Commit

  6791e0ea3071 ("x86/resctrl: Access per-rmid structures by index")

adds logic to map individual monitoring groups into a global index space used
for tracking allocated RMIDs.

Attempts to free the default RMID are ignored in free_rmid(), and this works
fine on x86.

With arm64 MPAM, there is a latent bug here however: on platforms with no
monitors exposed through resctrl, each control group still gets a different
monitoring group ID as seen by the hardware, since the CLOSID always forms part
of the monitoring group ID.

This means that when removing a control group, the code may try to free this
group's default monitoring group RMID for real.  If there are no monitors
however, the RMID tracking table rmid_ptrs[] would be a waste of memory and is
never allocated, leading to a splat when free_rmid() tries to dereference the
table.

One option would be to treat RMID 0 as special for every CLOSID, but this would
be ugly since bookkeeping still needs to be done for these monitoring group IDs
when there are monitors present in the hardware.

Instead, add a gating check of resctrl_arch_mon_capable() in free_rmid(), and
just do nothing if the hardware doesn't have monitors.

This fix mirrors the gating checks already present in
mkdir_rdt_prepare_rmid_alloc() and elsewhere.

No functional change on x86.

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.

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.

2. You can also get this behavior if you use "-cpu 486,+clzero"
   in QEMU.

The new AMD/HYGON topology parser evaluates the SMT information in CPUID leaf
0x8000001e unconditionally while the original code restricted it to CPUs with
family 0x17 and greater.

This breaks family 0x15 CPUs which advertise that leaf and have a non-zero
value in the SMT section. The machine boots, but the scheduler complains loudly
about the mismatch of the core IDs:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/core.c:6482 sched_cpu_starting+0x183/0x250
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2408 build_sched_domains+0x76b/0x12b0

Add the condition back to cure it.

    trivial stuff. :-P ]

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2408 build_sched_domains+0x76b/0x12b0

Add the condition back to cure it.

Code in v6.9 arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c was changed by commit

  4db64279bc2b ("x86/cpu: Switch to new Intel CPU model defines") from:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(HASWELL_X, 0),       /* COD */
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(BROADWELL_X, 0),     /* COD */
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(ANY, 1),             /* SNC */	&lt;--- 443
          {}
  };

  static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
  {
          const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);

to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_HASWELL_X,   0),    /* COD */
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_BROADWELL_X, 0),    /* COD */
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_ANY,         1),    /* SNC */
           {}
   };

  static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
  {
          const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);

On an Intel CPU with SNC enabled this code previously matched the rule on line
443 to avoid printing messages about insane cache configuration.  The new code
did not match any rules.

Expanding the macros for the intel_cod_cpu[] array shows that the old is
equivalent to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
  [0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
  [3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
  }

while the new code expands to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
  [0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
  [3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
  }

Looking at the code for x86_match_cpu():

  const struct x86_cpu_id *x86_match_cpu(const struct x86_cpu_id *match)
  {
           const struct x86_cpu_id *m;
           struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &amp;boot_cpu_data;

           for (m = match;
                m-&gt;vendor | m-&gt;family | m-&gt;model | m-&gt;steppings | m-&gt;feature;
                m++) {
       		...
           }
           return NULL;

it is clear that there was no match because the ANY entry in the table (array
index 2) is now the loop termination condition (all of vendor, family, model,
steppings, and feature are zero).

So this code was working before because the "ANY" check was looking for any
Intel CPU in family 6. But fails now because the family is a wild card. So the
root cause is that x86_match_cpu() has never been able to match on a rule with
just X86_VENDOR_INTEL and all other fields set to wildcards.

Add a new flags field to struct x86_cpu_id that has a bit set to indicate that
this entry in the array is valid. Update X86_MATCH*() macros to set that bit.
Change the end-marker check in x86_match_cpu() to just check the flags field
for this bit.

Backporter notes: The commit in Fixes is really the one that is broken:
you can't have m-&gt;vendor as part of the loop termination conditional in
x86_match_cpu() because it can happen - as it has happened above
- that that whole conditional is 0 albeit vendor == 0 is a valid case
- X86_VENDOR_INTEL is 0.

However, the only case where the above happens is the SNC check added by
4db64279bc2b1 so you only need this fix if you have backported that
other commit

<title>x86/topology: Handle bogus ACPI tables correctly</title>

<content type='text'>
The ACPI specification clearly states how the processors should be
enumerated in the MADT:

 "To ensure that the boot processor is supported post initialization,
  two guidelines should be followed. The first is that OSPM should
  initialize processors in the order that they appear in the MADT. The
  second is that platform firmware should list the boot processor as the
  first processor entry in the MADT.
  ...
  Failure of OSPM implementations and platform firmware to abide by
  these guidelines can result in both unpredictable and non optimal
  platform operation."

The kernel relies on that ordering to detect the real BSP on crash kernels
which is important to avoid sending a INIT IPI to it as that would cause a
full machine reset.

On a Dell XPS 16 9640 the BIOS ignores this rule and enumerates the CPUs in
the wrong order. As a consequence the kernel falsely detects a crash kernel
and disables the corresponding CPU.

Prevent this by checking the IA32_APICBASE MSR for the BSP bit on the boot
CPU. If that bit is set, then the MADT based BSP detection can be safely
ignored. If the kernel detects a mismatch between the BSP bit and the first
enumerated MADT entry then emit a firmware bug message.

This obviously also has to be taken into account when the boot APIC ID and
the first enumerated APIC ID match. If the boot CPU does not have the BSP
bit set in the APICBASE MSR then there is no way for the boot CPU to
determine which of the CPUs is the real BSP. Sending an INIT to the real
BSP would reset the machine so the only sane way to deal with that is to
limit the number of CPUs to one and emit a corresponding warning message.
