x86/tsc: Trust initial offset in architectural TSC-adjust MSRs

commit 455f9075f14484f358b3c1d6845b4a438de198a7 upstream.

When the BIOS configures the architectural TSC-adjust MSRs on secondary
sockets to correct a constant inter-chassis offset, after Linux brings the
cores online, the TSC sync check later resets the core-local MSR to 0,
triggering HPET fallback and leading to performance loss.

Fix this by unconditionally using the initial adjust values read from the
MSRs. Trusting the initial offsets in this architectural mechanism is a
better approach than special-casing workarounds for specific platforms.

The reason is the recent conversion of the TSC synchronization function
during CPU hotplug on the control CPU to a SMP function call. In case
that the synchronization with the upcoming CPU fails, the TSC has to be
marked unstable via clocksource_mark_unstable().

clocksource_mark_unstable() acquires 'watchdog_lock', but that lock is
taken with interrupts enabled in the watchdog timer callback to minimize
interrupt disabled time. That's obviously a possible deadlock scenario,

Before that change the synchronization function was invoked in thread
context so this could not happen.

As it is not crucical whether the unstable marking happens slightly
delayed, defer the call to a worker thread which avoids the lock context
problem.

x86/smpboot: Make TSC synchronization function call based

Spin-waiting on the control CPU until the AP reaches the TSC
synchronization is just a waste especially in the case that there is no
synchronization required.

As the synchronization has to run with interrupts disabled the control CPU
part can just be done from a SMP function call. The upcoming AP issues that
call async only in the case that synchronization is required.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

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/tsc: Drastically reduce the number of firmware bug warnings

Prior to the TSC ADJUST MSR being available, the method to set TSC's in
sync with each other naturally caused a small skew between cpu threads.
This was NOT a firmware bug at the time so introducing a whole avalanche
of alarming warning messages might cause unnecessary concern and customer
complaints. (Example: >3000 msgs in a 32 socket Skylake system.)

Simply report the warning condition, if possible do the necessary fixes,
and move on.

x86/tsc: Remove the TSC_ADJUST clamp

Now that all affected platforms have a microcode update; and we check
this and disable TSC_DEADLINE and print a microcode revision update
error if its too old, we can remove the TSC_ADJUST clamp.

This should help with systems where the second socket runs ahead of
the first socket and needs a negative adjustment. In this case we'd
hit the 0 clamp and give up for not achieving synchronization.

x86/tsc: Make the TSC ADJUST sanitizing work for tsc_reliable

When the TSC is marked reliable then the synchronization check is skipped,
but that also skips the TSC ADJUST sanitizing code. So on a machine with a
wreckaged BIOS the TSC deviation between CPUs might go unnoticed.

Let the TSC adjust sanitizing code run unconditionally and just skip the
expensive synchronization checks when TSC is marked reliable.

x86/tsc: Limit the adjust value further

Adjust value 0x80000000 and other values larger than that render the TSC
deadline timer disfunctional.

We have not yet any information about this from Intel, but experimentation
clearly proves that this is a 32/64 bit and sign extension issue.

If adjust values larger than that are actually required, which might be the
case for physical CPU hotplug, then we need to disable the deadline timer
on the affected package/CPUs and use the local APIC timer instead.

That requires some surgery in the APIC setup code, so we just limit the
ADJUST register value into the known to work range for now and revisit this
when Intel comes forth with proper information.

x86/tsc: Force TSC_ADJUST register to value >= zero

Roland reported that his DELL T5810 sports a value add BIOS which
completely wreckages the TSC. The squirmware [(TM) Ingo Molnar] boots with
random negative TSC_ADJUST values, different on all CPUs. That renders the
TSC useless because the sycnchronization check fails.

Roland tested the new TSC_ADJUST mechanism. While it manages to readjust
the TSCs he needs to disable the TSC deadline timer, otherwise the machine
just stops booting.

Deeper investigation unearthed that the TSC deadline timer is sensitive to
the TSC_ADJUST value. Writing TSC_ADJUST to a negative value results in an
interrupt storm caused by the TSC deadline timer.

This does not make any sense and it's hard to imagine what kind of hardware
wreckage is behind that misfeature, but it's reliably reproducible on other
systems which have TSC_ADJUST and TSC deadline timer.

While it would be understandable that a big enough negative value which
moves the resulting TSC readout into the negative space could have the
described effect, this happens even with a adjust value of -1, which keeps
the TSC readout definitely in the positive space. The compare register for
the TSC deadline timer is set to a positive value larger than the TSC, but
despite not having reached the deadline the interrupt is raised
immediately. If this happens on the boot CPU, then the machine dies
silently because this setup happens before the NMI watchdog is armed.

Further experiments showed that any other adjustment of TSC_ADJUST works as
expected as long as it stays in the positive range. The direction of the
adjustment has no influence either. See the lkml link for further analysis.

Yet another proof for the theory that timers are designed by janitors and
the underlying (obviously undocumented) mechanisms which allow BIOSes to
wreckage them are considered a feature. Well done Intel - NOT!

To address this wreckage add the following sanity measures:

- If the TSC_ADJUST value on the boot cpu is not 0, set it to 0

- If the TSC_ADJUST value on any cpu is negative, set it to 0

- Prevent the cross package synchronization mechanism from setting negative
TSC_ADJUST values.
