hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier

2023-11-11T17:06:42Z

2b8272ff4a70 ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent self deadlock on CPU hot-unplug") solved the straight forward CPU hotplug deadlock vs. the scheduler bandwidth timer. Yu discovered a more involved variant where a task which has a bandwidth timer started on the outgoing CPU holds a lock and then gets throttled. If the lock required by one of the CPU hotplug callbacks the hotplug operation deadlocks because the unthrottling timer event is not handled on the dying CPU and can only be recovered once the control CPU reaches the hotplug state which pulls the pending hrtimers from the dead CPU. Solve this by pushing the hrtimers away from the dying CPU in the dying callbacks. Nothing can queue a hrtimer on the dying CPU at that point because all other CPUs spin in stop_machine() with interrupts disabled and once the operation is finished the CPU is marked offline.

Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Limit the hardcoded topology quirk for Hygon CPUs to those which have a model ID less than 4. The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB correctly implemented and are not affected. - Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors. It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By chance a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes the hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask is never evaluated. The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core to deny the bringup of the APS. Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be booted or not. - Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV. That is consistent with because all of the topology information on XEN/PV is fake or even non-existent. - Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86 Move the randomly scattered topology data into a separate data structure for readability and as a preparatory step for the topology evaluation overhaul. - Consolidate APIC ID data type to u32 It's fixed width hardware data and not randomly u16, int, unsigned long or whatever developers decided to use. - Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical IDs. Per CPU cpuinfo is used to persist the logical package and die IDs. That's really not the right place simply because cpuinfo is subject to be reinitialized when a CPU goes through an offline/online cycle. Use separate per CPU data for the persisting to enable the further topology management rework. It will be removed once the new topology management is in place. - Provide a debug interface for inspecting topology information Useful in general and extremly helpful for validating the topology management rework in terms of correctness or "bug" compatibility. * tag 'x86-core-2023-10-29-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) x86/apic, x86/hyperv: Use u32 in hv_snp_boot_ap() too x86/cpu: Provide debug interface x86/cpu/topology: Cure the abuse of cpuinfo for persisting logical ids x86/apic: Use u32 for wakeup_secondary_cpu[_64]() x86/apic: Use u32 for [gs]et_apic_id() x86/apic: Use u32 for phys_pkg_id() x86/apic: Use u32 for cpu_present_to_apicid() x86/apic: Use u32 for check_apicid_used() x86/apic: Use u32 for APIC IDs in global data x86/apic: Use BAD_APICID consistently x86/cpu: Move cpu_l[l2]c_id into topology info x86/cpu: Move logical package and die IDs into topology info x86/cpu: Remove pointless evaluation of x86_coreid_bits x86/cpu: Move cu_id into topology info x86/cpu: Move cpu_core_id into topology info hwmon: (fam15h_power) Use topology_core_id() scsi: lpfc: Use topology_core_id() x86/cpu: Move cpu_die_id into topology info x86/cpu: Move phys_proc_id into topology info x86/cpu: Encapsulate topology information in cpuinfo_x86 ...

cpu/hotplug: Don't offline the last non-isolated CPU

2023-10-17T19:41:33Z

If a system has isolated CPUs via the "isolcpus=" command line parameter, then an attempt to offline the last housekeeping CPU will result in a WARN_ON() when rebuilding the scheduler domains and a subsequent panic due to and unhandled empty CPU mas in partition_sched_domains_locked(). cpuset_hotplug_workfn() rebuild_sched_domains_locked() ndoms = generate_sched_domains(&doms, &attr); cpumask_and(doms[0], top_cpuset.effective_cpus, housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN)); Thus results in an empty CPU mask which triggers the warning and then the subsequent crash: WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 80 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2366 build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408 Call trace: build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408 partition_sched_domains_locked+0x234/0x880 rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x37c/0x798 rebuild_sched_domains+0x30/0x58 cpuset_hotplug_workfn+0x2a8/0x930 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffe80027ab37080 partition_sched_domains_locked+0x318/0x880 rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x37c/0x798 Aside of the resulting crash, it does not make any sense to offline the last last housekeeping CPU. Prevent this by masking out the non-housekeeping CPUs when selecting a target CPU for initiating the CPU unplug operation via the work queue.

cpu/SMT: Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures

2023-10-10T12:38:17Z

The SMT control mechanism got added as speculation attack vector mitigation. The implemented logic relies on the primary thread mask to be set up properly. This turns out to be an issue with XEN/PV guests because their CPU hotplug mechanics do not enumerate APICs and therefore the mask is never correctly populated. This went unnoticed so far because by chance XEN/PV ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2. So smt_hotplug_control stays at its default value CPU_SMT_ENABLED and the primary thread mask is never evaluated in the context of CPU hotplug. This stopped "working" with the upcoming overhaul of the topology evaluation which legitimately provides a fake topology for XEN/PV. That sets smp_num_siblings to 1, which causes the core CPU hot-plug core to refuse to bring up the APs. This happens because smt_hotplug_control is set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED which causes cpu_smt_allowed() to evaluate the unpopulated primary thread mask with the conclusion that all non-boot CPUs are not valid to be plugged. Make cpu_smt_allowed() more robust and take CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED and CPU_SMT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED into account. Rename it to cpu_bootable() while at it as that makes it more clear what the function is about. The primary mask issue on x86 XEN/PV needs to be addressed separately as there are users outside of the CPU hotplug code too.

rcu: Comment why callbacks migration can't wait for CPUHP_RCUTREE_PREP

2023-10-04T20:38:35Z

The callbacks migration is performed through an explicit call from the hotplug control CPU right after the death of the target CPU and before proceeding with the CPUHP_ teardown functions. This is unusual but necessary and yet uncommented.

rcu: Standardize explicit CPU-hotplug calls

2023-10-04T20:29:45Z

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug functions. Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming conventions while they mirror each other's effects. Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions. Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

rcu: Assume rcu_report_dead() is always called locally

2023-10-04T15:35:56Z

rcu_report_dead() has to be called locally by the CPU that is going to exit the RCU state machine. Passing a cpu argument here is error-prone and leaves the possibility for a racy remote call. Use local access instead. Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker
