register_nmi_handler() has no sanity check whether a handler has been
registered already. Such an unintended double-add leads to list corruption
and hard to diagnose problems during the next NMI handling.
Init the list head in the static NMI action struct and check it for being
empty in register_nmi_handler().

In VMX, the host NMI handler needs to be invoked after NMI VM-Exit.
Before commit 1a5488ef0d ("KVM: VMX: Invoke NMI handler via indirect
call instead of INTn"), this was done by INTn ("int $2"). But INTn
microcode is relatively expensive, so the commit reworked NMI VM-Exit
handling to invoke the kernel handler by function call.
But this missed a detail. The NMI entry point for direct invocation is
fetched from the IDT table and called on the kernel stack. But on 64-bit
the NMI entry installed in the IDT expects to be invoked on the IST stack.
It relies on the "NMI executing" variable on the IST stack to work
correctly, which is at a fixed position in the IST stack. When the entry
point is unexpectedly called on the kernel stack, the RSP-addressed "NMI
executing" variable is obviously also on the kernel stack and is
"uninitialized" and can cause the NMI entry code to run in the wrong way.
Provide a non-ist entry point for VMX which shares the C-function with
the regular NMI entry and invoke the new asm entry point instead.
On 32-bit this just maps to the regular NMI entry point as 32-bit has no
ISTs and is not affected.

called SEV by also encrypting the guest register state, making the
registers inaccessible to the hypervisor by en-/decrypting them on world
switches. Thus, it adds additional protection to Linux guests against
exfiltration, control flow and rollback attacks.
With SEV-ES, the guest is in full control of what registers the
hypervisor can access. This is provided by a guest-host exchange
mechanism based on a new exception vector called VMM Communication
Exception (#VC), a new instruction called VMGEXIT and a shared
Guest-Host Communication Block which is a decrypted page shared between
the guest and the hypervisor.
Intercepts to the hypervisor become #VC exceptions in an SEV-ES guest so
in order for that exception mechanism to work, the early x86 init code
needed to be made able to handle exceptions, which, in itself, brings
a bunch of very nice cleanups and improvements to the early boot code
like an early page fault handler, allowing for on-demand building of the
identity mapping. With that, !KASLR configurations do not use the EFI
page table anymore but switch to a kernel-controlled one.
The main part of this series adds the support for that new exchange
mechanism. The goal has been to keep this as much as possibly
separate from the core x86 code by concentrating the machinery in two
SEV-ES-specific files:
arch/x86/kernel/sev-es-shared.c
arch/x86/kernel/sev-es.c
Other interaction with core x86 code has been kept at minimum and behind

For no reason other than beginning brainmelt, IDTENTRY_NMI was mapped to
IDTENTRY_IST.
This is not a problem on 64bit because the IST default entry point maps to
IDTENTRY_RAW which does not any entry handling. The surplus function
declaration for the noist C entry point is unused and as there is no ASM
code emitted for NMI this went unnoticed.
On 32bit IDTENTRY_IST maps to a regular IDTENTRY which does the normal
entry handling. That is clearly the wrong thing to do for NMI.
Map it to IDTENTRY_RAW to unbreak it. The IDTENTRY_NMI mapping needs to
stay to avoid emitting ASM code.

First, printk() is NMI-context safe now since the safe printk() has been
implemented and it already has an irq_work to make NMI-context safe.
Second, this NMI irq_work actually does not work if a NMI handler causes
panic by watchdog timeout. It has no chance to run in such case, while
the safe printk() will flush its per-cpu buffers before panicking.
While at it, repurpose the irq_work callback into a function which

In order to support IPI/NMI broadcasting via the shorthand mechanism side
effects of shorthands need to be mitigated:
Shorthand IPIs and NMIs hit all CPUs including unplugged CPUs
Neither of those can be handled on unplugged CPUs for obvious reasons.
It would be trivial to just fully disable the APIC via the enable bit in
MSR_APICBASE. But that's not possible because clearing that bit on systems
based on the 3 wire APIC bus would require a hardware reset to bring it
back as the APIC would lose track of bus arbitration. On systems with FSB
delivery APICBASE could be disabled, but it has to be guaranteed that no
interrupt is sent to the APIC while in that state and it's not clear from
the SDM whether it still responds to INIT/SIPI messages.
Therefore stay on the safe side and switch the APIC into soft disabled mode
so it won't deliver any regular vector to the CPU.
NMIs are still propagated to the 'dead' CPUs. To mitigate that add a check
for the CPU being offline on early nmi entry and if so bail.
Note, this cannot use the stop/restart_nmi() magic which is used in the
alternatives code. A dead CPU cannot invoke nmi_enter() or anything else
due to RCU and other reasons.

Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
"Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability
which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is
available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures
has the following CVEs assigned:
CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory
MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively
forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose
this data via cache side channels.
Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS
vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target
address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but
as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed
successfully.
The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to
user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW
instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks
exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection
requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by
default to avoid breaking unattended updates.
The mitigation set comes with documentation for administrators and a
deeper technical view"

The debug IST stack is actually two separate debug stacks to handle #DB
recursion. This is required because the CPU starts always at top of stack
on exception entry, which means on #DB recursion the second #DB would
overwrite the stack of the first.
The low level entry code therefore adjusts the top of stack on entry so a
secondary #DB starts from a different stack page. But the stack pages are
adjacent without a guard page between them.
Split the debug stack into 3 stacks which are separated by guard pages. The
3rd stack is never mapped into the cpu_entry_area and is only there to
catch triple #DB nesting:
--- top of DB_stack <- Initial stack
--- end of DB_stack
guard page
--- top of DB1_stack <- Top of stack after entering first #DB
--- end of DB1_stack
guard page
--- top of DB2_stack <- Top of stack after entering second #DB
--- end of DB2_stack
guard page
If DB2 would not act as the final guard hole, a second #DB would point the
top of #DB stack to the stack below #DB1 which would be valid and not catch
the not so desired triple nesting.
The backing store does not allocate any memory for DB2 and its guard page
as it is not going to be mapped into the cpu_entry_area.
- Adjust the low level entry code so it adjusts top of #DB with the offset
between the stacks instead of exception stack size.
- Make the dumpstack code aware of the new stacks.
- Adjust the in_debug_stack() implementation and move it into the NMI code
where it belongs. As this is NMI hotpath code, it just checks the full
area between top of DB_stack and bottom of DB1_stack without checking
for the guard page. That's correct because the NMI cannot hit a
stackpointer pointing to the guard page between DB and DB1 stack. Even
if it would, then the NMI operation still is unaffected, but the resume
of the debug exception on the topmost DB stack will crash by touching
the guard page.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

Apparently, some machines used to report DRAM errors through a PCI SERR
NMI. This is why we have a call into EDAC in the NMI handler. See
c0d1217202 ("drivers/edac: add new nmi rescan").
From looking at the patch above, that's two drivers: e752x_edac.c and
e7xxx_edac.c. Now, I wanna say those are old machines which are probably
decommissioned already.
Tony says that "[t]the newest CPU supported by either of those drivers
is the Xeon E7520 (a.k.a. "Nehalem") released in Q1'2010. Possibly some
folks are still using these ... but people that hold onto h/w for 7
years generally cling to old s/w too ... so I'd guess it unlikely that
we will get complaints for breaking these in upstream."
So even if there is a small number still in use, we did load EDAC with
edac_op_state == EDAC_OPSTATE_POLL by default (we still do, in fact)
which means a default EDAC setup without any parameters supplied on the
command line or otherwise would never even log the error in the NMI
handler because we're polling by default:
inline int edac_handler_set(void)
{
if (edac_op_state == EDAC_OPSTATE_POLL)
return 0;
return atomic_read(&edac_handlers);
}
So, long story short, I'd like to get rid of that nastiness called
edac_stub.c and confine all the EDAC drivers solely to drivers/edac/. If
we ever have to do stuff like that again, it should be notifiers we're
using and not some insanity like this one.

Remove the WARNING message associated with multiple NMI handlers as
there are at least two that are legitimate. These are the KGDB and the
UV handlers and both want to be called if the NMI has not been claimed
by any other NMI handler.
Use of the UNKNOWN NMI call chain dramatically lowers the NMI call rate
when high frequency NMI tools are in use, notably the perf tools. It is
required on systems that cannot sustain a high NMI call rate without
adversely affecting the system operation.

Now, multiple CPUs can receive an external NMI simultaneously by
specifying the "apic_extnmi=all" command line parameter. When we take
a crash dump by using external NMI with this option, we fail to save
registers into the crash dump. This happens as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
================================ =============================
receive an external NMI
default_do_nmi() receive an external NMI
spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock) default_do_nmi()
io_check_error() spin_lock(&nmi_reason_lock)
panic() busy loop
...
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
busy loop...
Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, an additional NMI from CPU 0
remains unhandled until CPU 1 IRETs. However, CPU 1 will never execute
IRET so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save
registers is never called.
To solve this issue, we check if the IPI for crash dumping was issued
while waiting for nmi_reason_lock to be released, and if so, call its
callback function directly. If the IPI is not issued (e.g. kdump is
disabled), the actual behavior doesn't change.

Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(),
sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them,
save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping.
However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to
save its register information into the crash dump.
For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all
CPUs as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
=========================== ==========================
receive an unknown NMI
unknown_nmi_error()
panic() receive an unknown NMI
spin_trylock(&panic_lock) unknown_nmi_error()
crash_kexec() panic()
spin_trylock(&panic_lock)
panic_smp_self_stop()
infinite loop
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
infinite loop...
Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is
blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET,
so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is
never called.
In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all
CPUs when the NMI button is pushed.
To save registers in this case, we need to:
a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely
or
b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop
Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted
data from being propagated to devices. So, we chose b).
This patch does the following:
1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI
context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to
enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is
still used for normal context.
2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save
registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which
is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback

If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is
recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire
panic_lock.
To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've
already entered panic().
For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In
the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU
already panicked.

OK, so what I'm actually seeing on my WSM is that sched/clock.c is
'broken' for the purpose we're using it for.
What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-(
[ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
[ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor
[ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]:
[ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
[ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.
This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.
While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.
So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
...
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990
So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!
Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.

8 NUMA nodes, and lots of cores that can fight over cachelines.
If things are not working _perfectly_, then NMIs can take longer
than expected.
If we get too many of them backed up to each other, we can
easily end up in a situation where we are doing nothing *but*
running NMIs. The biggest problem, though, is that this happens
_silently_. You might be lucky to get an hrtimer warning, but
most of the time system simply hangs.
This patch should at least give us some warning before we fall
off the cliff. the warnings look like this:
nmi_handle: perf_event_nmi_handler() took: 26095071 ns
The message is triggered whenever we notice the longest NMI
we've seen to date. You can always view and reset this value
via the debugfs interface if you like.

Avi Kivity reported that page faults in NMIs could cause havic if
the NMI preempted another page fault handler:
The recent changes to NMI allow exceptions to take place in NMI
handlers, but I think that a #PF (say, due to access to vmalloc space)
is still problematic. Consider the sequence
#PF (cr2 set by processor)
NMI
...
#PF (cr2 clobbered)
do_page_fault()
IRET
...
IRET
do_page_fault()
address = read_cr2()
The last line reads the overwritten cr2 value.
This is the i386 version, which has the luxury of doing the work
in C code.

I've been informed by someone on LWN called 'slashdot' that
some i386 machines do not support a true cmpxchg. The cmpxchg
used by the i386 NMI nesting code must be a true cmpxchg as
disabling interrupts will not work for NMIs (which is the work
around for i386s that do not have a true cmpxchg).
This 'slashdot' character also suggested a fix to the issue.
As the state of the nesting NMIs goes as follows:
NOT_RUNNING -> EXECUTING
EXECUTING -> NOT_RUNNING
EXECUTING -> LATCHED
LATCHED -> EXECUTING
Having these states as enum values of:
NOT_RUNNING = 0
EXECUTING = 1
LATCHED = 2
Instead of a cmpxchg to make EXECUTING -> NOT_RUNNING a
dec_and_test() would work as well. If the dec_and_test brings
the state to NOT_RUNNING, that is the same as a cmpxchg
succeeding to change EXECUTING to NOT_RUNNING. If a nested NMI
were to come in and change it to LATCHED, the dec_and_test() would
convert the state to EXECUTING (what we want it to be in such a
case anyway).
I asked 'slashdot' to post this as a patch, but it never came to
be. I decided to do the work instead.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting to use this_cpu_dec_and_return()
instead of local_dec_and_test(&__get_cpu_var()).
