<title>x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one</title>

The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
  [..]
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   __might_sleep
   mutex_lock_nested
   ? __lock_acquire
   nfit_handle_mce
   notifier_call_chain
   atomic_notifier_call_chain
   ? atomic_notifier_call_chain
   mce_gen_pool_process

Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
context.

Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.

<title>x86/intel_rdt: Fix locking in rdtgroup_schemata_write()</title>

<content type='text'>
The schemata lock is released before freeing the resource's temporary
tmp_cbms allocation. That's racy versus another write which allocates and
uses new temporary storage, resulting in memory leaks, freeing in use
memory, double a free or any combination of those.

Move the unlock after the release code.

<title>x86/mce/AMD: Give a name to MCA bank 3 when accessed with legacy MSRs</title>

<content type='text'>
MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA.

Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.

Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

  WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 1 at lib/kobject.c:210 kobject_add_internal

<title>x86/intel_rdt: Put group node in rdtgroup_kn_unlock</title>

<id>49ec8f5b6ae3ab60385492cad900ffc8a523c895</id>
<content type='text'>
The rdtgroup_kn_unlock waits for the last user to release and put its
node. But it's calling kernfs_put on the node which calls the
rdtgroup_kn_unlock, which might not be the group's directory node, but
another group's file node.

This race could be easily reproduced by running 2 instances
of following script:

  mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl/
  pushd /sys/fs/resctrl/
  mkdir krava
  echo "krava" &gt; krava/schemata
  rmdir krava
  popd
  umount  /sys/fs/resctrl

It triggers the slub debug error message with following command
line config: slub_debug=,kernfs_node_cache.

Call kernfs_put on the group's node to fix it.

<title>sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface</title>

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:

  acb04058de49 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")

... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.

The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.

Solve this by doing two things:

 - tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
   state for the normal (!paravirt) case.

 - only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
   when we use native_sched_clock().

The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:

  12907fbb1a69 ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")

... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.
