Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites
using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle
change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific -
without re patching.
That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running
with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while
for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths.
As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended
up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they
would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the
kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the
baremetal one.
On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the
alternative code kicks in.
The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function
be done before the alternative code starts patching.
Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit
f10cd522c5.
("xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM") wherein it mentioned
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically.
The first problem is solved by this patch.
The second problem has been solved by commit
816434ec4a
(Merge branch 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)
P.S.
There is still the commit 70dd4998cb
(xen/spinlock: Disable IRQ spinlock (PV) allocation on PVHVM) to
revert but that can be done later after all other bugs have been
fixed.

The xen_lock_spinning has a check for the kicker interrupts
and if it is not initialized it will spin normally (not enter
the slowpath).
But for PVHVM case we would initialize the kicker interrupt
before the CPU came online. This meant that if the booting
CPU used a spinlock and went in the slowpath - it would
enter the slowpath and block forever. The forever part because
during bootup: the spinlock would be taken _before_ the CPU
sets itself to be online (more on this further), and we enter
to poll on the event channel forever.
The bootup CPU (see commit fc78d343fa
"xen/smp: initialize IPI vectors before marking CPU online"
for details) and the CPU that started the bootup consult
the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the booting CPU should
get an IPI. The booting CPU has to set itself in this mask via:
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
However, if the spinlock is taken before this (and it is) and
it polls on an event channel - it will never be woken up as
the kernel will never send an IPI to an offline CPU.
Note that the PVHVM logic in sending IPIs is using the HVM
path which has numerous checks using the cpu_online_mask
and cpu_active_mask. See above mention git commit for details.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54.
The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.
In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See

GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref unmaps a grant and replaces it with a 0
mapping instead of reinstating the original mapping.
Doing so separately would be racy.
To unmap a grant and reinstate the original mapping atomically we use
GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace.
GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace doesn't work with GNTMAP_contains_pte, so
don't use it for kmaps. GNTTABOP_unmap_and_replace zeroes the mapping
passed in new_addr so we have to reinstate it, however that is a
per-cpu mapping only used for balloon scratch pages, so we can be sure that
it's not going to be accessed while the mapping is not valid.

An older PVHVM guest (v3.0 based) crashed during vCPU hot-plug with:
kernel BUG at drivers/xen/events.c:1328!
RCU has detected that a CPU has not entered a quiescent state within the
grace period. It needs to send the CPU a reschedule IPI if it is not
offline. rcu_implicit_offline_qs() does this check:
/*
* If the CPU is offline, it is in a quiescent state. We can
* trust its state not to change because interrupts are disabled.
*/
if (cpu_is_offline(rdp->cpu)) {
rdp->offline_fqs++;
return 1;
}
Else the CPU is online. Send it a reschedule IPI.
The CPU is in the middle of being hot-plugged and has been marked online
(!cpu_is_offline()). See start_secondary():
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
...
per_cpu(cpu_state, smp_processor_id()) = CPU_ONLINE;
start_secondary() then waits for the CPU bringing up the hot-plugged CPU to
mark it as active:
/*
* Wait until the cpu which brought this one up marked it
* online before enabling interrupts. If we don't do that then
* we can end up waking up the softirq thread before this cpu
* reached the active state, which makes the scheduler unhappy
* and schedule the softirq thread on the wrong cpu. This is
* only observable with forced threaded interrupts, but in
* theory it could also happen w/o them. It's just way harder
* to achieve.
*/
while (!cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), cpu_active_mask))
cpu_relax();
/* enable local interrupts */
local_irq_enable();
The CPU being hot-plugged will be marked active after it has been fully
initialized by the CPU managing the hot-plug. In the Xen PVHVM case
xen_smp_intr_init() is called to set up the hot-plugged vCPU's
XEN_RESCHEDULE_VECTOR.
The hot-plugging CPU is marked online, not marked active and does not have
its IPI vectors set up. rcu_implicit_offline_qs() sees the hot-plugging
cpu is !cpu_is_offline() and tries to send it a reschedule IPI:
This will lead to:
kernel BUG at drivers/xen/events.c:1328!
xen_send_IPI_one()
xen_smp_send_reschedule()
rcu_implicit_offline_qs()
rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs()
force_qs_rnp()
force_quiescent_state()
__rcu_process_callbacks()
rcu_process_callbacks()
__do_softirq()
call_softirq()
do_softirq()
irq_exit()
xen_evtchn_do_upcall()
because xen_send_IPI_one() will attempt to use an uninitialized IRQ for
the XEN_RESCHEDULE_VECTOR.
There is at least one other place that has caused the same crash:
xen_smp_send_reschedule()
wake_up_idle_cpu()
add_timer_on()
clocksource_watchdog()
call_timer_fn()
run_timer_softirq()
__do_softirq()
call_softirq()
do_softirq()
irq_exit()
xen_evtchn_do_upcall()
xen_hvm_callback_vector()
clocksource_watchdog() uses cpu_online_mask to pick the next CPU to handle
a watchdog timer:
/*
* Cycle through CPUs to check if the CPUs stay synchronized
* to each other.
*/
next_cpu = cpumask_next(raw_smp_processor_id(), cpu_online_mask);
if (next_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids)
next_cpu = cpumask_first(cpu_online_mask);
watchdog_timer.expires += WATCHDOG_INTERVAL;
add_timer_on(&watchdog_timer, next_cpu);
This resulted in an attempt to send an IPI to a hot-plugging CPU that
had not initialized its reschedule vector. One option would be to make
the RCU code check to not check for CPU offline but for CPU active.
As becoming active is done after a CPU is online (in older kernels).
But Srivatsa pointed out that "the cpu_active vs cpu_online ordering has been
completely reworked - in the online path, cpu_active is set *before* cpu_online,
and also, in the cpu offline path, the cpu_active bit is reset in the CPU_DYING
notification instead of CPU_DOWN_PREPARE." Drilling in this the bring-up
path: "[brought up CPU].. send out a CPU_STARTING notification, and in response
to that, the scheduler sets the CPU in the cpu_active_mask. Again, this mask
is better left to the scheduler alone, since it has the intelligence to use it
judiciously."
The conclusion was that:
"
1. At the IPI sender side:
It is incorrect to send an IPI to an offline CPU (cpu not present in
the cpu_online_mask). There are numerous places where we check this
and warn/complain.
2. At the IPI receiver side:
It is incorrect to let the world know of our presence (by setting
ourselves in global bitmasks) until our initialization steps are complete
to such an extent that we can handle the consequences (such as
receiving interrupts without crashing the sender etc.)
" (from Srivatsa)
As the native code enables the interrupts at some point we need to be
able to service them. In other words a CPU must have valid IPI vectors
if it has been marked online.
It doesn't need to handle the IPI (interrupts may be disabled) but needs
to have valid IPI vectors because another CPU may find it in cpu_online_mask
and attempt to send it an IPI.
This patch will change the order of the Xen vCPU bring-up functions so that
Xen vectors have been set up before start_secondary() is called.
It also will not continue to bring up a Xen vCPU if xen_smp_intr_init() fails
to initialize it.

If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled then xen_enable_irq() (and
xen_restore_fl()) could be preempted and rescheduled on a different
VCPU in between the clear of the mask and the check for pending
events. This may result in events being lost as the upcall will check
for pending events on the wrong VCPU.

If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will
attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel
will crash.
There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0
kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and
treat it as RAM.
We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up.

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.
To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.
One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

perf/x86: Add Haswell ULT model number used in Macbook Air and other systems
perf/x86: Fix intel QPI uncore event definitions
This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule();
can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).
However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.
The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.
We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.
While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.
Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info

If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early()
will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But
->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in
no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot.
Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only
caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the
set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses
that struct.
So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum()
and the broken fallback can be dropped.

OpenFirmware wasn't quite following the protocol described in boot.txt
and the kernel has detected this through use of the sentinel value
in boot_params. OFW does zero out almost all of the stuff that it should
do, but not the sentinel.
This causes the kernel to clear olpc_ofw_header, which breaks x86 OLPC
support.
OpenFirmware has now been fixed. However, it would be nice if we could
maintain Linux compatibility with old firmware versions. To do that, we just
have to avoid zeroing out olpc_ofw_header.
OFW does not write to any other parts of the header that are being zapped
by the sentinel-detection code, and all users of olpc_ofw_header are
somewhat protected through checking for the OLPC_OFW_SIG magic value
before using it. So this should not cause any problems for anyone.

This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which
was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the
logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface
in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME -
pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN -
pv_cpu_ops.iret).
That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use
the hypervisor iret.
The other changes that would be neccessary for this would
be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the
ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different
events.
Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903
(xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback
on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right
vector value for NMI.
With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested
x86_64).
For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain)
we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are
already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that
to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking
of X86_FEATURE_APIC.
Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within
a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround.
Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch
does not enable that.

If interrupts were enabled when taking the spinlock, we can leave them
enabled while blocking to get the lock.
If we can enable interrupts while waiting for the lock to become
available, and we take an interrupt before entering the poll,
and the handler takes a spinlock which ends up going into
the slow state (invalidating the per-cpu "lock" and "want" values),
then when the interrupt handler returns the event channel will
remain pending so the poll will return immediately, causing it to
return out to the main spinlock loop.

Maintain a flag in the LSB of the ticket lock tail which indicates
whether anyone is in the lock slowpath and may need kicking when
the current holder unlocks. The flags are set when the first locker
enters the slowpath, and cleared when unlocking to an empty queue (ie,
no contention).
In the specific implementation of lock_spinning(), make sure to set
the slowpath flags on the lock just before blocking. We must do
this before the last-chance pickup test to prevent a deadlock
with the unlocker:
Unlocker Locker
test for lock pickup
-> fail
unlock
test slowpath
-> false
set slowpath flags
block
Whereas this works in any ordering:
Unlocker Locker
set slowpath flags
test for lock pickup
-> fail
block
unlock
test slowpath
-> true, kick
If the unlocker finds that the lock has the slowpath flag set but it is
actually uncontended (ie, head == tail, so nobody is waiting), then it
clears the slowpath flag.
The unlock code uses a locked add to update the head counter. This also
acts as a full memory barrier so that its safe to subsequently
read back the slowflag state, knowing that the updated lock is visible
to the other CPUs. If it were an unlocked add, then the flag read may
just be forwarded from the store buffer before it was visible to the other
CPUs, which could result in a deadlock.
Unfortunately this means we need to do a locked instruction when
unlocking with PV ticketlocks. However, if PV ticketlocks are not
enabled, then the old non-locked "add" is the only unlocking code.
Note: this code relies on gcc making sure that unlikely() code is out of
line of the fastpath, which only happens when OPTIMIZE_SIZE=n. If it
doesn't the generated code isn't too bad, but its definitely suboptimal.
Thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for providing a bugfix to the original
version of this change, which has been folded in.
Thanks to Stephan Diestelhorst for commenting on some code which relied
on an inaccurate reading of the x86 memory ordering rules.

Increment ticket head/tails by 2 rather than 1 to leave the LSB free
to store a "is in slowpath state" bit. This halves the number
of possible CPUs for a given ticket size, but this shouldn't matter

specially built for the hardware rather than a generic distro

Although the lock_spinning calls in the spinlock code are on the
uncommon path, their presence can cause the compiler to generate many
more register save/restores in the function pre/postamble, which is in
the fast path. To avoid this, convert it to using the pvops callee-save
calling convention, which defers all the save/restores until the actual
function is called, keeping the fastpath clean.

Replace the old Xen implementation of PV spinlocks with and implementation
of xen_lock_spinning and xen_unlock_kick.
xen_lock_spinning simply registers the cpu in its entry in lock_waiting,
adds itself to the waiting_cpus set, and blocks on an event channel
until the channel becomes pending.
xen_unlock_kick searches the cpus in waiting_cpus looking for the one
which next wants this lock with the next ticket, if any. If found,
it kicks it by making its event channel pending, which wakes it up.
We need to make sure interrupts are disabled while we're relying on the
contents of the per-cpu lock_waiting values, otherwise an interrupt
handler could come in, try to take some other lock, block, and overwrite
our values.

Rather than outright replacing the entire spinlock implementation in
order to paravirtualize it, keep the ticket lock implementation but add
a couple of pvops hooks on the slow patch (long spin on lock, unlocking
a contended lock).
Ticket locks have a number of nice properties, but they also have some
surprising behaviours in virtual environments. They enforce a strict
FIFO ordering on cpus trying to take a lock; however, if the hypervisor
scheduler does not schedule the cpus in the correct order, the system can
waste a huge amount of time spinning until the next cpu can take the lock.
(See Thomas Friebel's talk "Prevent Guests from Spinning Around"
http://www.xen.org/files/xensummitboston08/LHP.pdf for more details.)
To address this, we add two hooks:
- __ticket_spin_lock which is called after the cpu has been
spinning on the lock for a significant number of iterations but has
failed to take the lock (presumably because the cpu holding the lock
has been descheduled). The lock_spinning pvop is expected to block
the cpu until it has been kicked by the current lock holder.
- __ticket_spin_unlock, which on releasing a contended lock
(there are more cpus with tail tickets), it looks to see if the next
cpu is blocked and wakes it if so.
When compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled, a set of stub
functions causes all the extra code to go away.

John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI
uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero
values unless the bit is properly set.
More details from him:
According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance
Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events
(including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require
that the "extra bit" be set.
This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says
that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register.
Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must
be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the
correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually
agrees with me:
[root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event
config:0-7,21
So the command
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/"
Is the same as
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/"
While it should be
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/"
I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the
amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI
link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.

Return -1 (like Intels apply_microcode) when the loading fails, also
do not set the active microcode level on failure.
