With the following commit:
73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
... the hotplug code attempted to detect when SMT was disabled by BIOS,
in which case it reported SMT as permanently disabled. However, that
code broke a virt hotplug scenario, where the guest is booted with only
primary CPU threads, and a sibling is brought online later.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably
distinguish between the HW "SMT disabled by BIOS" case and the virt
"sibling not yet brought online" case. So the above-mentioned commit
was a bit misguided, as it permanently disabled SMT for both cases,
preventing future virt sibling hotplugs.
Going back and reviewing the original problems which were attempted to
be solved by that commit, when SMT was disabled in BIOS:
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control showed "on" instead of
"notsupported"; and
2) vmx_vm_init() was incorrectly showing the L1TF_MSG_SMT warning.
I'd propose that we instead consider #1 above to not actually be a
problem. Because, at least in the virt case, it's possible that SMT
wasn't disabled by BIOS and a sibling thread could be brought online
later. So it makes sense to just always default the smt control to "on"
to allow for that possibility (assuming cpuid indicates that the CPU
supports SMT).
The real problem is #2, which has a simple fix: change vmx_vm_init() to
query the actual current SMT state -- i.e., whether any siblings are
currently online -- instead of looking at the SMT "control" sysfs value.
So fix it by:
a) reverting the original "fix" and its followup fix:
73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
bc2d8d262cba ("cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation")
and
b) changing vmx_vm_init() to query the actual current SMT state --
instead of the sysfs control value -- to determine whether the L1TF
warning is needed. This also requires the 'sched_smt_present'
variable to exported, instead of 'cpu_smt_control'.

With commit a74cfffb03b7 ("x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change"),
arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU hotplug function.
Therefore the extra arch_smt_update() call in the sysfs SMT control is
redundant.

Since we've had:

We've also had a similar warning in sched_init_smp() for every
asymmetric system that would enable the sched_asym_cpucapacity static
key, although that was singled out in:
commit 40fa3780bac2 ("sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()")
Those warnings are actually harmless, since we cannot have hotplug
operations at the time they appear. Instead of starting to sprinkle
useless hotplug lock operations in the init codepaths, mute the
warnings until they start warning about real problems.

arch_smt_update() is only called when the sysfs SMT control knob is
changed. This means that when SMT is enabled in the sysfs control knob the
system is considered to have SMT active even if all siblings are offline.
To allow finegrained control of the speculation mitigations, the actual SMT
state is more interesting than the fact that siblings could be enabled.
Rework the code, so arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU
hotplug function, and simplify the update function while at it.

STIBP is a feature provided by certain Intel ucodes / CPUs. This feature
(once enabled) prevents cross-hyperthread control of decisions made by
indirect branch predictors.
Enable this feature if
- the CPU is vulnerable to spectre v2
- the CPU supports SMT and has SMT siblings online
- spectre_v2 mitigation autoselection is enabled (default)
After some previous discussion, this leaves STIBP on all the time, as wrmsr
on crossing kernel boundary is a no-no. This could perhaps later be a bit
more optimized (like disabling it in NOHZ, experiment with disabling it in
idle, etc) if needed.
Note that the synchronization of the mask manipulation via newly added
spec_ctrl_mutex is currently not strictly needed, as the only updater is
already being serialized by cpu_add_remove_lock, but let's make this a
little bit more future-proof.

Anybody trying to assert the cpu_hotplug_lock is held (lockdep_assert_cpus_held())

When a teardown callback fails, the CPU hotplug code brings the CPU back to
the previous state. The previous state becomes the new target state. The
rollback happens in undo_cpu_down() which increments the state
unconditionally even if the state is already the same as the target.
As a consequence the next CPU hotplug operation will start at the wrong
state. This is easily to observe when __cpu_disable() fails.
Prevent the unconditional undo by checking the state vs. target before
incrementing state and fix up the consequently wrong conditional in the
unplug code which handles the failure of the final CPU take down on the
control CPU side.

particular step startup/teardown callbacks in the CPU up/down rollback

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which

This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19
merge window.
We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really
about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly
named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name).
This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after
the percpu data has been properly initialized. It even has a comment to
that effect.
Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly
initialized. On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and
arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific
'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init().
This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch
pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using
'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code:
- per_cpu_ptr(&cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())->state = CPUHP_ONLINE;
+ this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE);
which is obviously the right thing to do. Except because of the
ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64.
So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to
be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu
hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already
been done earlier.
Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this
problem is marked for stable.

Josh reported that the late SMT evaluation in cpu_smt_state_init() sets
cpu_smt_control to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in case that 'nosmt' was supplied
on the kernel command line as it cannot differentiate between SMT disabled
by BIOS and SMT soft disable via 'nosmt'. That wreckages the state and
makes the sysfs interface unusable.
Rework this so that during bringup of the non boot CPUs the availability of
SMT is determined in cpu_smt_allowed(). If a newly booted CPU is not a
'primary' thread then set the local cpu_smt_available marker and evaluate
this explicitely right after the initial SMP bringup has finished.
SMT evaulation on x86 is a trainwreck as the firmware has all the
information _before_ booting the kernel, but there is no interface to query
it.

If SMT is disabled in BIOS, the CPU code doesn't properly detect it.
The /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control file shows 'on', and the 'l1tf'
vulnerabilities file shows SMT as vulnerable.
Fix it by forcing 'cpu_smt_control' to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in such a
case. Unfortunately the detection can only be done after bringing all
the CPUs online, so we have to overwrite any previous writes to the
variable.

The CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED state is set (if the processor does not support
SMT) when the sysfs SMT control file is initialized.
That was fine so far as this was only required to make the output of the
control file correct and to prevent writes in that case.
With the upcoming l1tf command line parameter, this needs to be set up
before the L1TF mitigation selection and command line parsing happens.

If the L1TF CPU bug is present we allow the KVM module to be loaded as the
major of users that use Linux and KVM have trusted guests and do not want a
broken setup.
Cloud vendors are the ones that are uncomfortable with CVE 2018-3620 and as
such they are the ones that should set nosmt to one.
Setting 'nosmt' means that the system administrator also needs to disable
SMT (Hyper-threading) in the BIOS, or via the 'nosmt' command line
parameter, or via the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control. See commit
05736e4ac13c ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT").
Other mitigations are to use task affinity, cpu sets, interrupt binding,
etc - anything to make sure that _only_ the same guests vCPUs are running

Due to the way Machine Check Exceptions work on X86 hyperthreads it's
required to boot up _all_ logical cores at least once in order to set the
CR4.MCE bit.
So instead of ignoring the sibling threads right away, let them boot up
once so they can configure themselves. After they came out of the initial
boot stage check whether its a "secondary" sibling and cancel the operation
which puts the CPU back into offline state.

Provide a command line and a sysfs knob to control SMT.
The command line options are:
'nosmt': Enumerate secondary threads, but do not online them
'nosmt=force': Ignore secondary threads completely during enumeration
via MP table and ACPI/MADT.
The sysfs control file has the following states (read/write):
'on': SMT is enabled. Secondary threads can be freely onlined
'off': SMT is disabled. Secondary threads, even if enumerated
cannot be onlined
'forceoff': SMT is permanentely disabled. Writes to the control
file are rejected.
'notsupported': SMT is not supported by the CPU
The command line option 'nosmt' sets the sysfs control to 'off'. This
can be changed to 'on' to reenable SMT during runtime.
The command line option 'nosmt=force' sets the sysfs control to
'forceoff'. This cannot be changed during runtime.
When SMT is 'on' and the control file is changed to 'off' then all online
secondary threads are offlined and attempts to online a secondary thread
later on are rejected.
When SMT is 'off' and the control file is changed to 'on' then secondary
threads can be onlined again. The 'off' -> 'on' transition does not
automatically online the secondary threads.
When the control file is set to 'forceoff', the behaviour is the same as
setting it to 'off', but the operation is irreversible and later writes to
the control file are rejected.
When the control status is 'notsupported' then writes to the control file
are rejected.

The timer wheel bases are not (re)initialized on CPU hotplug. That leaves
them with a potentially stale clk and next_expiry valuem, which can cause
trouble then the CPU is plugged.
Add a prepare callback which forwards the clock, sets next_expiry to far in
the future and reset the control flags to a known state.
Set base->must_forward_clk so the first timer which is queued will try to
forward the clock to current jiffies.

The recent rework of the cpu hotplug internals changed the usage of the per
cpu state->node field, but missed to clean it up after usage.
So subsequent hotplug operations use the stale pointer from a previous
operation and hand it into the callback functions. The callbacks then
dereference a pointer which either belongs to a different facility or
points to freed and potentially reused memory. In either case data
corruption and crashes are the obvious consequence.
Reset the node and the last pointers in the per cpu state to NULL after the
operation which set them has completed.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.

do
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 0 > /debug/tracing/trace
echo Fail state: $state
echo $state > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/hotplug/fail
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
cat /debug/tracing/trace > hotfail-${state}.trace
sleep 1
done

cpu-down chains. Such deadlocks cannot possibly happen because cpu-up
and cpu-down are globally serialized.
takedown_cpu()
irq_lock_sparse()
wait_for_completion(&st->done)
cpuhp_thread_fun
cpuhp_up_callback
cpuhp_invoke_callback
irq_affinity_online_cpu
irq_local_spare()
irq_unlock_sparse()
complete(&st->done)
Now that we have consistent AP state, we can trivially separate the
AP completion between up and down using st->bringup.

While the generic callback functions have an 'int' return and thus
appear to be allowed to return error, this is not true for all states.
Specifically, what used to be STARTING/DYING are ran with IRQs
disabled from critical parts of CPU bringup/teardown and are not
allowed to fail. Add WARNs to enforce this rule.
But since some callbacks are indeed allowed to fail, we have the
situation where a state-machine rollback encounters a failure, in this
case we're stuck, we can't go forward and we can't go back. Also add a
WARN for that case.
AFAICT this is a fundamental 'problem' with no real obvious solution.
We want the 'prepare' callbacks to allow failure on either up or down.
Typically on prepare-up this would be things like -ENOMEM from
resource allocations, and the typical usage in prepare-down would be
something like -EBUSY to avoid CPUs being taken away.

There is currently no explicit state change on rollback. That is,
st->bringup, st->rollback and st->target are not consistent when doing
the rollback.
Rework the AP state handling to be more coherent. This does mean we
have to do a second AP kick-and-wait for rollback, but since rollback
is the slow path of a slowpath, this really should not matter.
Take this opportunity to simplify the AP thread function to only run a
single callback per invocation. This unifies the three single/up/down
modes is supports. The looping it used to do for up/down are achieved
by retaining should_run and relying on the main smpboot_thread_fn()
loop.
(I have most of a patch that does the same for the BP state handling,
but that's not critical and gets a little complicated because
CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU does the AP handoff from a callback, which gets
recursive @st usage, I still have de-fugly that.)

avoid gcc complaining about unused functions. Make the HOTPLUG_CPU
one piece instead of having two consecutive ifdef sections of the
same type. ]

Currently the rollback of multi-instance states is handled inside
cpuhp_invoke_callback(). The problem is that when we want to allow an
explicit state change for rollback, we need to return from the
function without doing the rollback.
Change cpuhp_invoke_callback() to optionally return the multi-instance
state, such that rollback can be done from a subsequent call.

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.
