commit 0dc9c639e6553e39c13b2c0d54c8a1b098cb95e2 upstream.

The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
  [..]
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   __might_sleep
   mutex_lock_nested
   ? __lock_acquire
   nfit_handle_mce
   notifier_call_chain
   atomic_notifier_call_chain
   ? atomic_notifier_call_chain
   mce_gen_pool_process

Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
context.

Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.

<title>x86/mce/AMD: Give a name to MCA bank 3 when accessed with legacy MSRs</title>

commit 29f72ce3e4d18066ec75c79c857bee0618a3504b upstream.

MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA.

Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.

Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

<title>x86/hyperv: Handle unknown NMIs on one CPU when unknown_nmi_panic</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 59107e2f48831daedc46973ce4988605ab066de3 ]

There is a feature in Hyper-V ('Debug-VM --InjectNonMaskableInterrupt')
which injects NMI to the guest. We may want to crash the guest and do kdump
on this NMI by enabling unknown_nmi_panic. To make kdump succeed we need to
allow the kdump kernel to re-establish VMBus connection so it will see
VMBus devices (storage, network,..).

To properly unload VMBus making it possible to start over during kdump we
need to do the following:

 - Send an 'unload' message to the hypervisor. This can be done on any CPU
   so we do this the crashing CPU.

 - Receive the 'unload finished' reply message. WS2012R2 delivers this
   message to the CPU which was used to establish VMBus connection during
   module load and this CPU may differ from the CPU sending 'unload'.

Receiving a VMBus message means the following:

 - There is a per-CPU slot in memory for one message. This slot can in
   theory be accessed by any CPU.

 - We get an interrupt on the CPU when a message was placed into the slot.

 - When we read the message we need to clear the slot and signal the fact
   to the hypervisor. In case there are more messages to this CPU pending
   the hypervisor will deliver the next message. The signaling is done by
   writing to an MSR so this can only be done on the appropriate CPU.

To avoid doing cross-CPU work on crash we have vmbus_wait_for_unload()
function which checks message slots for all CPUs in a loop waiting for the
'unload finished' messages. However, there is an issue which arises when
these conditions are met:

 - We're crashing on a CPU which is different from the one which was used
   to initially contact the hypervisor.

 - The CPU which was used for the initial contact is blocked with interrupts
   disabled and there is a message pending in the message slot.

In this case we won't be able to read the 'unload finished' message on the
crashing CPU. This is reproducible when we receive unknown NMIs on all CPUs
simultaneously: the first CPU entering panic() will proceed to crash and
all other CPUs will stop themselves with interrupts disabled.

The suggested solution is to handle unknown NMIs for Hyper-V guests on the
first CPU which gets them only. This will allow us to rely on VMBus
interrupt handler being able to receive the 'unload finish' message in
case it is delivered to a different CPU.

The issue is not reproducible on WS2016 as Debug-VM delivers NMI to the
boot CPU only, WS2012R2 and earlier Hyper-V versions are affected.

After:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

our  SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because
the ThreadId is included in the ApicId when SMT is enabled.

So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

commit 79a8b9aa388b0620cc1d525d7c0f0d9a8a85e08e upstream.

Commit:

  a33d331761bc ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.

Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.

That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.

When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream.

A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as
setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in
memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel
to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().

commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream.

A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as
setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in
memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel
to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().

commit a33d331761bc5dd330499ca5ceceb67f0640a8e6 upstream.

The following commit:

  8196dab4fc15 ("x86/cpu: Get rid of compute_unit_id")

... broke the initial strategy for Bulldozer-based cores' topology,
where we consider each thread of a compute unit a standalone core
and not a HT or SMT thread.

Revert to the firmware-supplied core_id numbering and do not make
them thread siblings as we don't consider them for such even if they
technically are, more or less.

<title>x86/bugs: Separate AMD E400 erratum and C1E bug</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 3344ed30791af66dbbad5f375008f3d1863b6c99 upstream.

The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E
state) is a two step process:

 - Selection of the E400 aware idle routine

 - Detection whether the platform is affected

The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on
family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily
affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the
firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot.

The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to
detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected
CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read.

There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time
which requires to seperate the bug flags:

  X86_BUG_AMD_E400 	- Selects the E400 aware idle routine and
  			  enables the detection

  X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E  - Set when the platform is affected by E400

Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400
bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional
detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches
to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.

<title>x86/cpu/AMD: Clean up cpu_llc_id assignment per topology feature</title>

<content type='text'>
commit b6a50cddbcbda7105355898ead18f1a647c22520 upstream.

These changes do not affect current hw - just a cleanup:

Currently, we assume that a system has a single Last Level Cache (LLC)
per node, and that the cpu_llc_id is thus equal to the node_id. This no
longer applies since Fam17h can have multiple last level caches within a
node.

So group the cpu_llc_id assignment by topology feature and family in
order to make the computation of cpu_llc_id on the different families
more clear.

Here is how the LLC ID is being computed on the different families:

The NODEID_MSR feature only applies to Fam10h in which case the LLC is
at the node level.

The TOPOEXT feature is used on families 15h, 16h and 17h. So far we only
see multiple last level caches if L3 caches are available. Otherwise,
the cpu_llc_id will default to be the phys_proc_id.

We have L3 caches only on families 15h and 17h:

 - on Fam15h, the LLC is at the node level.

 - on Fam17h, the LLC is at the core complex level and can be found by
   right shifting the APIC ID. Also, keep the family checks explicit so that
   new families will fall back to the default, which will be node_id for
   TOPOEXT systems.

Single node systems in families 10h and 15h will have a Node ID of 0
which will be the same as the phys_proc_id, so we don't need to check
for multiple nodes before using the node_id.
