't set
CPUID.01H:EDX[CLFSH], so they skip over filling in -&gt;x86_clflush_size:

	cpuid(0x00000001, &amp;tfms, &amp;misc, &amp;junk, &amp;cap0);
	if (cap0 &amp; (1&lt;&lt;19))
		c-&gt;x86_clflush_size = ((misc &gt;&gt; 8) &amp; 0xff) * 8;

So they: land in get_cpu_address_sizes() and see that CPUID has level
0x80000008 and jump into the side of the if() that does not fill in
c-&gt;x86_clflush_size.  That assigns a 0 to c-&gt;x86_cache_alignment, and
hilarity ensues in code like:

        buffer = kzalloc(ALIGN(sizeof(*buffer), cache_line_size()),
                         GFP_KERNEL);

To fix this, always provide a sane value for -&gt;x86_clflush_size.

Big thanks to Andy Shevchenko for finding and reporting this and also
providing a first pass at a fix. But his fix was only partial and only
worked on the Quark CPUs.  It would not, for instance, have worked on
the QEMU config.

1. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/InstLatx64/InstLatx64/master/GenuineIntel/GenuineIntel0000590_Clanton_03_CPUID.txt
2. You can also get this behavior if you use "-cpu 486,+clzero"
   in QEMU.

Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal.

  Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject
  interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d
  interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the
  interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the
  interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case
  that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification
  interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked
  pending in the bitmap.

  This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple
  devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In
  the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and
  therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit.

  Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by
  coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted
  interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes
  the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the
  corresponding device specific handlers.

  Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput
  improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured.

  As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device
  queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where
  interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in
  via a kernel command line parameter"

To support posted MSIs, create a posted interrupt descriptor (PID) for each
host CPU. Later on, when setting up interrupt affinity, the IOMMU's
interrupt remapping table entry (IRTE) will point to the physical address
of the matching CPU's PID.

Each PID is initialized with the owner CPU's physical APICID as the
destination.

<title>x86/bugs: Rename various 'ia32_cap' variables to 'x86_arch_cap_msr'</title>

So we are using the 'ia32_cap' value in a number of places,
which got its name from MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR register.

But there's very little 'IA32' about it - this isn't 32-bit only
code, nor does it originate from there, it's just a historic
quirk that many Intel MSR names are prefixed with IA32_.

This is already clear from the helper method around the MSR:
x86_read_arch_cap_msr(), which doesn't have the IA32 prefix.

So rename 'ia32_cap' to 'x86_arch_cap_msr' to be consistent with
its role and with the naming of the helper function.

Mitigation for BHI is selected based on the bug enumeration. Add bits
needed to enumerate BHI bug.

<title>x86/cpu: Ensure that CPU info updates are propagated on UP</title>

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:

  1) During early boot

  2) When finalizing the early setup right before
     mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.

In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.

Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.

This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which
had absolutely no purpose.
