As explained in
0cc3cd2165 ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")
we always, no matter what, have to bring up x86 HT siblings during boot at
least once in order to avoid first MCE bringing the system to its knees.
That means that whenever 'nosmt' is supplied on the kernel command-line,
all the HT siblings are as a result sitting in mwait or cpudile after
going through the online-offline cycle at least once.
This causes a serious issue though when a kernel, which saw 'nosmt' on its
commandline, is going to perform resume from hibernation: if the resume
from the hibernated image is successful, cr3 is flipped in order to point
to the address space of the kernel that is being resumed, which in turn
means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address
which is no longer valid.
That results in triple fault shortly after cr3 is switched, and machine
reboots.
Fix this by always waking up all the SMT siblings before initiating the
'restore from hibernation' process; this guarantees that all the HT
siblings will be properly carried over to the resumed kernel waiting in
resume_play_dead(), and acted upon accordingly afterwards, based on the
target kernel configuration.
Symmetricaly, the resumed kernel has to push the SMT siblings to mwait
again in case it has SMT disabled; this means it has to online all
the siblings when resuming (so that they come out of hlt) and offline
them again to let them reach mwait.

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users. It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.
Most users fall into a few basic categories:
a) they want all mitigations off;
b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
it's vulnerable; or
c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
vulnerable.
Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:
- mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.
- mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but
leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.
- mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling
SMT if needed by a mitigation.
Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do
anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

Tianyu reported a crash in a CPU hotplug teardown callback when booting a
kernel which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled with the 'nosmt' boot
parameter.
It turns out that the SMP=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n case has been broken
forever in case that a bringup callback fails. Unfortunately this issue was
not recognized when the CPU hotplug code was reworked, so the shortcoming
just stayed in place.
When a bringup callback fails, the CPU hotplug code rolls back the
operation and takes the CPU offline.
The 'nosmt' command line argument uses a bringup failure to abort the
bringup of SMT sibling CPUs. This partial bringup is required due to the
MCE misdesign on Intel CPUs.
With CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y the rollback works perfectly fine, but
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n lacks essential mechanisms to exercise the low level
teardown of a CPU including the synchronizations in various facilities like
RCU, NOHZ and others.
As a consequence the teardown callbacks which must be executed on the
outgoing CPU within stop machine with interrupts disabled are executed on
the control CPU in interrupt enabled and preemptible context causing the
kernel to crash and burn. The pre state machine code has a different
failure mode which is more subtle and resulting in a less obvious use after
free crash because the control side frees resources which are still in use
by the undead CPU.
But this is not a x86 only problem. Any architecture which supports the
SMP=y HOTPLUG_CPU=n combination suffers from the same issue. It's just less
likely to be triggered because in 99.99999% of the cases all bringup
callbacks succeed.
The easy solution of making HOTPLUG_CPU mandatory for SMP is not working on
all architectures as the following architectures have either no hotplug
support at all or not all subarchitectures support it:
alpha, arc, hexagon, openrisc, riscv, sparc (32bit), mips (partial).
Crashing the kernel in such a situation is not an acceptable state
either.
Implement a minimal rollback variant by limiting the teardown to the point
where all regular teardown callbacks have been invoked and leave the CPU in
the 'dead' idle state. This has the following consequences:
- the CPU is brought down to the point where the stop_machine takedown
would happen.
- the CPU stays there forever and is idle
- The CPU is cleared in the CPU active mask, but not in the CPU online
mask which is a legit state.
- Interrupts are not forced away from the CPU
- All facilities which only look at online mask would still see it, but
that is the case during normal hotplug/unplug operations as well. It's
just a (way) longer time frame.
This will expose issues, which haven't been exposed before or only seldom,
because now the normally transient state of being non active but online is
a permanent state. In testing this exposed already an issue vs. work queues
where the vmstat code schedules work on the almost dead CPU which ends up
in an unbound workqueue and triggers 'preemtible context' warnings. This is
not a problem of this change, it merily exposes an already existing issue.
Still this is better than crashing fully without a chance to debug it.
This is mainly thought as workaround for those architectures which do not
support HOTPLUG_CPU. All others should enforce HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP.

Valentin reported that unplugging a CPU occasionally results in a warning
in the tick broadcast code which is triggered when an offline CPU is in the
broadcast mask.
This happens because the outgoing CPU is not removing itself from the
broadcast masks, especially not from the broadcast_force_mask. The removal
happens on the control CPU after the outgoing CPU is dead. It's a long
standing issue, but the warning is harmless.
Rework the hotplug mechanism so that the outgoing CPU removes itself from
the broadcast masks after disabling interrupts and removing itself from the
online mask.

With the following commit:
73d5e2b472 ("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:
73d5e2b472 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS")
bc2d8d262c ("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'.

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.

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.

When notifiers were there, `skip_onerr` was used to avoid calling
particular step startup/teardown callbacks in the CPU up/down rollback
path, which made the hotplug asymmetric.
As notifiers are gone now after the full state machine conversion, the
`skip_onerr` field is no longer required.
Remove it from the structure and its usage.

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
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

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

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
05736e4ac1 ("cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT").

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.

CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the
NOHZ code:
- Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can
cause unlocked access and data corruption
- Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle
side effects including rollovers on 32bit
- Prevent an interrupt storm when the timer softirq is already
pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
- Move the timer start tracepoint to a place where it actually makes
sense
- Add documentation to timerqueue functions as they caused confusion
several times now"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
timerqueue: Document return values of timerqueue_add/del()
timers: Invoke timer_start_debug() where it makes sense
nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplug
timers: Use deferrable base independent of base::nohz_active
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.

Pull CPU hotplug fix from Ingo Molnar:
"A single fix moving the smp-call queue flush step to the intended
point in the state machine"
* 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
smp/hotplug: Move step CPUHP_AP_SMPCFD_DYING to the correct place
CPUHP_AP_SCHED_MIGRATE_DYING doesn't exist, it looks like this was
supposed to refer to CPUHP_AP_SCHED_STARTING's teardown callback,
i.e. sched_cpu_dying().

Commit 31487f8328 ("smp/cfd: Convert core to hotplug state machine")
accidently put this step on the wrong place. The step should be at the
cpuhp_ap_states[] rather than the cpuhp_bp_states[].
grep smpcfd /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states
40: smpcfd:prepare
129: smpcfd:dying
"smpcfd:dying" was missing before.
So was the invocation of the function smpcfd_dying_cpu().
