cpu/SMT: State SMT is disabled even with nosmt and without "=force"

2019-11-25T08:53:32Z

[ Upstream commit d0e7d14455d41163126afecd0fcce935463cc512 ] When booting with "nosmt=force" a message is issued into dmesg to confirm that SMT has been force-disabled but such a message is not issued when only "nosmt" is on the kernel command line. Fix that.

cpu/speculation: Uninline and export CPU mitigations helpers

2019-11-16T09:29:54Z

commit 731dc9df975a5da21237a18c3384f811a7a41cc6 upstream. A kernel module may need to check the value of the "mitigations=" kernel command line parameter as part of its setup when the module needs to perform software mitigations for a CPU flaw. Uninline and export the helper functions surrounding the cpu_mitigations enum to allow for their usage from a module. Lastly, privatize the enum and cpu_mitigations variable since the value of cpu_mitigations can be checked with the exported helper functions.

cpu/speculation: Warn on unsupported mitigations= parameter

2019-07-10T07:55:39Z

commit 1bf72720281770162c87990697eae1ba2f1d917a upstream. Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the kernel command line, it will be ignored silently. The code will fall back to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than expected. This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release, because not all mitigation strategies have been backported. Inform the user by printing a message.

x86/power: Fix 'nosmt' vs hibernation triple fault during resume

2019-06-11T10:22:48Z

commit ec527c318036a65a083ef68d8ba95789d2212246 upstream. As explained in 0cc3cd21657b ("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that is being resumed, which in turn means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address which is no longer valid.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.

cpu/speculation: Add 'mitigations=' cmdline option

2019-05-14T17:19:41Z

commit 98af8452945c55652de68536afdde3b520fec429 upstream. 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.

x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change

2019-05-14T17:19:36Z

commit a74cfffb03b73d41e08f84c2e5c87dec0ce3db9f upstream. 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.

x86/speculation: Enable cross-hyperthread spectre v2 STIBP mitigation

2019-05-14T17:19:34Z

commit 53c613fe6349994f023245519265999eed75957f upstream. 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.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent crash when CPU bringup fails on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n

2019-04-03T04:24:19Z

commit 206b92353c839c0b27a0b9bec24195f93fd6cf7a upstream. 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.
