commit 2f8dea1692eef2b7ba6a256246ed82c365fdc686 upstream.
Consider a scenario where a CPU transitions from CPUHP_ONLINE to halfway
through a CPU hotunplug down to CPUHP_HRTIMERS_PREPARE, and then back to
CPUHP_ONLINE:
Since hrtimers_prepare_cpu() does not run, cpu_base.hres_active remains set
to 1 throughout. However, during a CPU unplug operation, the tick and the
clockevents are shut down at CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING. On return to the online
state, for instance CFS incorrectly assumes that the hrtick is already
active, and the chance of the clockevent device to transition to oneshot
mode is also lost forever for the CPU, unless it goes back to a lower state
than CPUHP_HRTIMERS_PREPARE once.
This round-trip reveals another issue; cpu_base.online is not set to 1
after the transition, which appears as a WARN_ON_ONCE in enqueue_hrtimer().
Aside of that, the bulk of the per CPU state is not reset either, which
means there are dangling pointers in the worst case.
Address this by adding a corresponding startup() callback, which resets the
stale per CPU state and sets the online flag.
[ tglx: Make the new callback unconditionally available, remove the online
modification in the prepare() callback and clear the remaining
state in the starting callback instead of the prepare callback ]

[ Upstream commit 6c17ea1f3eaa330d445ac14a9428402ce4e3055e ]
If a core is offline then enabling SMT should not online CPUs of
this core. By enabling SMT, what is intended is either changing the SMT
value from "off" to "on" or setting the SMT level (threads per core) from a
lower to higher value.
On PowerPC the ppc64_cpu utility can be used, among other things, to
perform the following functions:
ppc64_cpu --cores-on # Get the number of online cores
ppc64_cpu --cores-on=X # Put exactly X cores online
ppc64_cpu --offline-cores=X[,Y,...] # Put specified cores offline
ppc64_cpu --smt={on|off|value} # Enable, disable or change SMT level
If the user has decided to offline certain cores, enabling SMT should
not online CPUs in those cores. This patch fixes the issue and changes
the behaviour as described, by introducing an arch specific function
topology_is_core_online(). It is currently implemented only for PowerPC.

After the rework of "Parallel CPU bringup", the cmdline "nosmp" and
"maxcpus=0" parameters are not working anymore. These parameters set
setup_max_cpus to zero and that's handed to bringup_nonboot_cpus().
The code there does a decrement before checking for zero, which brings it
into the negative space and brings up all CPUs.
Add a zero check at the beginning of the function to prevent this.

Explicitly disallow enabling mitigations at runtime for kernels that were
built with CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS=n, as some architectures may omit code
entirely if mitigations are disabled at compile time.
E.g. on x86, a large pile of Kconfigs are buried behind CPU_MITIGATIONS,
and trying to provide sane behavior for retroactively enabling mitigations
is extremely difficult, bordering on impossible. E.g. page table isolation
and call depth tracking require build-time support, BHI mitigations will
still be off without additional kernel parameters, etc.

commit fe42754b94a42d08cf9501790afc25c4f6a5f631 upstream.
Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

2b8272ff4a ("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.

[ Upstream commit d91bdd96b55cc3ce98d883a60f133713821b80a6 ]
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.

T1 is migrated to CPU2
T1 initiates offlining of CPU1
Hotplug operation starts
...
'period_timer' expires and is re-enqueued on CPU1
...
take_cpu_down()
CPU1 shuts down and does not handle timers
anymore. They have to be migrated in the
post dead hotplug steps by the control task.
T1 runs the post dead offline operation
T1 is scheduled out
T1 waits for 'period_timer' to expire
T1 waits there forever if it is scheduled out before it can execute the hrtimer
offline callback hrtimers_dead_cpu().
Cure this by delegating the hotplug control operation to a worker thread on
an online CPU. This takes the initiating user space task, which might be
affected by the bandwidth timer, completely out of the picture.

Add support to the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control interface for
enabling a specified number of SMT threads per core, including partial

The current interface accepts "on" and "off", to enable either 1 or all
SMT threads per core.
This commit allows writing an integer, between 1 and the number of SMT
threads supported by the machine. Writing 1 is a synonym for "off", 2 or
more enables SMT with the specified number of threads.
When reading the file, if all threads are online "on" is returned, to
avoid changing behaviour for existing users. If some other number of
threads is online then the integer value is returned.
Architectures like x86 only supporting 1 thread or all threads, should not
define CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC. Architecture supporting partial SMT
states, like PowerPC, should define it.

Some architectures allows partial SMT states, i.e. when not all SMT threads
are brought online.
To support that, add an architecture helper which checks whether a given
CPU is allowed to be brought online depending on how many SMT threads are
currently enabled. Since this is only applicable to architecture supporting
partial SMT, only these architectures should select the new configuration
variable CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC. For the other architectures, not
supporting the partial SMT states, there is no need to define
topology_cpu_smt_allowed(), the generic code assumed that all the threads
are allowed or only the primary ones.
Call the helper from cpu_smt_enable(), and cpu_smt_allowed() when SMT is
enabled, to check if the particular thread should be onlined. Notably,
also call it from cpu_smt_disable() if CPU_SMT_ENABLED, to allow
offlining some threads to move from a higher to lower number of threads
online.

There is often significant latency in the early stages of CPU bringup, and
time is wasted by waking each CPU (e.g. with SIPI/INIT/INIT on x86) and
then waiting for it to respond before moving on to the next.
Allow a platform to enable parallel setup which brings all to be onlined
CPUs up to the CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP state. While this state advancement on the
control CPU (BP) is single-threaded the important part is the last state
CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP which wakes the to be onlined CPUs up.
This allows the CPUs to run up to the first sychronization point
cpuhp_ap_sync_alive() where they wait for the control CPU to release them
one by one for the full onlining procedure.
This parallelism depends on the CPU hotplug core sync mechanism which
ensures that the parallel brought up CPUs wait for release before touching
any state which would make the CPU visible to anything outside the hotplug
control mechanism.
To handle the SMT constraints of X86 correctly the bringup happens in two
iterations when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT is enabled. The control CPU brings up
the primary SMT threads of each core first, which can load the microcode
without the need to rendevouz with the thread siblings. Once that's
completed it brings up the secondary SMT threads.

The bring up logic of a to be onlined CPU consists of several parts, which
are considered to be a single hotplug state:
1) Control CPU issues the wake-up
2) To be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal initialization,
reports to be alive and waits for release into the complete bring-up.
3) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
for the complete bring-up.
Allow to split this into two states:
1) Control CPU issues the wake-up
After that the to be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal
initialization, reports to be alive and waits for release into the
full bring-up. As this can run after the control CPU dropped the
hotplug locks the code which is executed on the AP before it reports
alive has to be carefully audited to not violate any of the hotplug
constraints, especially not modifying any of the various cpumasks.
This is really only meant to avoid waiting for the AP to react on the
wake-up. Of course an architecture can move strict CPU related setup
functionality, e.g. microcode loading, with care before the
synchronization point to save further pointless waiting time.
2) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU
for the complete bring-up.
This allows that the two states can be split up to run all to be onlined
CPUs up to state #1 on the control CPU and then at a later point run state
#2. This spares some of the latencies of the full serialized per CPU
bringup by avoiding the per CPU wakeup/wait serialization. The assumption
is that the first AP already waits when the last AP has been woken up. This
obvioulsy depends on the hardware latencies and depending on the timings
this might still not completely eliminate all wait scenarios.
This split is just a preparatory step for enabling the parallel bringup
later. The boot time bringup is still fully serialized. It has a separate
config switch so that architectures which want to support parallel bringup
can test the split of the CPUHP_BRINGUG step separately.
To enable this the architecture must support the CPU hotplug core sync
mechanism and has to be audited that there are no implicit hotplug state
dependencies which require a fully serialized bringup.

Commit dce1ca0525 ("sched/scs: Reset task stack state in bringup_cpu()")
ensured that the shadow call stack and KASAN poisoning were removed from
a CPU's stack each time that CPU is brought up, not just once.
This is not incorrect. However, with parallel bringup the idle thread setup
will happen at a different step. As a consequence the cleanup in
bringup_cpu() would be too late.
Move the SCS/KASAN cleanup to the generic _cpu_up() function instead,
which already ensures that the new CPU's stack is available, purely to
allow for early failure. This occurs when the CPU to be brought up is
in the CPUHP_OFFLINE state, which should correctly do the cleanup any
time the CPU has been taken down to the point where such is needed.

The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.
Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.
Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:
1) DEAD state synchronization
Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.
The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
invoked.
2) Full state synchronization
This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.
It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
during a previous off-line operation.
The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.
