Tetsuo reported the following lockdep splat when the TSC synchronization
fails during CPU hotplug:

   tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
  
   WARNING: inconsistent lock state
   inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -&gt; {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.
   ffffffff8cfa1c78 (watchdog_lock){?.-.}-{2:2}, at: clocksource_watchdog+0x23/0x5a0

     sysvec_call_function_single+0x69/0x90

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:
     lock(watchdog_lock);
     &lt;Interrupt&gt;
       lock(watchdog_lock);

    run_timer_softirq+0x2a/0x50
    sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6e/0x90

The reason is the recent conversion of the TSC synchronization function
during CPU hotplug on the control CPU to a SMP function call. In case
that the synchronization with the upcoming CPU fails, the TSC has to be
marked unstable via clocksource_mark_unstable().

clocksource_mark_unstable() acquires 'watchdog_lock', but that lock is
taken with interrupts enabled in the watchdog timer callback to minimize
interrupt disabled time. That's obviously a possible deadlock scenario,

Before that change the synchronization function was invoked in thread
context so this could not happen.

As it is not crucical whether the unstable marking happens slightly
delayed, defer the call to a worker thread which avoids the lock context
problem.

David and a few others reported that on certain newer systems some legacy
interrupts fail to work correctly.

Debugging revealed that the BIOS of these systems leaves the legacy PIC in
uninitialized state which makes the PIC detection fail and the kernel
switches to a dummy implementation.

Unfortunately this fallback causes quite some code to fail as it depends on
checks for the number of legacy PIC interrupts or the availability of the
real PIC.

In theory there is no reason to use the PIC on any modern system when
IO/APIC is available, but the dependencies on the related checks cannot be
resolved trivially and on short notice. This needs lots of analysis and
rework.

The PIC detection has been added to avoid quirky checks and force selection
of the dummy implementation all over the place, especially in VM guest
scenarios. So it's not an option to revert the relevant commit as that
would break a lot of other scenarios.

One solution would be to try to initialize the PIC on detection fail and
retry the detection, but that puts the burden on everything which does not
have a PIC.

Fortunately the ACPI/MADT table header has a flag field, which advertises
in bit 0 that the system is PCAT compatible, which means it has a legacy
8259 PIC.

Evaluate that bit and if set avoid the detection routine and keep the real
PIC installed, which then gets initialized (for nothing) and makes the rest
of the code with all the dependencies work again.

Check the memory operand of INS/OUTS before emulating the instruction.
The #VC exception can get raised from user-space, but the memory operand
can be manipulated to access kernel memory before the emulation actually
begins and after the exception handler has run.

<title>Revert "x86/smp: Put CPUs into INIT on shutdown if possible"</title>

<id>fbe1bf1e5ff1e3b298420d7a8434983ef8d72bd1</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 45e34c8af58f23db4474e2bfe79183efec09a18b, and the
two subsequent fixes to it:

  3f874c9b2aae ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to non-present and non-booted CPUs")
  b1472a60a584 ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to boot CPU")

because it seems to result in hung machines at shutdown.  Particularly
some Dell machines, but Thomas says

 "The rest seems to be Lenovo and Sony with Alderlake/Raptorlake CPUs -
  at least that's what I could figure out from the various bug reports.

  I don't know which CPUs the DELL machines have, so I can't say it's a
  pattern.

  I agree with the revert for now"

Ashok Raj chimes in:

 "There was a report (probably this same one), and it turns out it was a
  bug in the BIOS SMI handler.

  The client BIOS's were waiting for the lowest APICID to be the SMI
  rendevous master. If this is MeteorLake, the BSP wasn't the one with
  the lowest APIC and it triped here.

  The BIOS change is also being pushed to others for assimilation :)

  Server BIOS's had this correctly for a while now"

and it does look likely to be some bad interaction between SMI and the
non-BSP cores having put into INIT (and thus unresponsive until reset).

This reverts commit 45e34c8af58f23db4474e2bfe79183efec09a18b, and the
two subsequent fixes to it:

  3f874c9b2aae ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to non-present and non-booted CPUs")
  b1472a60a584 ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to boot CPU")

because it seems to result in hung machines at shutdown.  Particularly
some Dell machines, but Thomas says

 "The rest seems to be Lenovo and Sony with Alderlake/Raptorlake CPUs -
  at least that's what I could figure out from the various bug reports.

  I don't know which CPUs the DELL machines have, so I can't say it's a
  pattern.

  I agree with the revert for now"

Ashok Raj chimes in:

 "There was a report (probably this same one), and it turns out it was a
  bug in the BIOS SMI handler.

  The client BIOS's were waiting for the lowest APICID to be the SMI
  rendevous master. If this is MeteorLake, the BSP wasn't the one with
  the lowest APIC and it triped here.

  The BIOS change is also being pushed to others for assimilation :)

  Server BIOS's had this correctly for a while now"

and it does look likely to be some bad interaction between SMI and the
non-BSP cores having put into INIT (and thus unresponsive until reset).

<title>x86/alternatives: Disable KASAN in apply_alternatives()</title>

Fei has reported that KASAN triggers during apply_alternatives() on
a 5-level paging machine:

	BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in rcu_is_watching()
	Read of size 4 at addr ff110003ee6419a0 by task swapper/0/0
	...
	__asan_load4()
	rcu_is_watching()
	trace_hardirqs_on()
	text_poke_early()
	apply_alternatives()
	...

On machines with 5-level paging, cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57)
gets patched. It includes KASAN code, where KASAN_SHADOW_START depends on
__VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT, which is defined with cpu_feature_enabled().

KASAN gets confused when apply_alternatives() patches the
KASAN_SHADOW_START users. A test patch that makes KASAN_SHADOW_START
static, by replacing __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT with 56, works around the issue.

Fix it for real by disabling KASAN while the kernel is patching alternatives.

[ mingo: updated the changelog ]

<title>KVM: x86: Constrain guest-supported xfeatures only at KVM_GET_XSAVE{2}</title>

<content type='text'>
Mask off xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest only when saving guest
state via KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} instead of modifying user_xfeatures directly.
Preserving the maximal set of xfeatures in user_xfeatures restores KVM's
ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which prior to commit ad856280ddea ("x86/kvm/fpu:
Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0") allowed userspace
to load xfeatures that are supported by the host, irrespective of what
xfeatures are exposed to the guest.

There is no known use case where userspace *intentionally* loads xfeatures
that aren't exposed to the guest, but the bug fixed by commit ad856280ddea
was specifically that KVM_GET_SAVE{2} would save xfeatures that weren't
exposed to the guest, e.g. would lead to userspace unintentionally loading
guest-unsupported xfeatures when live migrating a VM.

Restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE to guest-supported xfeatures is especially
problematic for QEMU-based setups, as QEMU has a bug where instead of
terminating the VM if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails, QEMU instead simply stops
loading guest state, i.e. resumes the guest after live migration with
incomplete guest state, and ultimately results in guest data corruption.

Note, letting userspace restore all host-supported xfeatures does not fix
setups where a VM is migrated from a host *without* commit ad856280ddea,
to a target with a subset of host-supported xfeatures.  However there is
no way to safely address that scenario, e.g. KVM could silently drop the
unsupported features, but that would be a clear violation of KVM's ABI and
so would require userspace to opt-in, at which point userspace could
simply be updated to sanitize the to-be-loaded XSAVE state.
