cpu/hotplug: Non-SMP machines do not make use of booted_once

cpu/hotplug: Fix SMT supported evaluation

2018-08-15T15:37:33Z

commit bc2d8d262cba5736332cbc866acb11b1c5748aa9 upstream. 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.

cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS

2018-08-15T15:37:31Z

commit 73d5e2b472640b1fcdb61ae8be389912ef211bda upstream. 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.

cpu/hotplug: Set CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED early

2018-08-15T15:37:30Z

commit fee0aede6f4739c87179eca76136f83210953b86 upstream. 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.

cpu/hotplug: Expose SMT control init function

2018-08-15T15:37:30Z

commit 8e1b706b6e819bed215c0db16345568864660393 upstream. The L1TF mitigation will gain a commend line parameter which allows to set a combination of hypervisor mitigation and SMT control. Expose cpu_smt_disable() so the command line parser can tweak SMT settings.

cpu/hotplug: Online siblings when SMT control is turned on

2018-08-15T15:37:29Z

commit 215af5499d9e2b55f111d2431ea20218115f29b3 upstream. Writing 'off' to /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control offlines all SMT siblings. Writing 'on' merily enables the abilify to online them, but does not online them automatically. Make 'on' more useful by onlining all offline siblings.

x86/KVM: Warn user if KVM is loaded SMT and L1TF CPU bug being present

2018-08-15T15:37:28Z

commit 26acfb666a473d960f0fd971fe68f3e3ad16c70b upstream. 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 on sibling threads.

cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once

2018-08-15T15:37:28Z

commit 0cc3cd21657be04cb0559fe8063f2130493f92cf upstream. 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.

cpu/hotplug: Provide knobs to control SMT

2018-08-15T15:37:26Z

commit 05736e4ac13c08a4a9b1ef2de26dd31a32cbee57 upstream. 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.
