The MBA software controller (mba_sc) is a feedback loop which
periodically reads MBM counters and tries to restrict the bandwidth
below a user-specified value. It tags along the MBM counter overflow
handler to do the updates with 1s interval in mbm_update() and
update_mba_bw().

The purpose of mbm_update() is to periodically read the MBM counters to
make sure that the hardware counter doesn't wrap around more than once
between user samplings. mbm_update() calls __mon_event_count() for local
bandwidth updating when mba_sc is not enabled, but calls mbm_bw_count()
instead when mba_sc is enabled. __mon_event_count() will not be called
for local bandwidth updating in MBM counter overflow handler, but it is
still called when reading MBM local bandwidth counter file
'mbm_local_bytes', the call path is as below:

  rdtgroup_mondata_show()
    mon_event_read()
      mon_event_count()
        __mon_event_count()

In __mon_event_count(), m-&gt;chunks is updated by delta chunks which is
calculated from previous MSR value (m-&gt;prev_msr) and current MSR value.
When mba_sc is enabled, m-&gt;chunks is also updated in mbm_update() by
mistake by the delta chunks which is calculated from m-&gt;prev_bw_msr
instead of m-&gt;prev_msr. But m-&gt;chunks is not used in update_mba_bw() in
the mba_sc feedback loop.

When reading MBM local bandwidth counter file, m-&gt;chunks was changed
unexpectedly by mbm_bw_count(). As a result, the incorrect local
bandwidth counter which calculated from incorrect m-&gt;chunks is shown to
the user.

Fix this by removing incorrect m-&gt;chunks updating in mbm_bw_count() in
MBM counter overflow handler, and always calling __mon_event_count() in
mbm_update() to make sure that the hardware local bandwidth counter
doesn't wrap around.

Test steps:
  # Run workload with aggressive memory bandwidth (e.g., 10 GB/s)
  git clone https://github.com/intel/intel-cmt-cat &amp;&amp; cd intel-cmt-cat
  &amp;&amp; make
  ./tools/membw/membw -c 0 -b 10000 --read

  # Enable MBA software controller
  mount -t resctrl resctrl -o mba_MBps /sys/fs/resctrl

  # Create control group c1
  mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

  # Set MB throttle to 6 GB/s
  echo "MB:0=6000;1=6000" &gt; /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/schemata

  # Write PID of the workload to tasks file
  echo `pidof membw` &gt; /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/tasks

  # Read local bytes counters twice with 1s interval, the calculated
  # local bandwidth is not as expected (approaching to 6 GB/s):
  local_1=`cat /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes`
  sleep 1
  local_2=`cat /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_data/mon_L3_00/mbm_local_bytes`
  echo "local b/w (bytes/s):" `expr $local_2 - $local_1`

Before fix:
  local b/w (bytes/s): 11076796416

After fix:
  local b/w (bytes/s): 5465014272

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix AMD L3 QOS CDP enable/disable</title>

<content type='text'>
When the AMD QoS feature CDP (code and data prioritization) is enabled
or disabled, the CDP bit in MSR 0000_0C81 is written on one of the CPUs
in an L3 domain (core complex). That is not correct - the CDP bit needs
to be updated on all the logical CPUs in the domain.

This was not spelled out clearly in the spec earlier. The specification
has been updated and the updated document, "AMD64 Technology Platform
Quality of Service Extensions Publication # 56375 Revision: 1.02 Issue
Date: October 2020" is available now. Refer the section: Code and Data
Prioritization.

Fix the issue by adding a new flag arch_has_per_cpu_cfg in rdt_cache
data structure.

<title>x86/mce: Do not overwrite no_way_out if mce_end() fails</title>

Currently, if mce_end() fails, no_way_out - the variable denoting
whether the machine can recover from this MCE - is determined by whether
the worst severity that was found across the MCA banks associated with
the current CPU, is of panic severity.

However, at this point no_way_out could have been already set by
mca_start() after looking at all severities of all CPUs that entered the
MCE handler. If mce_end() fails, check first if no_way_out is already
set and, if so, stick to it, otherwise use the local worst value.

<title>x86/speculation: Fix prctl() when spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb</title>

<content type='text'>
When spectre_v2_user={seccomp,prctl},ibpb is specified on the command
line, IBPB is force-enabled and STIPB is conditionally-enabled (or not
available).

However, since

  21998a351512 ("x86/speculation: Avoid force-disabling IBPB based on STIBP and enhanced IBRS.")

the spectre_v2_user_ibpb variable is set to SPECTRE_V2_USER_{PRCTL,SECCOMP}
instead of SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT, which is the actual behaviour.
Because the issuing of IBPB relies on the switch_mm_*_ibpb static
branches, the mitigations behave as expected.

Since

  1978b3a53a74 ("x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP")

this discrepency caused the misreporting of IB speculation via prctl().

On CPUs with STIBP always-on and spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb,
prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) would return PR_SPEC_PRCTL |
PR_SPEC_ENABLE instead of PR_SPEC_DISABLE since both IBPB and STIPB are
always on. It also allowed prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) to set the IB
speculation mode, even though the flag is ignored.

Similarly, for CPUs without SMT, prctl(PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL) should
also return PR_SPEC_DISABLE since IBPB is always on and STIBP is not
available.

<title>x86/resctrl: Add necessary kernfs_put() calls to prevent refcount leak</title>

<id>758999246965eeb8b253d47e72f7bfe508804b16</id>
<content type='text'>
On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

<title>x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak</title>

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem.

On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().

With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.

Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:

  (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
  "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
  created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
  But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
  called to take an additional reference.

  (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

<title>x86/microcode/intel: Check patch signature before saving microcode for early loading</title>

<id>1a371e67dc77125736cc56d3a0893f06b75855b6</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, scan_microcode() leverages microcode_matches() to check
if the microcode matches the CPU by comparing the family and model.
However, the processor stepping and flags of the microcode signature
should also be considered when saving a microcode patch for early
update.

Use find_matching_signature() in scan_microcode() and get rid of the
now-unused microcode_matches() which is a good cleanup in itself.

Complete the verification of the patch being saved for early loading in
save_microcode_patch() directly. This needs to be done there too because
save_mc_for_early() will call save_microcode_patch() too.

The second reason why this needs to be done is because the loader still
tries to support, at least hypothetically, mixed-steppings systems and
thus adds all patches to the cache that belong to the same CPU model
albeit with different steppings.

For example:

  microcode: CPU: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6
  microcode: mc_saved[0]: sig=0x906e9, pf=0x2a, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
  microcode: mc_saved[1]: sig=0x906ea, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
  microcode: mc_saved[2]: sig=0x906eb, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
  microcode: mc_saved[3]: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
  microcode: mc_saved[4]: sig=0x906ed, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23

The patch which is being saved for early loading, however, can only be
the one which fits the CPU this runs on so do the signature verification
before saving.

       and rewrite commit message. ]

<title>x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP</title>
<updated>2020-11-05T20:43:34+00:00</updated>

<id>1978b3a53a74e3230cd46932b149c6e62e832e9a</id>
<content type='text'>
On AMD CPUs which have the feature X86_FEATURE_AMD_STIBP_ALWAYS_ON,
STIBP is set to on and

  spectre_v2_user_stibp == SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT_PREFERRED

At the same time, IBPB can be set to conditional.

However, this leads to the case where it's impossible to turn on IBPB
for a process because in the PR_SPEC_DISABLE case in ib_prctl_set() the

  spectre_v2_user_stibp == SPECTRE_V2_USER_STRICT_PREFERRED

condition leads to a return before the task flag is set. Similarly,
ib_prctl_get() will return PR_SPEC_DISABLE even though IBPB is set to
conditional.

More generally, the following cases are possible:

1. STIBP = conditional &amp;&amp; IBPB = on for spectre_v2_user=seccomp,ibpb
2. STIBP = on &amp;&amp; IBPB = conditional for AMD CPUs with
   X86_FEATURE_AMD_STIBP_ALWAYS_ON

The first case functions correctly today, but only because
spectre_v2_user_ibpb isn't updated to reflect the IBPB mode.

At a high level, this change does one thing. If either STIBP or IBPB
is set to conditional, allow the prctl to change the task flag.
Also, reflect that capability when querying the state. This isn't
perfect since it doesn't take into account if only STIBP or IBPB is
unconditionally on. But it allows the conditional feature to work as
expected, without affecting the unconditional one.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.

Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
  notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
  that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
  notification.

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.
