x86/microcode: Update late microcode in parallel

2019-10-01T13:58:54+00:00

Microcode update was changed to be serialized due to restrictions after
Spectre days. Updating serially on a large multi-socket system can be
painful since it is being done on one CPU at a time.

Cloud customers have expressed discontent as services disappear for
a prolonged time. The restriction is that only one core (or only one
thread of a core in the case of an SMT system) goes through the update
while other cores (or respectively, SMT threads) are quiesced.

Do the microcode update only on the first thread of each core while
other siblings simply wait for this to complete.

x86/microcode: Fix the microcode load on CPU hotplug for real

2019-06-19T07:16:35+00:00

A recent change moved the microcode loader hotplug callback into the early
startup phase which is running with interrupts disabled. It missed that
the callbacks invoke sysfs functions which might sleep causing nice 'might
sleep' splats with proper debugging enabled.

Split the callbacks and only load the microcode in the early startup phase
and move the sysfs handling back into the later threaded and preemptible
bringup phase where it was before.

x86/microcode, cpuhotplug: Add a microcode loader CPU hotplug callback

2019-06-15T08:00:29+00:00

Adric Blake reported the following warning during suspend-resume:

  Enabling non-boot CPUs ...

The MSR in question is MSR_TFA_RTM_FORCE_ABORT and that MSR is emulated
by microcode. The log above shows that the microcode loader callback
happens after the PMU restoration, leading to the conjecture that
because the microcode hasn't been updated yet, that MSR is not present
yet, leading to the #GP.

Add a microcode loader-specific hotplug vector which comes before
the PERF vectors and thus executes earlier and makes sure the MSR is
present.

Merge tag 'stream_open-5.2' of https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/linux

2019-05-07T19:15:13+00:00

Pull stream_open conversion from Kirill Smelkov:

 - remove unnecessary double nonseekable_open from drivers/char/dtlk.c
   as noticed by Pavel Machek while reviewing nonseekable_open ->
   stream_open mass conversion.

 - the mass conversion patch promised in commit 10dce8af3422 ("fs:
   stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can
   run simultaneously without deadlock") and is automatically generated
   by running

        $ make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci

   I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to
   convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is
   either not correct to convert there, or that it is not converted due
   to current stream_open.cocci limitations. More details on this in the
   patch.

 - finally, change VFS to pass ppos=NULL into .read/.write for files
   that declare themselves streams. It was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes
   and makes sure that if ppos starts to be erroneously used in a stream
   file, such bug won't go unnoticed and will produce an oops instead of
   creating illusion of position change being taken into account.

   Note: this patch does not conflict with "fuse: Add FOPEN_STREAM to
   use stream_open()" that will be hopefully coming via FUSE tree,
   because fs/fuse/ uses new-style .read_iter/.write_iter, and for these
   accessors position is still passed as non-pointer kiocb.ki_pos .

* tag 'stream_open-5.2' of https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/linux:
  vfs: pass ppos=NULL to .read()/.write() of FMODE_STREAM files
  *: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_open
  dtlk: remove double call to nonseekable_open

*: convert stream-like files from nonseekable_open -> stream_open

2019-05-06T14:46:41+00:00

Using scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci added in 10dce8af3422
("fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write
can run simultaneously without deadlock"), search and convert to
stream_open all in-kernel nonseekable_open users for which read and
write actually do not depend on ppos and where there is no other methods
in file_operations which assume @offset access.

I've verified each generated change manually - that it is correct to convert -
and each other nonseekable_open instance left - that it is either not correct
to convert there, or that it is not converted due to current stream_open.cocci
limitations. The script also does not convert files that should be valid to
convert, but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek
for unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
drivers/input/mousedev.c)

Among cases converted 14 were potentially vulnerable to read vs write deadlock
(see details in 10dce8af3422):

One can also recheck/review the patch via generating it with explanation comments included via

	$ make coccicheck MODE=patch COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/api/stream_open.cocci SPFLAGS="-D explain"

(*) This second group also contains cases with read/write deadlocks that
stream_open.cocci don't yet detect, but which are still valid to convert to
stream_open since ppos is not used. For example drivers/pci/switch/switchtec.c
calls wait_for_completion_interruptible() in its .read, but stream_open.cocci
currently detects only "wait_event*" as blocking.

x86/microcode: Fix the ancient deprecated microcode loading method

2019-04-10T20:41:24+00:00

Commit

  2613f36ed965 ("x86/microcode: Attempt late loading only when new microcode is present")

added the new define UCODE_NEW to denote that an update should happen
only when newer microcode (than installed on the system) has been found.

But it missed adjusting that for the old /dev/cpu/microcode loading
interface. Fix it.

x86/microcode: Announce reload operation's completion

2019-03-21T11:24:39+00:00

By popular demand, issue a single line to dmesg after the reload
operation completes to let the user know that a reload has at least been
attempted.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed
pages to atomic", v5.

This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.

totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.

things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better

preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus.

This patch (of 4):

This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.  Please note that re-reading the
value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to
unexpected behavior.  There are no known bugs as a result of the current
code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.
