CMCI banks are not cleared during shutdown on Intel CPUs. As a side effect,
when a kexec is performed, CPUs coming back online are unable to
rediscover/claim these occupied banks which breaks MCE reporting.
Clear the CPU ownership during shutdown via cmci_clear() so the banks can
be reclaimed and MCE reporting will become functional once more.

The MCA threshold limit must be reset after servicing the interrupt.
Currently, the restart function doesn't have an explicit check for this. It
makes some assumptions based on the current limit and what's in the registers.
These assumptions don't always hold, so the limit won't be reset in some
cases.
Make the reset condition explicit. Either an interrupt/overflow has occurred
or the bank is being initialized.

Ensure that sysfs init doesn't fail for new/unrecognized bank types or if
a bank has additional blocks available.
Most MCA banks have a single thresholding block, so the block takes the same
name as the bank.
Unified Memory Controllers (UMCs) are a special case where there are two
blocks and each has a unique name.
However, the microarchitecture allows for five blocks. Any new MCA bank types
with more than one block will be missing names for the extra blocks. The MCE
sysfs will fail to initialize in this case.

Users can disable MCA polling by setting the "ignore_ce" parameter or by
setting "check_interval=0". This tells the kernel to *not* start the MCE
timer on a CPU.
If the user did not disable CMCI, then storms can occur. When these
happen, the MCE timer will be started with a fixed interval. After the
storm subsides, the timer's next interval is set to check_interval.
This disregards the user's input through "ignore_ce" and
"check_interval". Furthermore, if "check_interval=0", then the new timer
will run faster than expected.
Create a new helper to check these conditions and use it when a CMCI
storm ends.

Currently, the MCE subsystem sysfs interface will be removed if the
thresholding sysfs interface fails to be created. A common failure is due to
new MCA bank types that are not recognized and don't have a short name set.
The MCA thresholding feature is optional and should not break the common MCE
sysfs interface. Also, new MCA bank types are occasionally introduced, and
updates will be needed to recognize them. But likewise, this should not break
the common sysfs interface.
Keep the MCE sysfs interface regardless of the status of the thresholding
sysfs interface.

__rdmsr() is the lowest level MSR write API, with native_rdmsr()
and native_rdmsrq() serving as higher-level wrappers around it.
#define native_rdmsr(msr, val1, val2) \
do { \
u64 __val = __rdmsr((msr)); \
(void)((val1) = (u32)__val); \
(void)((val2) = (u32)(__val >> 32)); \
} while (0)
static __always_inline u64 native_rdmsrq(u32 msr)
{
return __rdmsr(msr);
}
However, __rdmsr() continues to be utilized in various locations.
MSR APIs are designed for different scenarios, such as native or
pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe. Unfortunately,
the current MSR API names do not adequately reflect these factors,
making it challenging to select the most appropriate API for
various situations.
To pave the way for improving MSR API names, convert __rdmsr()
uses to native_rdmsrq() to ensure consistent usage. Later, these
APIs can be renamed to better reflect their implications, such as
native or pvops, with or without trace, and safe or non-safe.
No functional change intended.

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the
<asm/msr.h> header, even though there's an <asm/tsc.h> header.
To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from <asm/msr.h>
to <asm/tsc.h> and to eventually eliminate the inclusion of
<asm/msr.h> in <asm/tsc.h>, add an explicit <asm/msr.h> dependency
to the source files that reference definitions from <asm/msr.h>.

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.

Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been
deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.

Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No
runtime effects are anticipated.

from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in
the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.

filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering
by huge page sizes.

Patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling",
v4.
## 1. What am I trying to do:
This patchset resolves two critical regressions related to memory failure
handling that have appeared in the upstream kernel since version 5.17, as
compared to 5.10 LTS.
- copyin case: poison found in user page while kernel copying from user space
- instr case: poison found while instruction fetching in user space
## 2. What is the expected outcome and why
- For copyin case:
Kernel can recover from poison found where kernel is doing get_user() or
copy_from_user() if those places get an error return and the kernel return
-EFAULT to the process instead of crashing. More specifily, MCE handler
checks the fixup handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC can be
recovered. When EX_TYPE_UACCESS is found, the PC jumps to recovery code
specified in _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() and return a -EFAULT to user space.
- For instr case:
If a poison found while instruction fetching in user space, full recovery
is possible. User process takes #PF, Linux allocates a new page and fills
by reading from storage.
## 3. What actually happens and why
- For copyin case: kernel panic since v5.17
Commit 4c132d1d84 ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and later patches updated the
extable fixup type for copy-from-user operations, changing it from
EX_TYPE_UACCESS to EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. It breaks previous EX_TYPE_UACCESS
handling when posion found in get_user() or copy_from_user().
- For instr case: user process is killed by a SIGBUS signal due to #CMCI
and #MCE race
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.
### Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]
Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that
detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a
broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action
Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because
it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that
bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE
interrupts and finally become an IERR.
Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub
from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to
#CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in
uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA*
signature name.
### Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in
Intel platform [1]
Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors,
the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is
executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference
between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if
an error is found in any read.
Thus:
1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a
speculative read.
2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read
request
3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the
core that will soon try to retire the load from address A.
Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory
controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction
reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page
(marking it as poison).
## Why user process is killed for instr case
Commit 046545a661 ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported
"not recovered"") tries to fix noise message "Memory error not recovered"
and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race. But it also introduced a bug
that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result,
kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process.
# 4. The fix, in my opinion, should be:
- For copyin case:
The key point is whether the error context is in a read from user memory.
We do not care about the ex-type if we know its a MOV reading from
userspace.
is_copy_from_user() return true when both of the following two checks are
true:
- the current instruction is copy
- source address is user memory
If copy_user is true, we set
m->kflags |= MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN | MCE_IN_KERNEL_RECOV;
Then do_machine_check() will try fixup_exception() first.
- For instr case: let kill_accessing_process() return 0 to prevent a SIGBUS.
- For patch 3:
The return value of memory_failure() is quite important while discussed
instr case regression with Tony and Miaohe for patch 2, so add comment
about the return value.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 4c132d1d84 ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and commit 4c132d1d84
("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") updated the extable fixup type for
copy-from-user operations, changing it from EX_TYPE_UACCESS to
EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. The error context for copy-from-user operations no
longer functions as an in-kernel recovery context. Consequently, the
error context for copy-from-user operations no longer functions as an
in-kernel recovery context, resulting in kernel panics with the message:
"Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel."
To address this, it is crucial to identify if an error context involves a
read operation from user memory. The function is_copy_from_user() can be
utilized to determine:
- the current operation is copy
- when reading user memory
When these conditions are met, is_copy_from_user() will return true,
confirming that it is indeed a direct copy from user memory. This check
is essential for correctly handling the context of errors in these
operations without relying on the extable fixup types that previously
allowed for in-kernel recovery.
So, use is_copy_from_user() to determine if a context is copy user directly.

The call to mce_notify_irq() has been there since the initial version of
the soft inject mce machinery, introduced in
ea149b36c7 ("x86, mce: add basic error injection infrastructure").
At that time it was functional since injecting an MCE resulted in the
following call chain:
raise_mce()
->machine_check_poll()
->mce_log() - sets notfiy_user_bit
->mce_notify_user() (current mce_notify_irq) consumed the bit and called the
usermode helper.
However, with the introduction of
011d826111 ("RAS: Add a Corrected Errors Collector")
the code got moved around and the usermode helper began to be called via the
early notifier mce_first_notifier() rendering the call in raise_local()
defunct as the mce_need_notify bit (ex notify_user) is only being set from the
early notifier.
Remove the noop call and make mce_notify_irq() static.
No functional changes.

Legacy AMD systems include an integrated Northbridge that is represented
by MCA bank 4. This is the only non-core MCA bank in legacy systems. The
Northbridge is physically shared by all the CPUs within an AMD "Node".
However, in practice the "shared" MCA bank can only by managed by a
single CPU within that AMD Node. This is known as the "Node Base Core"
(NBC). For example, only the NBC will be able to read the MCA bank 4
registers; they will be Read-as-Zero for other CPUs. Also, the MCA
Thresholding interrupt will only signal the NBC; the other CPUs will not
receive it. This is enforced by hardware, and it should not be managed by
software.
The current AMD Thresholding code attempts to deal with the "shared" MCA
bank by micromanaging the bank's sysfs kobjects. However, this does not
follow the intended kobject use cases. It is also fragile, and it has
caused bugs in the past.
Modern AMD systems do not need this shared MCA bank support, and it
should not be needed on legacy systems either.
Remove the shared threshold bank code. Also, move the threshold struct
definitions to mce/amd.c, since they are no longer needed in amd_nb.c.

The ACPI Boot Error Record Table (BERT) is being used by the kernel to report
errors that occurred in a previous boot. On some modern AMD systems, these
very errors within the BERT are reported through the x86 Common Platform Error
Record (CPER) format which consists of one or more Processor Context
Information Structures.
These context structures provide a starting address and represent an x86 MSR
range in which the data constitutes a contiguous set of MSRs starting from,
and including the starting address.
It's common, for AMD systems that implement this behavior, that the MSR range
represents the MCAX register space used for the Scalable MCA feature. The
apei_smca_report_x86_error() function decodes and passes this information
through the MCE notifier chain. However, this function assumes a fixed
register size based on the original HW/FW implementation.
This assumption breaks with the addition of two new MCAX registers viz.
MCA_SYND1 and MCA_SYND2. These registers are added at the end of the MCAX
register space, so they won't be included when decoding the CPER data.
Rework apei_smca_report_x86_error() to support a variable register array size.
This covers any case where the MSR context information starts at the MCAX
address for MCA_STATUS and ends at any other register within the MCAX register
space.

Starting with Zen4, AMD's Scalable MCA systems incorporate two new registers:
MCA_SYND1 and MCA_SYND2.
These registers will include supplemental error information in addition to the
existing MCA_SYND register. The data within these registers is considered
valid if MCA_STATUS[SyndV] is set.
Userspace error decoding tools like rasdaemon gather related hardware error
information through the tracepoints.
Therefore, export these two registers through the mce_record tracepoint so
that tools like rasdaemon can parse them and output the supplemental error
information like FRU text contained in them.

Currently, exporting new additional machine check error information
involves adding new fields for the same at the end of the struct mce.
This additional information can then be consumed through mcelog or
tracepoint.
However, as new MSRs are being added (and will be added in the future)
by CPU vendors on their newer CPUs with additional machine check error
information to be exported, the size of struct mce will balloon on some
CPUs, unnecessarily, since those fields are vendor-specific. Moreover,
different CPU vendors may export the additional information in varying
sizes.
The problem particularly intensifies since struct mce is exposed to
userspace as part of UAPI. It's bloating through vendor-specific data
should be avoided to limit the information being sent out to userspace.
Add a new structure mce_hw_err to wrap the existing struct mce. The same
will prevent its ballooning since vendor-specifc data, if any, can now be
exported through a union within the wrapper structure and through
__dynamic_array in mce_record tracepoint.
Furthermore, new internal kernel fields can be added to the wrapper
struct without impacting the user space API.

git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so

Current AMD systems can report MCA errors using the ACPI Boot Error
Record Table (BERT). The BERT entries for MCA errors will be an x86
Common Platform Error Record (CPER) with an MSR register context that
matches the MCAX/SMCA register space.
However, the BERT will not necessarily be processed on the CPU that
reported the MCA errors. Therefore, the correct CPU number needs to be
determined and the information saved in struct mce.
Use the newly defined mce_prep_record_*() helpers to get the correct
data.
Also, add an explicit check to verify that a valid CPU number was found
from the APIC ID search.

Generally, MCA information for an error is gathered on the CPU that
reported the error. In this case, CPU-specific information from the
running CPU will be correct.
However, this will be incorrect if the MCA information is gathered while
running on a CPU that didn't report the error. One example is creating
an MCA record using mce_prep_record() for errors reported from ACPI.
Split mce_prep_record() so that there is a helper function to gather
common, i.e. not CPU-specific, information and another helper for
CPU-specific information.
Leave mce_prep_record() defined as-is for the common case when running
on the reporting CPU.
Get MCG_CAP in the global helper even though the register is per-CPU.
This value is not already cached per-CPU like other values. And it does
not assist with any per-CPU decoding or handling.

There is no MCE "setup" done in mce_setup(). Rather, this function initializes
and prepares an MCE record.

The MCA_MISC register is used to control the MCA thresholding feature on
AMD systems. Therefore, it is not generally part of the error state that
a user would adjust when testing non-thresholding cases.
However, MCA_MISC is unconditionally written even if a user does not
supply a value. The default value of '0' will be used and clobber the
register.
Write the MCA_MISC register only if the user has given a value for it.

Machine check SMIs (MSMI) signaled during SEAM operation (typically
inside TDX guests), on a system with Intel eMCA enabled, might eventually
be reported to the kernel #MC handler with the saved RIP on the stack
pointing to the instruction in kernel code after the SEAMCALL instruction
that entered the SEAM operation. Linux currently says that is a fatal
error and shuts down.
There is a new bit in IA32_MCG_STATUS that, when set to 1, indicates
that the machine check didn't originally occur at that saved RIP, but
during SEAM non-root operation.
Add new entries to the severity table to detect this for both data load
and instruction fetch that set the severity to "AR" (action required).
Increase the width of the mcgmask/mcgres fields in "struct severity"
from unsigned char to unsigned short since the new bit is in position 12.
Action required for these errors is just mark the page as poisoned and
return from the machine check handler.
HW ABI notes:
=============
The SEAM_NR bit in IA32_MCG_STATUS hasn't yet made it into the Intel
Software Developers' Manual. But it is described in section 16.5.2
of "Intel(R) Trust Domain Extensions (Intel(R) TDX) Module Base
Architecture Specification" downloadable from:
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/733575
Backport notes:
===============
Little value in backporting this patch to stable or LTS kernels as
this is only relevant with support for TDX, which I assume won't be
backported. But for anyone taking this to v6.1 or older, you also
need commit:

sysfs nodes by writing the new bit mask of events to enable.
When the write is accepted, the kernel deletes all current timers and
reinits all banks.
Doing that in parallel can lead to initializing a timer which is already
armed and in the timer wheel, i.e., in use already:
ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888063a28000 object

Fix that by grabbing the sysfs mutex as the rest of the MCA sysfs code
does.
