cpu/hotplug: Fix "SMT disabled by BIOS" detection for KVM

2019-01-30T18:27:00Z

With the following commit: 73d5e2b47264 ("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: 73d5e2b47264 ("cpu/hotplug: detect SMT disabled by BIOS") bc2d8d262cba ("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'.

x86/speculation: Remove redundant arch_smt_update() invocation

2019-01-29T21:20:24Z

With commit a74cfffb03b7 ("x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change"), arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU hotplug function. Therefore the extra arch_smt_update() call in the sysfs SMT control is redundant.

x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change

2018-11-28T10:57:07Z

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.

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

2018-10-05T08:20:31Z

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.

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

2018-09-26T12:26:52Z

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.

locking/lockdep, cpu/hotplug: Annotate AP thread

2018-09-11T18:01:03Z

Anybody trying to assert the cpu_hotplug_lock is held (lockdep_assert_cpus_held()) from AP callbacks will fail, because the lock is held by the BP. Stick in an explicit annotation in cpuhp_thread_fun() to make this work.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent state corruption on error rollback

2018-09-06T13:21:38Z

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.
