2023-12-15x86/mce: Remove old CMCI storm mitigation codeTony Luck
When a "storm" of corrected machine check interrupts (CMCI) is detected this code mitigates by disabling CMCI interrupt signalling from all of the banks owned by the CPU that saw the storm. There are problems with this approach: 1) It is very coarse grained. In all likelihood only one of the banks was generating the interrupts, but CMCI is disabled for all. This means Linux may delay seeing and processing errors logged from other banks. 2) Although CMCI stands for Corrected Machine Check Interrupt, it is also used to signal when an uncorrected error is logged. This is a problem because these errors should be handled in a timely manner. Delete all this code in preparation for a finer grained solution.

2023-12-12x86/mce: Differentiate real hardware #MCs from TDX erratum onesKai Huang
The first few generations of TDX hardware have an erratum. Triggering it in Linux requires some kind of kernel bug involving relatively exotic memory writes to TDX private memory and will manifest via spurious-looking machine checks when reading the affected memory. Make an effort to detect these TDX-induced machine checks and spit out a new blurb to dmesg so folks do not think their hardware is failing. == Background == Virtually all kernel memory accesses operations happen in full cachelines. In practice, writing a "byte" of memory usually reads a 64 byte cacheline of memory, modifies it, then writes the whole line back. Those operations do not trigger this problem. This problem is triggered by "partial" writes where a write transaction of less than cacheline lands at the memory controller. The CPU does these via non-temporal write instructions (like MOVNTI), or through UC/WC memory mappings. The issue can also be triggered away from the CPU by devices doing partial writes via DMA. == Problem == A partial write to a TDX private memory cacheline will silently "poison" the line. Subsequent reads will consume the poison and generate a machine check. According to the TDX hardware spec, neither of these things should have happened. To add insult to injury, the Linux machine code will present these as a literal "Hardware error" when they were, in fact, a software-triggered issue. == Solution == In the end, this issue is hard to trigger. Rather than do something rash (and incomplete) like unmap TDX private memory from the direct map, improve the machine check handler. Currently, the #MC handler doesn't distinguish whether the memory is TDX private memory or not but just dump, for instance, below message: [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 147: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134 [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffadb69870> {__tlb_remove_page_size+0x10/0xa0} ... [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel [...] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check Which says "Hardware Error" and "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel". Ideally, it's better for the log to say "software bug around TDX private memory" instead of "Hardware Error". But in reality the real hardware memory error can happen, and sadly such software-triggered #MC cannot be distinguished from the real hardware error. Also, the error message is used by userspace tool 'mcelog' to parse, so changing the output may break userspace. So keep the "Hardware Error". The "Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel" is also helpful, so keep it too. Instead of modifying above error log, improve the error log by printing additional TDX related message to make the log like: ... [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel [...] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine Check: TDX private memory error. Possible kernel bug. Adding this additional message requires determination of whether the memory page is TDX private memory. There is no existing infrastructure to do that. Add an interface to query the TDX module to fill this gap. == Impact == This issue requires some kind of kernel bug to trigger. TDX private memory should never be mapped UC/WC. A partial write originating from these mappings would require *two* bugs, first mapping the wrong page, then writing the wrong memory. It would also be detectable using traditional memory corruption techniques like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. MOVNTI (and friends) could cause this issue with something like a simple buffer overrun or use-after-free on the direct map. It should also be detectable with normal debug techniques. The one place where this might get nasty would be if the CPU read data then wrote back the same data. That would trigger this problem but would not, for instance, set off mechanisms like slab redzoning because it doesn't actually corrupt data. With an IOMMU at least, the DMA exposure is similar to the UC/WC issue. TDX private memory would first need to be incorrectly mapped into the I/O space and then a later DMA to that mapping would actually cause the poisoning event.

2023-12-08x86/virt/tdx: Detect TDX during kernel bootKai Huang
Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) protects guest VMs from malicious host and certain physical attacks. A CPU-attested software module called 'the TDX module' runs inside a new isolated memory range as a trusted hypervisor to manage and run protected VMs. Pre-TDX Intel hardware has support for a memory encryption architecture called MKTME. The memory encryption hardware underpinning MKTME is also used for Intel TDX. TDX ends up "stealing" some of the physical address space from the MKTME architecture for crypto-protection to VMs. The BIOS is responsible for partitioning the "KeyID" space between legacy MKTME and TDX. The KeyIDs reserved for TDX are called 'TDX private KeyIDs' or 'TDX KeyIDs' for short. During machine boot, TDX microcode verifies that the BIOS programmed TDX private KeyIDs consistently and correctly programmed across all CPU packages. The MSRs are locked in this state after verification. This is why MSR_IA32_MKTME_KEYID_PARTITIONING gets used for TDX enumeration: it indicates not just that the hardware supports TDX, but that all the boot-time security checks passed. The TDX module is expected to be loaded by the BIOS when it enables TDX, but the kernel needs to properly initialize it before it can be used to create and run any TDX guests. The TDX module will be initialized by the KVM subsystem when KVM wants to use TDX. Detect platform TDX support by detecting TDX private KeyIDs. The TDX module itself requires one TDX KeyID as the 'TDX global KeyID' to protect its metadata. Each TDX guest also needs a TDX KeyID for its own protection. Just use the first TDX KeyID as the global KeyID and leave the rest for TDX guests. If no TDX KeyID is left for TDX guests, disable TDX as initializing the TDX module alone is useless.

2023-12-02x86/CPU/AMD: Check vendor in the AMD microcode callbackBorislav Petkov (AMD)
Commit in Fixes added an AMD-specific microcode callback. However, it didn't check the CPU vendor the kernel runs on explicitly. The only reason the Zenbleed check in it didn't run on other x86 vendors hardware was pure coincidental luck: if (!cpu_has_amd_erratum(c, amd_zenbleed)) return; gives true on other vendors because they don't have those families and models. However, with the removal of the cpu_has_amd_erratum() in 05f5f73936fa ("x86/CPU/AMD: Drop now unused CPU erratum checking function") that coincidental condition is gone, leading to the zenbleed check getting executed on other vendors too.

2023-11-22x86/mce/inject: Clear test status valueYazen Ghannam
AMD systems generally allow MCA "simulation" where MCA registers can be written with valid data and the full MCA handling flow can be tested by software. However, the platform on Scalable MCA systems, can prevent software from writing data to the MCA registers. There is no architectural way to determine this configuration. Therefore, the MCE injection module will check for this behavior by writing and reading back a test status value. This is done during module init, and the check can run on any CPU with any valid MCA bank. If MCA_STATUS writes are ignored by the platform, then there are no side effects on the hardware state. If the writes are not ignored, then the test status value will remain in the hardware MCA_STATUS register. It is likely that the value will not be overwritten by hardware or software, since the tested CPU and bank are arbitrary. Therefore, the user may see a spurious, synthetic MCA error reported whenever MCA is polled for this CPU. Clear the test value immediately after writing it. It is very unlikely that a valid MCA error is logged by hardware during the test. Errors that cause an #MC won't be affected.

2023-11-21x86/microcode: Rework early revisions reportingBorislav Petkov (AMD)
The AMD side of the loader issues the microcode revision for each logical thread on the system, which can become really noisy on huge machines. And doing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the microcode revision is already in /proc/cpuinfo. So in case one is interested in the theoretical support of mixed silicon steppings on AMD, one can check there. What is also missing on the AMD side - something which people have requested before - is showing the microcode revision the CPU had *before* the early update. So abstract that up in the main code and have the BSP on each vendor provide those revision numbers. Then, dump them only once on driver init. On Intel, do not dump the patch date - it is not needed.

2023-11-13x86/barrier: Do not serialize MSR accesses on AMDBorislav Petkov (AMD)
AMD does not have the requirement for a synchronization barrier when acccessing a certain group of MSRs. Do not incur that unnecessary penalty there. There will be a CPUID bit which explicitly states that a MFENCE is not needed. Once that bit is added to the APM, this will be extended with it. While at it, move to processor.h to avoid include hell. Untangling that file properly is a matter for another day. Some notes on the performance aspect of why this is relevant, courtesy of Kishon VijayAbraham <Kishon.VijayAbraham@amd.com>: On a AMD Zen4 system with 96 cores, a modified ipi-bench[1] on a VM shows x2AVIC IPI rate is 3% to 4% lower than AVIC IPI rate. The ipi-bench is modified so that the IPIs are sent between two vCPUs in the same CCX. This also requires to pin the vCPU to a physical core to prevent any latencies. This simulates the use case of pinning vCPUs to the thread of a single CCX to avoid interrupt IPI latency. In order to avoid run-to-run variance (for both x2AVIC and AVIC), the below configurations are done: 1) Disable Power States in BIOS (to prevent the system from going to lower power state) 2) Run the system at fixed frequency 2500MHz (to prevent the system from increasing the frequency when the load is more) With the above configuration: *) Performance measured using ipi-bench for AVIC: Average Latency: 1124.98ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU] Cumulative throughput: 42.6759M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from 48 vCPUs simultaneously] *) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC: Average Latency: 1172.42ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU] Cumulative throughput: 40.9432M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from 48 vCPUs simultaneously] From above, x2AVIC latency is ~4% more than AVIC. However, the expectation is x2AVIC performance to be better or equivalent to AVIC. Upon analyzing the perf captures, it is observed significant time is spent in weak_wrmsr_fence() invoked by x2apic_send_IPI(). With the fix to skip weak_wrmsr_fence() *) Performance measured using ipi-bench for x2AVIC: Average Latency: 1117.44ns [Time to send IPI from one vCPU to another vCPU] Cumulative throughput: 42.9608M/s [Total number of IPIs sent in a second from 48 vCPUs simultaneously] Comparing the performance of x2AVIC with and without the fix, it can be seen the performance improves by ~4%. Performance captured using an unmodified ipi-bench using the 'mesh-ipi' option with and without weak_wrmsr_fence() on a Zen4 system also showed significant performance improvement without weak_wrmsr_fence(). The 'mesh-ipi' option ignores CCX or CCD and just picks random vCPU.

2023-11-13x86/mce: Mark fatal MCE's page as poison to avoid panic in the kdump kernelZhiquan Li
Memory errors don't happen very often, especially fatal ones. However, in large-scale scenarios such as data centers, that probability increases with the amount of machines present. When a fatal machine check happens, mce_panic() is called based on the severity grading of that error. The page containing the error is not marked as poison. However, when kexec is enabled, tools like makedumpfile understand when pages are marked as poison and do not touch them so as not to cause a fatal machine check exception again while dumping the previous kernel's memory. Therefore, mark the page containing the error as poisoned so that the kexec'ed kernel can avoid accessing the page.

The newer models have the topology CPUID leaf 0xB correctly implemented and are not affected. - Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures SMT control was added to allow controlling SMT at boottime or runtime. The primary purpose was to provide a simple mechanism to disable SMT in the light of speculation attack vectors. It turned out that the code is sensible to enumeration failures and worked only by chance for XEN/PV. XEN/PV has no real APIC enumeration which means the primary thread mask is not set up correctly. By chance a XEN/PV boot ends up with smp_num_siblings == 2, which makes the hotplug control stay at its default value "enabled". So the mask is never evaluated. The ongoing rework of the topology evaluation caused XEN/PV to end up with smp_num_siblings == 1, which sets the SMT control to "not supported" and the empty primary thread mask causes the hotplug core to deny the bringup of the APS. Make the decision logic more robust and take 'not supported' and 'not implemented' into account for the decision whether a CPU should be booted or not. - Fake primary thread mask for XEN/PV Pretend that all XEN/PV vCPUs are primary threads, which makes the usage of the primary thread mask valid on XEN/PV.

2023-10-24x86/microcode/intel: Add a minimum required revision for late loadingAshok Raj
In general users, don't have the necessary information to determine whether late loading of a new microcode version is safe and does not modify anything which the currently running kernel uses already, e.g. removal of CPUID bits or behavioural changes of MSRs. To address this issue, Intel has added a "minimum required version" field to a previously reserved field in the microcode header. Microcode updates should only be applied if the current microcode version is equal to, or greater than this minimum required version. Thomas made some suggestions on how meta-data in the microcode file could provide Linux with information to decide if the new microcode is suitable candidate for late loading. But even the "simpler" option requires a lot of metadata and corresponding kernel code to parse it, so the final suggestion was to add the 'minimum required version' field in the header. When microcode changes visible features, microcode will set the minimum required version to its own revision which prevents late loading. Old microcode blobs have the minimum revision field always set to 0, which indicates that there is no information and the kernel considers it unsafe. This is a pure OS software mechanism. The hardware/firmware ignores this header field. For early loading there is no restriction because OS visible features are enumerated after the early load and therefore a change has no effect. The check is always enabled, but by default not enforced. It can be enforced via Kconfig or kernel command line. If enforced, the kernel refuses to late load microcode with a minimum required version field which is zero or when the currently loaded microcode revision is smaller than the minimum required revision. If not enforced the load happens independent of the revision check to stay compatible with the existing behaviour, but it influences the decision whether the kernel is tainted or not. If the check signals that the late load is safe, then the kernel is not tainted. Early loading is not affected by this.

2023-10-24x86/microcode: Prepare for minimal revision checkThomas Gleixner
Applying microcode late can be fatal for the running kernel when the update changes functionality which is in use already in a non-compatible way, e.g. by removing a CPUID bit. There is no way for admins which do not have access to the vendors deep technical support to decide whether late loading of such a microcode is safe or not. Intel has added a new field to the microcode header which tells the minimal microcode revision which is required to be active in the CPU in order to be safe. Provide infrastructure for handling this in the core code and a command line switch which allows to enforce it. If the update is considered safe the kernel is not tainted and the annoying warning message not emitted. If it's enforced and the currently loaded microcode revision is not safe for late loading then the load is aborted.

Currently, offline CPUs are parked in mwait_play_dead(), and for Intel CPUs, its not a safe instruction, because the MWAIT instruction can be patched in the new microcode update that can cause instability. - Add a new microcode state 'UCODE_OFFLINE' to report status on per-CPU basis. - Force NMI on the offline CPUs.

2023-10-24x86/microcode: Rendezvous and load in NMIThomas Gleixner
stop_machine() does not prevent the spin-waiting sibling from handling an NMI, which is obviously violating the whole concept of rendezvous. Implement a static branch right in the beginning of the NMI handler which is nopped out except when enabled by the late loading mechanism. The late loader enables the static branch before stop_machine() is invoked. Each CPU has an nmi_enable in its control structure which indicates whether the CPU should go into the update routine. This is required to bridge the gap between enabling the branch and actually being at the point where it is required to enter the loader wait loop. Each CPU which arrives in the stopper thread function sets that flag and issues a self NMI right after that. If the NMI function sees the flag clear, it returns. If it's set it clears the flag and enters the rendezvous. This is safe against a real NMI which hits in between setting the flag and sending the NMI to itself. The real NMI will be swallowed by the microcode update and the self NMI will then let stuff continue. Otherwise this would end up with a spurious NMI.

2023-10-24x86/microcode: Add per CPU control fieldThomas Gleixner
Add a per CPU control field to ucode_ctrl and define constants for it which are going to be used to control the loading state machine. In theory this could be a global control field, but a global control does not cover the following case: 15 primary CPUs load microcode successfully 1 primary CPU fails and returns with an error code With global control the sibling of the failed CPU would either try again or the whole operation would be aborted with the consequence that the 15 siblings do not invoke the apply path and end up with inconsistent software state. The result in dmesg would be inconsistent too. There are two additional fields added and initialized: ctrl_cpu and secondaries. ctrl_cpu is the CPU number of the primary thread for now, but with the upcoming uniform loading at package or system scope this will be one CPU per package or just one CPU. Secondaries hands the control CPU a CPU mask which will be required to release the secondary CPUs out of the wait loop.
