Revert "x86/smp: Put CPUs into INIT on shutdown if possible"

This reverts commit 45e34c8af58f23db4474e2bfe79183efec09a18b, and the
two subsequent fixes to it:

3f874c9b2aae ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to non-present and non-booted CPUs")
b1472a60a584 ("x86/smp: Don't send INIT to boot CPU")

because it seems to result in hung machines at shutdown. Particularly
some Dell machines, but Thomas says

"The rest seems to be Lenovo and Sony with Alderlake/Raptorlake CPUs -
at least that's what I could figure out from the various bug reports.

I don't know which CPUs the DELL machines have, so I can't say it's a
pattern.

I agree with the revert for now"

Ashok Raj chimes in:

"There was a report (probably this same one), and it turns out it was a
bug in the BIOS SMI handler.

The client BIOS's were waiting for the lowest APICID to be the SMI
rendevous master. If this is MeteorLake, the BSP wasn't the one with
the lowest APIC and it triped here.

The BIOS change is also being pushed to others for assimilation :)

Server BIOS's had this correctly for a while now"

and it does look likely to be some bad interaction between SMI and the
non-BSP cores having put into INIT (and thus unresponsive until reset).

Pull x86 apic updates from Dave Hansen:
"This includes a very thorough rework of the 'struct apic' handlers.
Quite a variety of them popped up over the years, especially in the
32-bit days when odd apics were much more in vogue.

The end result speaks for itself, which is a removal of a ton of code
and static calls to replace indirect calls.

If there's any breakage here, it's likely to be around the 32-bit
museum pieces that get light to no testing these days.

Summary:

- Rework apic callbacks, getting rid of unnecessary ones and
coalescing lots of silly duplicates.

- Use static_calls() instead of indirect calls for apic->foo()

- Tons of cleanups an crap removal along the way"

This per CPU variable is just yet another form of voodoo programming. The
boot ordering is:

per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu) = 1U << cpu;

.....

setup_apic()
apic->init_apic_ldr()
default_init_apic_ldr()
apic_write(SET_APIC_LOGICAL_ID(1UL << smp_processor_id(), APIC_LDR);

id = GET_APIC_LOGICAL_ID(apic_read(APIC_LDR);
WARN_ON(id != per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu));
per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid, cpu) = id;

So first write the default into LDR and then validate it against the same default
which was set up during early boot APIC enumeration.

Brilliant, isn't it?

The comment above the per CPU variable declaration describes it well:
'Let's keep it ugly for now.'

Remove the useless gunk and use '1U << cpu' consistently all over the place.

Merge tag 'x86-core-2023-06-26' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for kexec(), reboot and shutdown issues:

- Ensure that the WBINVD in stop_this_cpu() has been completed before
the control CPU proceedes.

stop_this_cpu() is used for kexec(), reboot and shutdown to park
the APs in a HLT loop.

The control CPU sends an IPI to the APs and waits for their CPU
online bits to be cleared. Once they all are marked "offline" it
proceeds.

But stop_this_cpu() clears the CPU online bit before issuing
WBINVD, which means there is no guarantee that the AP has reached
the HLT loop.

This was reported to cause intermittent reboot/shutdown failures
due to some dubious interaction with the firmware.

This is not only a problem of WBINVD. The code to actually "stop"
the CPU which runs between clearing the online bit and reaching the
HLT loop can cause large enough delays on its own (think
virtualization). That's especially dangerous for kexec() as kexec()
expects that all APs are in a safe state and not executing code
while the boot CPU jumps to the new kernel. There are more issues
vs kexec() which are addressed separately.

Cure this by implementing an explicit synchronization point right
before the AP reaches HLT. This guarantees that the AP has
completed the full stop proceedure.

- Fix the condition for WBINVD in stop_this_cpu().

The WBINVD in stop_this_cpu() is required for ensuring that when
switching to or from memory encryption no dirty data is left in the
cache lines which might cause a write back in the wrong more later.

This checks CPUID directly because the feature bit might have been
cleared due to a command line option.

But that CPUID check accesses leaf 0x8000001f::EAX unconditionally.
Intel CPUs return the content of the highest supported leaf when a
non-existing leaf is read, while AMD CPUs return all zeros for
unsupported leafs.

So the result of the test on Intel CPUs is lottery and on AMD its
just correct by chance.

While harmless it's incorrect and causes the conditional wbinvd()
to be issued where not required, which caused the above issue to be
unearthed.

- Make kexec() robust against AP code execution

Ashok observed triple faults when doing kexec() on a system which
had been booted with "nosmt".

It turned out that the SMT siblings which had been brought up
partially are parked in mwait_play_dead() to enable power savings.

mwait_play_dead() is monitoring the thread flags of the AP's idle
task, which has been chosen as it's unlikely to be written to.

But kexec() can overwrite the previous kernel text and data
including page tables etc. When it overwrites the cache lines
monitored by an AP that AP resumes execution after the MWAIT on
eventually overwritten text, stack and page tables, which obviously
might end up in a triple fault easily.

Make this more robust in several steps:

1) Use an explicit per CPU cache line for monitoring.

2) Write a command to these cache lines to kick APs out of MWAIT
before proceeding with kexec(), shutdown or reboot.

The APs confirm the wakeup by writing status back and then
enter a HLT loop.

3) If the system uses INIT/INIT/STARTUP for AP bringup, park the
APs in INIT state.

HLT is not a guarantee that an AP won't wake up and resume
execution. HLT is woken up by NMI and SMI. SMI puts the CPU
back into HLT (+/- firmware bugs), but NMI is delivered to the
CPU which executes the NMI handler. Same issue as the MWAIT
scenario described above.

Sending an INIT/INIT sequence to the APs puts them into wait
for STARTUP state, which is safe against NMI.

There is still an issue remaining which can't be fixed: #MCE

If the AP sits in HLT and receives a broadcast #MCE it will try to
handle it with the obvious consequences.

INIT/INIT clears CR4.MCE in the AP which will cause a broadcast
#MCE to shut down the machine.

So there is a choice between fire (HLT) and frying pan (INIT).
Frying pan has been chosen as it's at least preventing the NMI
issue.

On systems which are not using INIT/INIT/STARTUP there is not much
which can be done right now, but at least the obvious and easy to
trigger MWAIT issue has been addressed"

Merge tag 'smp-core-2023-06-26' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update for SMP management:

- Parallel CPU bringup

The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
downtime of the VM tenants.

The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:

1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state

There are two significant delays:

#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.

#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
on the microcode patch size to apply.

On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
onlining procedure.

This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
mechanism into two parts:

1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
which needs to be brought up.

The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
above)

2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.

Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
would be justified for a pretty small gain.

If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.

The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.

For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.

- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

x86/smp: Put CPUs into INIT on shutdown if possible

Parking CPUs in a HLT loop is not completely safe vs. kexec() as HLT can
resume execution due to NMI, SMI and MCE, which has the same issue as the
MWAIT loop.

Kicking the secondary CPUs into INIT makes this safe against NMI and SMI.

A broadcast MCE will take the machine down, but a broadcast MCE which makes
HLT resume and execute overwritten text, pagetables or data will end up in
a disaster too.

So chose the lesser of two evils and kick the secondary CPUs into INIT
unless the system has installed special wakeup mechanisms which are not
using INIT.

x86/smp: Cure kexec() vs. mwait_play_dead() breakage

TLDR: It's a mess.

When kexec() is executed on a system with offline CPUs, which are parked in
mwait_play_dead() it can end up in a triple fault during the bootup of the
kexec kernel or cause hard to diagnose data corruption.

The reason is that kexec() eventually overwrites the previous kernel's text,
page tables, data and stack. If it writes to the cache line which is
monitored by a previously offlined CPU, MWAIT resumes execution and ends
up executing the wrong text, dereferencing overwritten page tables or
corrupting the kexec kernels data.

Cure this by bringing the offlined CPUs out of MWAIT into HLT.

Write to the monitored cache line of each offline CPU, which makes MWAIT
resume execution. The written control word tells the offlined CPUs to issue
HLT, which does not have the MWAIT problem.

That does not help, if a stray NMI, MCE or SMI hits the offlined CPUs as
those make it come out of HLT.

A follow up change will put them into INIT, which protects at least against
NMI and SMI.
