We'd like to replace all the magic numbers in various GDT descriptors
with new, semantically meaningful, symbolic values.
In order to be able to verify that the change doesn't cause any actual
changes to the compiled binary code, I've split the change into two
patches:
- Part 1 (this commit): everything _but_ actually replacing the numbers
- Part 2 (the following commit): _only_ replacing the numbers
The reason we need this split for verification is that including new
headers causes some spurious changes to the object files, mostly line
number changes in the debug info but occasionally other subtle codegen
changes.

Add an Intel specific hook into machine_check_poll() to keep track of
per-CPU, per-bank corrected error logs (with a stub for the
CONFIG_MCE_INTEL=n case).
When a storm is observed the rate of interrupts is reduced by setting
a large threshold value for this bank in IA32_MCi_CTL2. This bank is
added to the bitmap of banks for this CPU to poll. The polling rate is
increased to once per second.
When a storm ends reset the threshold in IA32_MCi_CTL2 back to 1, remove
the bank from the bitmap for polling, and change the polling rate back
to the default.
If a CPU with banks in storm mode is taken offline, the new CPU that
inherits ownership of those banks takes over management of storm(s) in
the inherited bank(s).
The cmci_discover() function was already very large. These changes
pushed it well over the top. Refactor with three helper functions to
bring it back under control.

This is the core functionality to track CMCI storms at the machine check
bank granularity. Subsequent patches will add the vendor specific hooks
to supply input to the storm detection and take actions on the start/end
of a storm.
machine_check_poll() is called both by the CMCI interrupt code, and for
periodic polls from a timer. Add a hook in this routine to maintain
a bitmap history for each bank showing whether the bank logged an
corrected error or not each time it is polled.
In normal operation the interval between polls of these banks determines
how far to shift the history. The 64 bit width corresponds to about one
second.
When a storm is observed a CPU vendor specific action is taken to reduce
or stop CMCI from the bank that is the source of the storm. The bank is
added to the bitmap of banks for this CPU to poll. The polling rate is
increased to once per second. During a storm each bit in the history
indicates the status of the bank each time it is polled. Thus the
history covers just over a minute.
Declare a storm for that bank if the number of corrected interrupts seen
in that history is above some threshold (defined as 5 in this series,
could be tuned later if there is data to suggest a better value).
A storm on a bank ends if enough consecutive polls of the bank show no
corrected errors (defined as 30, may also change). That calls the CPU
vendor specific function to revert to normal operational mode, and
changes the polling rate back to the default.

When a "storm" of corrected machine check interrupts (CMCI) is detected
this code mitigates by disabling CMCI interrupt signalling from all of
the banks owned by the CPU that saw the storm.
There are problems with this approach:
1) It is very coarse grained. In all likelihood only one of the banks
was generating the interrupts, but CMCI is disabled for all. This
means Linux may delay seeing and processing errors logged from other
banks.
2) Although CMCI stands for Corrected Machine Check Interrupt, it is
also used to signal when an uncorrected error is logged. This is
a problem because these errors should be handled in a timely manner.
Delete all this code in preparation for a finer grained solution.

The first few generations of TDX hardware have an erratum. Triggering
it in Linux requires some kind of kernel bug involving relatively exotic
memory writes to TDX private memory and will manifest via
spurious-looking machine checks when reading the affected memory.
Make an effort to detect these TDX-induced machine checks and spit out
a new blurb to dmesg so folks do not think their hardware is failing.
== Background ==
Virtually all kernel memory accesses operations happen in full
cachelines. In practice, writing a "byte" of memory usually reads a 64
byte cacheline of memory, modifies it, then writes the whole line back.
Those operations do not trigger this problem.
This problem is triggered by "partial" writes where a write transaction
of less than cacheline lands at the memory controller. The CPU does
these via non-temporal write instructions (like MOVNTI), or through
UC/WC memory mappings. The issue can also be triggered away from the
CPU by devices doing partial writes via DMA.
== Problem ==
A partial write to a TDX private memory cacheline will silently "poison"
the line. Subsequent reads will consume the poison and generate a
machine check. According to the TDX hardware spec, neither of these
things should have happened.
To add insult to injury, the Linux machine code will present these as a
literal "Hardware error" when they were, in fact, a software-triggered
issue.
== Solution ==
In the end, this issue is hard to trigger. Rather than do something
rash (and incomplete) like unmap TDX private memory from the direct map,
improve the machine check handler.
Currently, the #MC handler doesn't distinguish whether the memory is
TDX private memory or not but just dump, for instance, below message:
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 147: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffadb69870> {__tlb_remove_page_size+0x10/0xa0}
...
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel
[...] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check
Which says "Hardware Error" and "Data load in unrecoverable area of
kernel".
Ideally, it's better for the log to say "software bug around TDX private
memory" instead of "Hardware Error". But in reality the real hardware
memory error can happen, and sadly such software-triggered #MC cannot be
distinguished from the real hardware error. Also, the error message is
used by userspace tool 'mcelog' to parse, so changing the output may
break userspace.
So keep the "Hardware Error". The "Data load in unrecoverable area of
kernel" is also helpful, so keep it too.
Instead of modifying above error log, improve the error log by printing
additional TDX related message to make the log like:
...
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel
[...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine Check: TDX private memory error. Possible kernel bug.
Adding this additional message requires determination of whether the
memory page is TDX private memory. There is no existing infrastructure
to do that. Add an interface to query the TDX module to fill this gap.
== Impact ==
This issue requires some kind of kernel bug to trigger.
TDX private memory should never be mapped UC/WC. A partial write
originating from these mappings would require *two* bugs, first mapping
the wrong page, then writing the wrong memory. It would also be
detectable using traditional memory corruption techniques like
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
MOVNTI (and friends) could cause this issue with something like a simple
buffer overrun or use-after-free on the direct map. It should also be
detectable with normal debug techniques.
The one place where this might get nasty would be if the CPU read data
then wrote back the same data. That would trigger this problem but
would not, for instance, set off mechanisms like slab redzoning because
it doesn't actually corrupt data.
With an IOMMU at least, the DMA exposure is similar to the UC/WC issue.
TDX private memory would first need to be incorrectly mapped into the
I/O space and then a later DMA to that mapping would actually cause the
poisoning event.

Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious
host and certain physical attacks. A CPU-attested software module
called 'the TDX module' runs inside a new isolated memory range as a
trusted hypervisor to manage and run protected VMs.
Pre-TDX Intel hardware has support for a memory encryption architecture
called MKTME. The memory encryption hardware underpinning MKTME is also
used for Intel TDX. TDX ends up "stealing" some of the physical address
space from the MKTME architecture for crypto-protection to VMs. The
BIOS is responsible for partitioning the "KeyID" space between legacy
MKTME and TDX. The KeyIDs reserved for TDX are called 'TDX private
KeyIDs' or 'TDX KeyIDs' for short.
During machine boot, TDX microcode verifies that the BIOS programmed TDX
private KeyIDs consistently and correctly programmed across all CPU
packages. The MSRs are locked in this state after verification. This
is why MSR_IA32_MKTME_KEYID_PARTITIONING gets used for TDX enumeration:
it indicates not just that the hardware supports TDX, but that all the
boot-time security checks passed.
The TDX module is expected to be loaded by the BIOS when it enables TDX,
but the kernel needs to properly initialize it before it can be used to
create and run any TDX guests. The TDX module will be initialized by
the KVM subsystem when KVM wants to use TDX.
Detect platform TDX support by detecting TDX private KeyIDs.
The TDX module itself requires one TDX KeyID as the 'TDX global KeyID'
to protect its metadata. Each TDX guest also needs a TDX KeyID for its
own protection. Just use the first TDX KeyID as the global KeyID and
leave the rest for TDX guests. If no TDX KeyID is left for TDX guests,
disable TDX as initializing the TDX module alone is useless.

Commit in Fixes added an AMD-specific microcode callback. However, it
didn't check the CPU vendor the kernel runs on explicitly.
The only reason the Zenbleed check in it didn't run on other x86 vendors
hardware was pure coincidental luck:
if (!cpu_has_amd_erratum(c, amd_zenbleed))
return;
gives true on other vendors because they don't have those families and
models.
However, with the removal of the cpu_has_amd_erratum() in
05f5f73936fa ("x86/CPU/AMD: Drop now unused CPU erratum checking function")
that coincidental condition is gone, leading to the zenbleed check
getting executed on other vendors too.
Add the explicit vendor check for the whole callback as it should've
been done in the first place.

This is fragile. Moving the register_cpu() to a different

AMD systems generally allow MCA "simulation" where MCA registers can be
written with valid data and the full MCA handling flow can be tested by
software.
However, the platform on Scalable MCA systems, can prevent software from
writing data to the MCA registers. There is no architectural way to
determine this configuration. Therefore, the MCE injection module will
check for this behavior by writing and reading back a test status value.
This is done during module init, and the check can run on any CPU with
any valid MCA bank.
If MCA_STATUS writes are ignored by the platform, then there are no side
effects on the hardware state.
If the writes are not ignored, then the test status value will remain in
the hardware MCA_STATUS register. It is likely that the value will not
be overwritten by hardware or software, since the tested CPU and bank
are arbitrary. Therefore, the user may see a spurious, synthetic MCA
error reported whenever MCA is polled for this CPU.
Clear the test value immediately after writing it. It is very unlikely
that a valid MCA error is logged by hardware during the test. Errors
that cause an #MC won't be affected.

The AMD side of the loader issues the microcode revision for each
logical thread on the system, which can become really noisy on huge
machines. And doing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the
microcode revision is already in /proc/cpuinfo.
So in case one is interested in the theoretical support of mixed silicon
steppings on AMD, one can check there.
What is also missing on the AMD side - something which people have
requested before - is showing the microcode revision the CPU had
*before* the early update.
So abstract that up in the main code and have the BSP on each vendor
provide those revision numbers.
Then, dump them only once on driver init.
On Intel, do not dump the patch date - it is not needed.

First of all, the print is useless. The driver will either load and say
which microcode revision the machine has or issue an error.
Then, the version number is meaningless and actively confusing, as Yazen
mentioned recently: when a subset of patches are backported to a distro
kernel, one can't assume the driver version is the same as the upstream
one. And besides, the version number of the loader hasn't been used and
incremented for a long time. So drop it.

acccessing a certain group of MSRs. Do not incur that unnecessary
penalty there.
There will be a CPUID bit which explicitly states that a MFENCE is not
needed. Once that bit is added to the APM, this will be extended with
it.
While at it, move to processor.h to avoid include hell. Untangling that
file properly is a matter for another day.
Some notes on the performance aspect of why this is relevant, courtesy
of Kishon VijayAbraham <[email protected]>:
On a AMD Zen4 system with 96 cores, a modified ipi-bench[1] on a VM
shows x2AVIC IPI rate is 3% to 4% lower than AVIC IPI rate. The
ipi-bench is modified so that the IPIs are sent between two vCPUs in the
same CCX. This also requires to pin the vCPU to a physical core to
prevent any latencies. This simulates the use case of pinning vCPUs to
the thread of a single CCX to avoid interrupt IPI latency.
In order to avoid run-to-run variance (for both x2AVIC and AVIC), the
below configurations are done:
1) Disable Power States in BIOS (to prevent the system from going to
lower power state)
2) Run the system at fixed frequency 2500MHz (to prevent the system
from increasing the frequency when the load is more)
With the above configuration:
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for AVIC:
Average Latency: 1124.98ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.6759M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1172.42ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 40.9432M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
From above, x2AVIC latency is ~4% more than AVIC. However, the expectation is
x2AVIC performance to be better or equivalent to AVIC. Upon analyzing
the perf captures, it is observed significant time is spent in
weak_wrmsr_fence() invoked by x2apic_send_IPI().
With the fix to skip weak_wrmsr_fence()
*) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC:
Average Latency: 1117.44ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU]
Cumulative throughput: 42.9608M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from
48 vCPUs simultaneously]
Comparing the performance of x2AVIC with and without the fix, it can be seen
the performance improves by ~4%.
Performance captured using an unmodified ipi-bench using the 'mesh-ipi' option
with and without weak_wrmsr_fence() on a Zen4 system also showed significant
performance improvement without weak_wrmsr_fence(). The 'mesh-ipi' option ignores
CCX or CCD and just picks random vCPU.
Average throughput (10 iterations) with weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 4933374 IPI/s
Average throughput (10 iterations) without weak_wrmsr_fence(),
Cumulative throughput: 6355156 IPI/s

Memory errors don't happen very often, especially fatal ones. However,
in large-scale scenarios such as data centers, that probability
increases with the amount of machines present.
When a fatal machine check happens, mce_panic() is called based on the
severity grading of that error. The page containing the error is not
marked as poison.
However, when kexec is enabled, tools like makedumpfile understand when
pages are marked as poison and do not touch them so as not to cause
a fatal machine check exception again while dumping the previous
kernel's memory.
Therefore, mark the page containing the error as poisoned so that the
kexec'ed kernel can avoid accessing the page.

Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislac Petkov:
"Major microcode loader restructuring, cleanup and improvements by
Thomas Gleixner:
- Restructure the code needed for it and add a temporary initrd
mapping on 32-bit so that the loader can access the microcode
blobs. This in itself is a preparation for the next major
improvement:
- Do not load microcode on 32-bit before paging has been enabled.
Handling this has caused an endless stream of headaches, issues,
ugly code and unnecessary hacks in the past. And there really
wasn't any sensible reason to do that in the first place. So switch
the 32-bit loading to happen after paging has been enabled and turn
the loader code "real purrty" again
- Drop mixed microcode steppings loading on Intel - there, a single
patch loaded on the whole system is sufficient
- Rework late loading to track which CPUs have updated microcode
successfully and which haven't, act accordingly
- Move late microcode loading on Intel in NMI context in order to
guarantee concurrent loading on all threads
- Make the late loading CPU-hotplug-safe and have the offlined
threads be woken up for the purpose of the update
- Add support for a minimum revision which determines whether late
microcode loading is safe on a machine and the microcode does not
change software visible features which the machine cannot use
anyway since feature detection has happened already. Roughly, the
minimum revision is the smallest revision number which must be
loaded currently on the system so that late updates can be allowed
- Other nice leanups, fixess, etc all over the place"

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
unneeded check for procname == NULL.
The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
might as well roll through the fixes now"

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.

In general users, don't have the necessary information to determine
whether late loading of a new microcode version is safe and does not
modify anything which the currently running kernel uses already, e.g.
removal of CPUID bits or behavioural changes of MSRs.
To address this issue, Intel has added a "minimum required version"
field to a previously reserved field in the microcode header. Microcode
updates should only be applied if the current microcode version is equal
to, or greater than this minimum required version.
Thomas made some suggestions on how meta-data in the microcode file could
provide Linux with information to decide if the new microcode is suitable
candidate for late loading. But even the "simpler" option requires a lot of
metadata and corresponding kernel code to parse it, so the final suggestion
was to add the 'minimum required version' field in the header.
When microcode changes visible features, microcode will set the minimum
required version to its own revision which prevents late loading.
Old microcode blobs have the minimum revision field always set to 0, which
indicates that there is no information and the kernel considers it
unsafe.
This is a pure OS software mechanism. The hardware/firmware ignores this
header field.
For early loading there is no restriction because OS visible features
are enumerated after the early load and therefore a change has no
effect.
The check is always enabled, but by default not enforced. It can be
enforced via Kconfig or kernel command line.
If enforced, the kernel refuses to late load microcode with a minimum
required version field which is zero or when the currently loaded
microcode revision is smaller than the minimum required revision.
If not enforced the load happens independent of the revision check to
stay compatible with the existing behaviour, but it influences the
decision whether the kernel is tainted or not. If the check signals that
the late load is safe, then the kernel is not tainted.
Early loading is not affected by this.
