      x86/speculation/mds: Conditionally clear CPU buffers on idle entry · 4df98b3f
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit 07f07f55a29cb705e221eda7894dd67ab81ef343 upstream
      
      Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear
      mechanism on idle entry. This is independent of other MDS mitigations
      because the idle entry invocation to mitigate the potential leakage due to
      store buffer repartitioning is only necessary on SMT systems.
      
      Add the actual invocations to the different halt/mwait variants which
      covers all usage sites. mwaitx is not patched as it's not available on
      Intel CPUs.
      
      The buffer clear is only invoked before entering the C-State to prevent
      that stale data from the idling CPU is spilled to the Hyper-Thread sibling
      after the Store buffer got repartitioned and all entries are available to
      the non idle sibling.
      
      When coming out of idle the store buffer is partitioned again so each
      sibling has half of it available. Now CPU which returned from idle could be
      speculatively exposed to contents of the sibling, but the buffers are
      flushed either on exit to user space or on VMENTER.
      
      When later on conditional buffer clearing is implemented on top of this,
      then there is no action required either because before returning to user
      space the context switch will set the condition flag which causes a flush
      on the return to user path.
      
      Note, that the buffer clearing on idle is only sensible on CPUs which are
      solely affected by MSBDS and not any other variant of MDS because the other
      MDS variants cannot be mitigated when SMT is enabled, so the buffer
      clearing on idle would be a window dressing exercise.
      
      This intentionally does not handle the case in the acpi/processor_idle
      driver which uses the legacy IO port interface for C-State transitions for
      two reasons:
      
       - The acpi/processor_idle driver was replaced by the intel_idle driver
         almost a decade ago. Anything Nehalem upwards supports it and defaults
         to that new driver.
      
       - The legacy IO port interface is likely to be used on older and therefore
         unaffected CPUs or on systems which do not receive microcode updates
         anymore, so there is no point in adding that.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX instruction support · f9675674
      Huang Rui 提交于
      AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Models 60h-6fh) added a new
      feature called MWAITX (MWAIT with extensions) as an extension to
      MONITOR/MWAIT.
      
      This new instruction controls a configurable timer which causes
      the core to exit wait state on timer expiration, in addition to
      "normal" MWAIT condition of reading from a monitored VA.
      
      Compared to MONITOR/MWAIT, there are minor differences in opcode
      and input parameters:
      
      MWAITX ECX[1]: enable timer if set
      MWAITX EBX[31:0]: max wait time expressed in SW P0 clocks ==
      TSC. The software P0 frequency is the same as the TSC frequency.
      
                      MWAIT                           MWAITX

      EAX                           unused (reserve for hint)
      EBX[31:0]       unused             |            max wait time (SW P0 == TSC)

      sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power... · b253149b
      Len Brown 提交于
      sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance
      
      In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop:
      
        69fb3676 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param")
      
      The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently
      happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT
      loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle
      invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop.
      
      But two machines reported problems:
      
       1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only.
          MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance.
          But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and
          so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever.
      
       2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used,
          but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used.
          This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI,
          that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS
          where the BIOS was validated.
      
             https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770
      
      So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring
      the mwait_idle() loop.  However, we don't bother restoring
      the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add
      no value.
      
      Maintainer notes:
      
        For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676
        for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in
        context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly

      intel_idle: remove assumption of one C-state per MWAIT flag · e022e7eb
      Len Brown 提交于
      Remove the assumption that cstate_tables are
      indexed by MWAIT flag values.  Each entry
      identifies itself via its own flags value.
      This change is needed to support multiple states
      that share the same MWAIT flags.
      
      Note that this can have an effect on what state is described
      by 'N' on cmdline intel_idle.max_cstate=N on some systems.
      
      intel_idle.max_cstate=0 still disables the driver
      intel_idle.max_cstate=1 still results in just C1(E)
      However, "place holders" in the sparse C-state name-space
      (eg. Atom) have been removed.

      intel_idle: remove use and definition of MWAIT_MAX_NUM_CSTATES · 137ecc77
      Len Brown 提交于
      Cosmetic only.
      
      Replace use of MWAIT_MAX_NUM_CSTATES with CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX.
      They are both 8, so this patch has no functional change.
      
      The reason to change is that intel_idle will soon be able
      to export more than the 8 "major" states supported by MWAIT.
      When we hit that limit, it is important to know
      where the limit comes from.
