smp: Remove superfluous cond_func check in smp_call_function_many_cond()

2020-01-28T14:43:00Z

It was requested to remove the cond_func check but the follow up patch was overlooked. Remove it now.

smp: Remove allocation mask from on_each_cpu_cond.*()

2020-01-24T19:40:09Z

The allocation mask is no longer used by on_each_cpu_cond() and on_each_cpu_cond_mask() and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200117090137.1205765-4-bigeasy@linutronix.de

smp: Add a smp_cond_func_t argument to smp_call_function_many()

2020-01-24T19:40:09Z

on_each_cpu_cond_mask() allocates a new CPU mask. The newly allocated mask is a subset of the provided mask based on the conditional function. This memory allocation can be avoided by extending smp_call_function_many() with the conditional function and performing the remote function call based on the mask and the conditional function. Rename smp_call_function_many() to smp_call_function_many_cond() and add the smp_cond_func_t argument. If smp_cond_func_t is provided then it is used before invoking the function. Provide smp_call_function_many() with cond_func set to NULL. Let on_each_cpu_cond_mask() use smp_call_function_many_cond().

smp: Warn on function calls from softirq context

2019-07-20T09:27:16Z

It's clearly documented that smp function calls cannot be invoked from softirq handling context. Unfortunately nothing enforces that or emits a warning. A single function call can be invoked from softirq context only via smp_call_function_single_async(). The only legit context is task context, so add a warning to that effect.

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'.

smp,cpumask: introduce on_each_cpu_cond_mask

2018-10-09T14:51:11Z

Introduce a variant of on_each_cpu_cond that iterates only over the CPUs in a cpumask, in order to avoid making callbacks for every single CPU in the system when we only need to test a subset.
