Rename mce_severity() to mce_severity_intel() and assign the
mce_severity function pointer to mce_severity_amd() during init on AMD.
This way, we can avoid a test to call mce_severity_amd every time we get
into mce_severity(). And it's cleaner to do it this way.

Add a severities function that caters to AMD processors. This allows us
to do some vendor-specific work within the function if necessary.
Also, introduce a vendor flag bitfield for vendor-specific settings. The
severities code uses this to define error scope based on the prescence
of the flags field.
This is based off of work by Boris Petkov.

Certain MSRs are only relevant to a kernel in host mode, and kvm had
chosen not to implement these MSRs at all for guests. If a guest kernel
ever tried to access these MSRs, the result was a general protection
fault.
KVM will be separately patched to return 0 when these MSRs are read,
and this patch ensures that MSR accesses are tolerant of exceptions.

Initially, this started with the yet another report about a race
condition in the CMCI storm adaptive period length thing. Yes, we have
to admit, it is fragile and error prone. So let's simplify it.
The simpler logic is: now, after we enter storm mode, we go straight to
polling with CMCI_STORM_INTERVAL, i.e. once a second. We remain in storm
mode as long as we see errors being logged while polling.
Theoretically, if we see an uninterrupted error stream, we will remain
in storm mode indefinitely and keep polling the MSRs.
However, when the storm is actually a burst of errors, once we have
logged them all, we back out of it after ~5 mins of polling and no more
errors logged.
If we encounter an error during those 5 minutes, we reset the polling
interval to 5 mins.
Making machine_check_poll() return a bool and denoting whether it has
seen an error or not lets us simplify a bunch of code and move the storm
handling private to mce_intel.c.
Some minor cleanups while at it.

that RDPMC access is only allowed if a perf event is mmap-ed (which is
needed to correctly interpret RDPMC counter values in any case).
As a side effect of these changes CR4 handling is cleaned up in the

I'm getting complaints from validation teams that have updated their
Linux kernels from ancient versions to current. They don't see the
error logs they expect. I tell the to unload any EDAC drivers[1], and
things start working again. The problem is that we short-circuit
the logging process if any function on the decoder chain claims to
have dealt with the problem:
ret = atomic_notifier_call_chain(&x86_mce_decoder_chain, 0, m);
if (ret == NOTIFY_STOP)
return;
The logic we used when we added this code was that we did not want
to confuse users with double reports of the same error.
But it turns out users are not confused - they are upset that they
don't see a log where their tools used to find a log.
I could also get into a long description of how the consumer of this
log does more than just decode model specific details of the error.
It keeps counts, tracks thresholds, takes actions and runs scripts
that can alert administrators to problems.
[1] We've recently compounded the problem because the acpi_extlog
driver also registers for this notifier and also returns NOTIFY_STOP.

CR4 manipulation was split, seemingly at random, between direct
(write_cr4) and using a helper (set/clear_in_cr4). Unfortunately,
the set_in_cr4 and clear_in_cr4 helpers also poke at the boot code,
which only a small subset of users actually wanted.
This patch replaces all cr4 access in functions that don't leave cr4
exactly the way they found it with new helpers cr4_set_bits,
cr4_clear_bits, and cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot.

We currently pretend that IST context is like standard exception
context, but this is incorrect. IST entries from userspace are like
standard exceptions except that they use per-cpu stacks, so they are
atomic. IST entries from kernel space are like NMIs from RCU's
perspective -- they are not quiescent states even if they
interrupted the kernel during a quiescent state.
Add and use ist_enter and ist_exit to track IST context. Even
though x86_32 has no IST stacks, we track these interrupts the same
way.
This fixes two issues:
- Scheduling from an IST interrupt handler will now warn. It would
previously appear to work as long as we got lucky and nothing
overwrote the stack frame. (I don't know of any bugs in this
that would trigger the warning, but it's good to be on the safe
side.)
- RCU handling in IST context was dangerous. As far as I know,
only machine checks were likely to trigger this, but it's good to
be on the safe side.
Note that the machine check handlers appears to have been missing
any context tracking at all before this patch.

Uncorrected no action required (UCNA) - is a uncorrected recoverable
machine check error that is not signaled via a machine check exception
and, instead, is reported to system software as a corrected machine
check error. UCNA errors indicate that some data in the system is
corrupted, but the data has not been consumed and the processor state
is valid and you may continue execution on this processor. UCNA errors
require no action from system software to continue execution. Note that
UCNA errors are supported by the processor only when IA32_MCG_CAP[24]
(MCG_SER_P) is set.
-- Intel SDM Volume 3B
Deferred errors are errors that cannot be corrected by hardware, but
do not cause an immediate interruption in program flow, loss of data
integrity, or corruption of processor state. These errors indicate
that data has been corrupted but not consumed. Hardware writes information
to the status and address registers in the corresponding bank that
identifies the source of the error if deferred errors are enabled for
logging. Deferred errors are not reported via machine check exceptions;
they can be seen by polling the MCi_STATUS registers.
-- AMD64 APM Volume 2
Above two items, both UCNA and Deferred errors belong to detected
errors, but they can't be corrected by hardware, and this is very
similar to Software Recoverable Action Optional (SRAO) errors.
Therefore, we can take some actions that have been used for handling
SRAO errors to handle UCNA and Deferred errors.

Until now, the mce_severity mechanism can only identify the severity
of UCNA error as MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY. Meanwhile, it is not able to filter
out DEFERRED error for AMD platform.
This patch extends the mce_severity mechanism for handling
UCNA/DEFERRED error. In order to do this, the patch introduces a new
severity level - MCE_UCNA/DEFERRED_SEVERITY.
In addition, mce_severity is specific to machine check exception,
and it will check MCIP/EIPV/RIPV bits. In order to use mce_severity
mechanism in non-exception context, the patch also introduces a new
argument (is_excp) for mce_severity. `is_excp' is used to explicitly
specify the calling context of mce_severity.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

BorisO reports that misc_register() fails often on xen. The current code
unregisters the CPU hotplug notifier in that case. If then a CPU is
offlined and onlined back again, we end up with a second timer running
on that CPU, leading to soft lockups and system hangs.
So let's leave the hotcpu notifier always registered - even if
mce_device_create failed for some cores and never unreg it so that we
can deal with the timer handling accordingly.

Added two preemption bugs:
- machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
bootup.
- it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.
To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a collection of minor fixes for x86, plus the IRET information
leak fix (forbid the use of 16-bit segments in 64-bit mode)"
NOTE! We may have to relax the "forbid the use of 16-bit segments in
64-bit mode" part, since there may be people who still run and depend on
16-bit Windows binaries under Wine.
But I'm taking this in the current unconditional form for now to see who
(if anybody) screams bloody murder. Maybe nobody cares. And maybe
we'll have to update it with some kind of runtime enablement (like our
vm.mmap_min_addr tunable that people who run dosemu/qemu/wine already
need to tweak).

x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms
When CMCI storm persists for a long time(at least beyond predefined
threshold. It's 30 seconds for now), we can watch CMCI storm is
detected immediately after it subsides.
...
Dec 10 22:04:29 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:05:29 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
...
The problem is that our logic that determines that the storm has
ended is incorrect. We announce the end, re-enable interrupts and
realize that the storm is still going on, so we switch back to
polling mode. Rinse, repeat.
When a storm happens we disable signaling of errors via CMCI and begin
polling machine check banks instead. If we find any logged errors,
then we need to set a per-cpu flag so that our per-cpu tests that
check whether the storm is ongoing will see that errors are still
being logged independently of whether mce_notify_irq() says that the
error has been fully processed.
cmci_clear() is not the right tool to disable a bank. It disables the
interrupt for the bank as desired, but it also clears the bit for
this bank in "mce_banks_owned" so we will skip the bank when polling
(so we fail to see that the storm continues because we stop looking).
New cmci_storm_disable_banks() just disables the interrupt while
allowing polling to continue.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the mce code in x86 by using this latter form of callback registration.

So mce_start_timer() has a 'cpu' argument which is supposed to mean to
start a timer on that cpu. However, the code currently starts a timer on
the *current* cpu the function runs on and causes the sanity-check in
mce_timer_fn to fire:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1286 mce_timer_fn
because it is running on the wrong cpu.
This was triggered by Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> by offlining
all the cpus in succession.
Then, we were fiddling with the CMCI storm settings when starting the
timer whereas there's no need for that - if there's storm happening
on this newly restarted cpu, we're going to be in normal CMCI mode
initially and then when the CMCI interrupt starts firing, we're going to
go to the polling mode with the timer real soon.

commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

The Corrected Machine Check structure (CMC) in HEST has a flag which can be
set by the firmware to indicate to the OS that it prefers to process the
corrected error events first. In this scenario, the OS is expected to not
monitor for corrected errors (through CMCI/polling). Instead, the firmware
notifies the OS on corrected error events through GHES.
Linux already has support for GHES. This patch adds support for parsing CMC
structure and to disable CMCI/polling if the firmware first flag is set.
Further, the list of machine check bank structures at the end of CMC is used
to determine which MCA banks function in FF mode, so that we continue to
monitor error events on the other banks.

However, a look at cmci_rediscover shows that it can be simplified quite
a bit, apart from solving the above issue. It invokes functions that
take spin locks with interrupts disabled, and hence it can run in atomic
context. Also, it is run in the CPU_POST_DEAD phase, so the dying CPU
is already dead and out of the cpu_online_mask. So take these points into
account and simplify the code, and thereby also fix the above issue.

There's no need to test whether a (delayed) work item in pending
before queueing, flushing or cancelling it. Most uses are unnecessary
and quite a few of them are buggy.

450cc20103 ("x86/mce: Provide boot argument to honour bios-set CMCI
threshold") added the bios_cmci_threshold sysfs attribute which was
supposed to communicate to userspace tools that BIOS CMCI threshold has
been honoured.
However, this info is not of any importance to userspace - it should
rather get the actual error count it has been thresholded already from
MCi_STATUS[38:52].
So drop this before it becomes a used interface (good thing we caught
this early in 3.7-rc1, right after the merge window closed).

The ACPI spec doesn't provide for a way for the bios to pass down
recommended thresholds to the OS on a _per-bank_ basis. This patch adds
a new boot option, which if passed, tells Linux to use CMCI thresholds
set by the bios.
As fail-safe, we initialize threshold to 1 if some banks have not been
initialized by the bios and warn the user.

On Intel systems corrected machine check interrupts (CMCI) may be sent to
multiple logical processors; possibly to all processors on the affected
socket (SDM Volume 3B "15.5.1 CMCI Local APIC Interface"). This means
that a persistent error (such as a stuck bit in ECC memory) may cause
a storm of interrupts that greatly hinders or prevents forward progress
(probably on many processors).
To solve this we keep track of the rate at which each processor sees
CMCI. If we exceed a threshold, we disable CMCI delivery and switch to
polling the machine check banks. If the storm subsides (none of the
affected processors see any more errors for a complete poll interval) we
re-enable CMCI.
[Tony: Added console messages when storm begins/ends and increased storm
threshold from 5 to 15 so we have a few more logged entries before we
disable interrupts and start dropping reports]
