Now that all possible APIC IDs are tracked in the topology bitmaps, its
trivial to retrieve the real information from there.
This gets rid of the guesstimates for the maximal packages and dies per
package as the actual numbers can be determined before a single AP has been
brought up.
The number of SMT threads can now be determined correctly from the bitmaps
in all situations. Up to now a system which has SMT disabled in the BIOS
will still claim that it is SMT capable, because the lowest APIC ID bit is
reserved for that and CPUID leaf 0xb/0x1f still enumerates the SMT domain
accordingly. By calculating the bitmap weights of the SMT and the CORE
domain and setting them into relation the SMT disabled in BIOS situation
reports correctly that the system is not SMT capable.
It also handles the situation correctly when a hybrid systems boot CPU does
not have SMT as it takes the SMT capability of the APs fully into account.

The legacy topology detection via CPUID leaf 4, which provides the number
of cores in the package and CPUID leaf 1 which provides the number of
logical CPUs in case that FEATURE_HT is enabled and the CMP_LEGACY feature
is not set, is shared for Intel, Centaur and Zhaoxin CPUs.
Lift the code from common.c without the early detection hack and provide it
as common fallback mechanism.

Topology evaluation is a complete disaster and impenetrable mess. It's
scattered all over the place with some vendor implementations doing early
evaluation and some not. The most horrific part is the permanent
overwriting of smt_max_siblings and __max_die_per_package, instead of
establishing them once on the boot CPU and validating the result on the
APs.
The goals are:
- One topology evaluation entry point
- Proper sharing of pointlessly duplicated code
- Proper structuring of the evaluation logic and preferences.
- Evaluating important system wide information only once on the boot CPU
- Making the 0xb/0x1f leaf parsing less convoluted and actually fixing
the short comings of leaf 0x1f evaluation.
Start to consolidate the topology evaluation code by providing the entry
points for the early boot CPU evaluation and for the final parsing on the
boot CPU and the APs.
Move the trivial pieces into that new code:
- The initialization of cpuinfo_x86::topo
- The evaluation of CPUID leaf 1, which presets topo::initial_apicid
- topo_apicid is set to topo::initial_apicid when invoked from early
boot. When invoked for the final evaluation on the boot CPU it reads
the actual APIC ID, which makes apic_get_initial_apicid() obsolete
once everything is converted over.
Provide a temporary helper function topo_converted() which shields off the
not yet converted CPU vendors from invoking code which would break them.
This shielding covers all vendor CPUs which support SMP, but not the
historical pure UP ones as they only need the topology info init and
eventually the initial APIC initialization.
Provide two new members in cpuinfo_x86::topo to store the maximum number of
SMT siblings and the number of dies per package and add them to the debugfs
readout. These two members will be used to populate this information on the
boot CPU and to validate the APs against it.

Without SEV-SNP, Automatic IBRS protects only the kernel. But when
SEV-SNP is enabled, the Automatic IBRS protection umbrella widens to all
host-side code, including userspace. This protection comes at a cost:
reduced userspace indirect branch performance.
To avoid this performance loss, don't use Automatic IBRS on SEV-SNP
hosts and all back to retpolines instead.

Pull x86 TDX updates from Dave Hansen:
"This contains the initial support for host-side TDX support so that
KVM can run TDX-protected guests. This does not include the actual
KVM-side support which will come from the KVM folks. The TDX host
interactions with kexec also needs to be ironed out before this is
ready for prime time, so this code is currently Kconfig'd off when
kexec is on.
The majority of the code here is the kernel telling the TDX module
which memory to protect and handing some additional memory over to it
to use to store TDX module metadata. That sounds pretty simple, but
the TDX architecture is rather flexible and it takes quite a bit of
back-and-forth to say, "just protect all memory, please."
There is also some code tacked on near the end of the series to handle
a hardware erratum. The erratum can make software bugs such as a
kernel write to TDX-protected memory cause a machine check and
masquerade as a real hardware failure. The erratum handling watches
out for these and tries to provide nicer user errors"

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.

AMD does not have the requirement for a synchronization barrier when
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 <Kishon.VijayAbraham@amd.com>:
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

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 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.

Some variables in pcpu_hot, currently current_task and top_of_stack
are actually per-thread variables implemented as per-CPU variables
and thus stable for the duration of the respective task. There is
already an attempt to eliminate redundant reads from these variables
using this_cpu_read_stable() asm macro, which hides the dependency
on the read memory address. However, the compiler has limited ability
to eliminate asm common subexpressions, so this approach results in a
limited success.
The solution is to allow more aggressive elimination by aliasing
pcpu_hot into a const-qualified const_pcpu_hot, and to read stable
per-CPU variables from this constant copy.
The current per-CPU infrastructure does not support reads from
const-qualified variables. However, when the compiler supports segment
qualifiers, it is possible to declare the const-aliased variable in
the relevant named address space. The compiler considers access to the
variable, declared in this way, as a read from a constant location,
and will optimize reads from the variable accordingly.
By implementing constant-qualified const_pcpu_hot, the compiler can
eliminate redundant reads from the constant variables, reducing the
number of loads from current_task from 3766 to 3217 on a test build,
a -14.6% reduction.
The reduction of loads translates to the following code savings:

32-bit loads microcode before paging is enabled. The commit which
introduced that has zero justification in the changelog. The cover
letter has slightly more content, but it does not give any technical
justification either:
"The problem in current microcode loading method is that we load a
microcode way, way too late; ideally we should load it before turning
paging on. This may only be practical on 32 bits since we can't get
to 64-bit mode without paging on, but we should still do it as early
as at all possible."
Handwaving word salad with zero technical content.
Someone claimed in an offlist conversation that this is required for
curing the ATOM erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41. That erratum requires
an microcode update in order to make the usage of PSE safe. But during
early boot, PSE is completely irrelevant and it is evaluated way later.
Neither is it relevant for the AP on single core HT enabled CPUs as the
microcode loading on the AP is not doing anything.
On dual core CPUs there is a theoretical problem if a split of an
executable large page between enabling paging including PSE and loading
the microcode happens. But that's only theoretical, it's practically
irrelevant because the affected dual core CPUs are 64bit enabled and
therefore have paging and PSE enabled before loading the microcode on
the second core. So why would it work on 64-bit but not on 32-bit?
The erratum:
"AAG38 Code Fetch May Occur to Incorrect Address After a Large Page is
Split Into 4-Kbyte Pages
Problem: If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE
(page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through
this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old
TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it
may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the
old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This
erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses."
The practical relevance for this is exactly zero because there is no
splitting of large text pages during early boot-time, i.e. between paging
enable and microcode loading, and neither during CPU hotplug.
IOW, this load microcode before paging enable is yet another voodoo
programming solution in search of a problem. What's worse is that it causes
at least two serious problems:
1) When stackprotector is enabled, the microcode loader code has the
stackprotector mechanics enabled. The read from the per CPU variable
__stack_chk_guard is always accessing the virtual address either
directly on UP or via %fs on SMP. In physical address mode this
results in an access to memory above 3GB. So this works by chance as
the hardware returns the same value when there is no RAM at this
physical address. When there is RAM populated above 3G then the read
is by chance the same as nothing changes that memory during the very
early boot stage. That's not necessarily true during runtime CPU
hotplug.
2) When function tracing is enabled, the relevant microcode loader
functions and the functions invoked from there will call into the
tracing code and evaluate global and per CPU variables in physical
address mode. What could potentially go wrong?
Cure this and move the microcode loading after the early paging enable, use
the new temporary initrd mapping and remove the gunk in the microcode
loader which is required to handle physical address mode.

The topology related information is randomly scattered across cpuinfo_x86.
Create a new structure cpuinfo_topo and move in a first step initial_apicid
and apicid into it.
Aside of being better readable this is in preparation for replacing the
horribly fragile CPU topology evaluation code further down the road.
Consolidate APIC ID fields to u32 as that represents the hardware type.
No functional change.

c->x86_cache_alignment is initialized from c->x86_clflush_size.
However, commit fbf6449f84 moved c->x86_clflush_size initialization
to later in boot without moving the c->x86_cache_alignment assignment:
fbf6449f84 ("x86/sev-es: Set x86_virt_bits to the correct value straight away, instead of a two-phase approach")
This presumably left c->x86_cache_alignment set to zero for longer
than it should be.
The result was an oops on 32-bit kernels while accessing a pointer
at 0x20. The 0x20 came from accessing a structure member at offset
0x10 (buffer->cpumask) from a ZERO_SIZE_PTR=0x10. kmalloc() can
evidently return ZERO_SIZE_PTR when it's given 0 as its alignment
requirement.
Move the c->x86_cache_alignment initialization to be after
c->x86_clflush_size has an actual value.

Instead of setting x86_virt_bits to a possibly-correct value and then
correcting it later, do all the necessary checks before setting it.
At this point, the #VC handler references boot_cpu_data.x86_virt_bits,
and in the previous version, it would be triggered by the CPUIDs between
the point at which it is set to 48 and when it is set to the correct
value.

Another major aspect of supporting running of 32bit processes is the
ability to access 32bit syscalls. Such syscalls can be invoked by
using the legacy int 0x80 handler and sysenter/syscall instructions.
If IA32 emulation is disabled ensure that each of those 3 distinct
mechanisms are also disabled. For int 0x80 a #GP exception would be
generated since the respective descriptor is not going to be loaded at
all. Invoking sysenter will also result in a #GP since IA32_SYSENTER_CS
contains an invalid segment. Finally, syscall instruction cannot really
be disabled so it's configured to execute a minimal handler.

The SYSCALL instruction cannot really be disabled in compatibility mode.
The best that can be done is to configure the CSTAR msr to point to a
minimal handler. Currently this handler has a rather misleading name -
ignore_sysret() as it's not really doing anything with sysret.
Give it a more descriptive name.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

The Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerability is common to all Skylake
processors. However, the "client" Skylakes* are now in this list:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000022396/processors.html
which means they are no longer included for new vulnerabilities here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/topic-technology/software-security-guidance/processors-affected-consolidated-product-cpu-model.html
or in other GDS documentation. Thus, they were not included in the
original GDS mitigation patches.
Mark SKYLAKE and SKYLAKE_L as vulnerable to GDS to match all the
other Skylake CPUs (which include Kaby Lake). Also group the CPUs
so that the ones that share the exact same vulnerabilities are next
to each other.
Last, move SRBDS to the end of each line. This makes it clear at a
glance that SKYLAKE_X is unique. Of the five Skylakes, it is the
only "server" CPU and has a different implementation from the
clients of the "special register" hardware, making it immune to SRBDS.
This makes the diff much harder to read, but the resulting table is
worth it.
I very much appreciate the report from Michael Zhivich about this
issue. Despite what level of support a hardware vendor is providing,
the kernel very much needs an accurate and up-to-date list of
vulnerable CPUs. More reports like this are very welcome.
* Client Skylakes are CPUID 406E3/506E3 which is family 6, models
0x4E and 0x5E, aka INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE and INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_L.

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the CPU hotplug core:
- Support partial SMT enablement.
So far the sysfs SMT control only allows to toggle between SMT on
and off. That's sufficient for x86 which usually has at max two
threads except for the Xeon PHI platform which has four threads per
core
Though PowerPC has up to 16 threads per core and so far it's only
possible to control the number of enabled threads per core via a
command line option. There is some way to control this at runtime,
but that lacks enforcement and the usability is awkward
This update expands the sysfs interface and the core infrastructure
to accept numerical values so PowerPC can build SMT runtime control
for partial SMT enablement on top
The core support has also been provided to the PowerPC maintainers
who added the PowerPC related changes on top

The following warning is reported when frame pointers and kernel IBT are
enabled:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ibt_selftest+0x11: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
The problem is that objtool interprets the indirect branch in
ibt_selftest() as a sibling call, and GCC inserts a (partial) frame
pointer prologue before it:
0000 000000000003f550 <ibt_selftest>:
0000 3f550: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
0004 3f554: e8 00 00 00 00 call 3f559 <ibt_selftest+0x9> 3f555: R_X86_64_PLT32 __fentry__-0x4

0011 3f561: ff e0 jmp *%rax
Note the inline asm is missing ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT, so the 'push %rbp'
happens before the indirect branch and the 'mov %rsp, %rbp' happens
afterwards.
Simplify the generated code and make it easier to understand for both
tools and humans by moving the selftest to proper asm.
