On modern CPUs it is quite normal that the temperature limits are
reached and the CPU is throttled. In fact, often the thermal design is
not sufficient to cool the CPU at full load and limits can quickly be
reached when a burst in load happens. This will even happen with
technologies like RAPL limitting the long term power consumption of
the package.
Also, these limits are "softer", as Srinivas explains:
"CPU temperature doesn't have to hit max(TjMax) to get these warnings.
OEMs ha[ve] an ability to program a threshold where a thermal interrupt
can be generated. In some systems the offset is 20C+ (Read only value).
In recent systems, there is another offset on top of it which can be
programmed by OS, once some agent can adjust power limits dynamically.
By default this is set to low by the firmware, which I guess the
prime motivation of Benjamin to submit the patch."
So these messages do not usually indicate a hardware issue (e.g.
insufficient cooling). Log them as warnings to avoid confusion about
their severity.

UMWAIT and TPAUSE instructions use 32bit IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL at MSR index
E1H to determines the maximum time in TSC-quanta that the processor can
reside in either C0.1 or C0.2.
This patch emulates MSR IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL in guest and differentiate
IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL between host and guest. The variable
mwait_control_cached in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/umwait.c caches the MSR value,
so this patch uses it to avoid frequently rdmsr of IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL.

Pull core timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Timers and timekeeping updates:
- A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
properly accounted on the task/process.
An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.
- Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.
- Updates to various clocksource/clockevent drivers and their device
tree bindings.
- The usual small improvements all over the place"

Pull x86 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Cleanup the apic IPI implementation by removing duplicated code and
consolidating the functions into the APIC core.
- Implement a safe variant of the IPI broadcast mode. Contrary to
earlier attempts this uses the core tracking of which CPUs have been
brought online at least once so that a broadcast does not end up in
some dead end in BIOS/SMM code when the CPU is still waiting for
init. Once all CPUs have been brought up once, IPI broadcasting is
enabled. Before that regular one by one IPIs are issued.
- Drop the paravirt CR8 related functions as they have no user anymore
- Initialize the APIC TPR to block interrupt 16-31 as they are reserved
for CPU exceptions and should never be raised by any well behaving
device.
- Emit a warning when vector space exhaustion breaks the admin set
affinity of an interrupt.
- Make sure to use the NMI fallback when shutdown via reboot vector IPI
fails. The original code had conditions which prevent the code path
to be reached.

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.
However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:
commit 32e45ff43e ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")
the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.
Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10
where 2 hops is 32.
The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.
For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4
(CPUs 32-39) like so,
$ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16
causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active
balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads
to node 4.
Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.

Hyper-V guests use the default native_sched_clock() in
pv_ops.time.sched_clock on x86. But native_sched_clock() directly uses the
raw TSC value, which can be discontinuous in a Hyper-V VM.
Add the generic hv_setup_sched_clock() to set the sched clock function
appropriately. On x86, this sets pv_ops.time.sched_clock to read the
Hyper-V reference TSC value that is scaled and adjusted to be continuous.
Also move the Hyper-V reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot
process so no discontinuity is observed when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
calculates its offset.

Currently, failure of cpuhp_setup_state() is ignored and the syscore ops
and the control interfaces can still be added even after the failure. But,
this error handling will cause a few issues:
1. The CPUs may have different values in the IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL
MSR because there is no way to roll back the control MSR on
the CPUs which already set the MSR before the failure.
2. If the sysfs interface is added successfully, there will be a mismatch
between the global control value and the control MSR:
- The interface shows the default global control value. But,
the control MSR is not set to the value because the CPU online
function, which is supposed to set the MSR to the value,
is not installed.
- If the sysadmin changes the global control value through
the interface, the control MSR on all current online CPUs is
set to the new value. But, the control MSR on newly onlined CPUs
after the value change will not be set to the new value due to
lack of the CPU online function.
3. On resume from suspend/hibernation, the boot CPU restores the control
MSR to the global control value through the syscore ops. But, the
control MSR on all APs is not set due to lake of the CPU online
function.
To solve the issues and enforce consistent behavior on the failure
of the CPU hotplug setup, make the following changes:
1. Cache the original control MSR value which is configured by
hardware or BIOS before kernel boot. This value is likely to
be 0. But it could be a different number as well. Cache the
control MSR only once before the MSR is changed.
2. Add the CPU offline function so that the MSR is restored to the
original control value on all CPUs on the failure.
3. On the failure, exit from cpumait_init() so that the syscore ops
and the control interfaces are not added.

We currently do not process SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional)
machine checks if they are logged with the overflow bit set to 1 in the
machine check bank status register. This is overly conservative.
There are two cases where we could end up with an SRAO+OVER log based
on the SDM volume 3 overwrite rules in "Table 15-8. Overwrite Rules for
UC, CE, and UCR Errors"
1) First a corrected error is logged, then the SRAO error overwrites.
The second error overwrites the first because uncorrected errors
have a higher severity than corrected errors.
2) The SRAO error was logged first, followed by a correcetd error.
In this case the first error is retained in the bank.
So in either case the machine check bank will contain the address
of the SRAO error. So we can process that even if the overflow bit
was set.

Intel provided the following information:
On all current Atom processors, instructions that use a segment register
value (e.g. a load or store) will not speculatively execute before the
last writer of that segment retires. Thus they will not use a
speculatively written segment value.
That means on ATOMs there is no speculation through SWAPGS, so the SWAPGS
entry paths can be excluded from the extra LFENCE if PTI is disabled.
Create a separate bug flag for the through SWAPGS speculation and mark all
out-of-order ATOMs and AMD/HYGON CPUs as not affected. The in-order ATOMs

The IPI shorthand functionality delivers IPI/NMI broadcasts to all CPUs in
the system. This can have similar side effects as the MCE broadcasting when
CPUs are waiting in the BIOS or are offlined.
The kernel tracks already the state of offlined CPUs whether they have been
brought up at least once so that the CR4 MCE bit is set to make sure that
MCE broadcasts can't brick the machine.
Utilize that information and compare it to the cpu_present_mask. If all
present CPUs have been brought up at least once then the broadcast side
effect is mitigated by disabling regular interrupt/IPI delivery in the APIC
itself and by the cpu offline check at the begin of the NMI handler.
Use a static key to switch between broadcasting via shorthands or sending
the IPI/NMI one by one.

AMD and Intel both have serializing lfence (X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC).
They've both had it for a long time, and AMD has had it enabled in Linux
since Spectre v1 was announced.
Back then, there was a proposal to remove the serializing mfence feature
bit (X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC), since both AMD and Intel have
serializing lfence. At the time, it was (ahem) speculated that some
hypervisors might not yet support its removal, so it remained for the
time being.
Now a year-and-a-half later, it should be safe to remove.
I asked Andrew Cooper about whether it's still needed:
So if you're virtualised, you've got no choice in the matter. lfence
is either dispatch-serialising or not on AMD, and you won't be able to
change it.
Furthermore, you can't accurately tell what state the bit is in, because
the MSR might not be virtualised at all, or may not reflect the true
state in hardware. Worse still, attempting to set the bit may not be
successful even if there isn't a fault for doing so.
Xen sets the DE_CFG bit unconditionally, as does Linux by the looks of
things (see MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT). ISTR other hypervisor
vendors saying the same, but I don't have any information to hand.
If you are running under a hypervisor which has been updated, then
lfence will almost certainly be dispatch-serialising in practice, and
you'll almost certainly see the bit already set in DE_CFG. If you're
running under a hypervisor which hasn't been patched since Spectre,
you've already lost in many more ways.
I'd argue that X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC is not worth keeping.
So remove it. This will reduce some code rot, and also make it easier
to hook barrier_nospec() up to a cmdline disable for performance
raisins, without having to need an alternative_3() macro.

In virtualization environment, PV extensions (drivers, interrupts,
timers, etc) are enabled in the majority of use cases which is the
best option.
However, in some cases (kexec not fully working, benchmarking)
we want to disable PV extensions. We have "xen_nopv" for that purpose
but only for XEN. For a consistent admin experience a common command
line parameter "nopv" set across all PV guest implementations is a
better choice.
There are guest types which just won't work without PV extensions,
like Xen PV, Xen PVH and jailhouse. add a "ignore_nopv" member to
struct hypervisor_x86 set to true for those guest types and call
the detect functions only if nopv is false or ignore_nopv is true.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A collection of assorted fixes:
- Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
key which the module loader tried to update.
- Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.
- Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.
- Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
relocation: _etext'
- Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
patching.
- Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
operation by converting the operand to an ULL.
- Adjust the misnamed ENDPROC() of common_spurious in the 32bit entry
code"
