If a user did:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
we would (this a build with DEBUG enabled) get to:
smpboot: ++++++++++++++++++++=_---CPU UP 1
.. snip..
smpboot: Stack at about ffff880074c0ff44
smpboot: CPU1: has booted.
and hang. The RCU mechanism would kick in an try to IPI the CPU1
but the IPIs (and all other interrupts) would never arrive at the
CPU1. At first glance at least. A bit digging in the hypervisor
trace shows that (using xenanalyze):

there is a pending event (subsequent debugging shows it is the IPI
from the VCPU0 when smpboot.c on VCPU1 has done
"set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true)") and the guest VCPU1 is
interrupted with the callback IPI (0xf3 aka 243) which ends up calling
__xen_evtchn_do_upcall.
The __xen_evtchn_do_upcall seems to do *something* but not acknowledge
the pending events. And the moment the guest does a 'cli' (that is the
ffffffff81673254 in the log above) the hypervisor is invoked again to
inject the IPI (0xf3) to tell the guest it has pending interrupts.
This repeats itself forever.
The culprit was the per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) pointer. At the bootup
we set each per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) to point to the
shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] but later on use the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
to register per-CPU structures (xen_vcpu_setup).
This is used to allow events for more than 32 VCPUs and for performance
optimizations reasons.
When the user performs the VCPU hotplug we end up calling the
the xen_vcpu_setup once more. We make the hypercall which returns
-EINVAL as it does not allow multiple registration calls (and
already has re-assigned where the events are being set). We pick
the fallback case and set per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) to point to the
shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] (which is a good fallback during bootup).
However the hypervisor is still setting events in the register
per-cpu structure (per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info, cpu)).
As such when the events are set by the hypervisor (such as timer one),
and when we iterate in __xen_evtchn_do_upcall we end up reading stale
events from the shared_info->vcpu_info[vcpu] instead of the
per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info, cpu) structures. Hence we never acknowledge the
events that the hypervisor has set and the hypervisor keeps on reminding
us to ack the events which we never do.
The fix is simple. Don't on the second time when xen_vcpu_setup is
called over-write the per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) if it points to
per_cpu(xen_vcpu_info).

The solution to that is use kasprintf in the CPU hotplug path

and remove the call to in xen_hvm_setup_cpu_clockevents.
Unfortunatly the later is not a good idea as the bootup path
does not use xen_hvm_cpu_notify so we would end up never allocating
timer%d interrupt lines when booting. As such add the check for
atomic() to continue.

While we don't use the spinlock interrupt line (see for details
commit f10cd522c5 -
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM) - we should still do the proper
init / deinit sequence. We did not do that correctly and for the
CPU init for PVHVM guest we would allocate an interrupt line - but
failed to deallocate the old interrupt line.
This resulted in leakage of an irq_desc but more importantly this splat

eboot.o and efi_stub_$(BITS).o didn't get added to "targets", and hence
their .cmd files don't get included by the build machinery, leading to
the files always getting rebuilt.
Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and
add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment
at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit.
At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable
assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are
meaningless for assembly sources.

Commit fca460f95e simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.
This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.
I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME. If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable
memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that
address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. KVM pins
the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user
space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then
the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.

If the guest sets the GPA of the time_page so that the request to update the
time straddles a page then KVM will write onto an incorrect page. The
write is done byusing kmap atomic to get a pointer to the page for the time
structure and then performing a memcpy to that page starting at an offset
that the guest controls. Well behaved guests always provide a 32-byte aligned
address, however a malicious guest could use this to corrupt host kernel
memory.

There is a deadlock in pvclock handling:
cpu0: cpu1:
kvm_gen_update_masterclock()
kvm_guest_time_update()
spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)
local_irq_save(flags)
spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)
kvm_make_mclock_inprogress_request(kvm)
make_all_cpus_request()
smp_call_function_many()
Now if smp_call_function_many() called by cpu0 tries to call function on
cpu1 there will be a deadlock.
Fix by moving pvclock_gtod_sync_lock protected section outside irq
disabled section.

Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies
IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in
introducing overhead but also involving
inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can
cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end).
Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified
on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every
probe hit.
To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe
and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

Commit 1d9d8639c0 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling
after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the
DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering.
init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU
cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the
early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all
happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single()
ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number
matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead.
This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the
wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.
The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

kernel_map_sync_memtype() is called from a variety of contexts. The
pat.c code that calls it seems to ensure that it is not called for
non-ram areas by checking via pat_pagerange_is_ram(). It is important
that it only be called on the actual identity map because there *IS*
no map to sync for highmem pages, or for memory holes.
The ioremap.c uses are not as careful as those from pat.c, and call
kernel_map_sync_memtype() on PCI space which is in the middle of the
kernel identity map _range_, but is not actually mapped.
This patch adds a check to kernel_map_sync_memtype() which probably
duplicates some of the checks already in pat.c. But, it is necessary
for the ioremap.c uses and shouldn't hurt other callers.
I have reproduced this bug and this patch fixes it for me and the
original bug reporter:

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some
undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the
particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for
that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the
bootloader is broken.
kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this
field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI
bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

| x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
It turns out that we do not calculate the real_end properly:
We try to get 2M size with 4K alignment, and later will round down
to 2M, so we will get less then 2M for first mapping, in extreme
case could be only 4K only. In Henrik's system it has (1M-32K) as
last usable rage is [mem 0x7f9db000-0x7fef8fff].
The problem is exposed when EFI booting have several holes and it
will force mapping to use PTE instead as we only map usable areas.
To fix it, just make it be 2M aligned, so we can be guaranteed to be
able to use large pages to map it.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")
It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.
3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
be routed via tip/x86/mm.
4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
anymore.
d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
not good.
If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.
We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.
So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
SRAT")
27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
the end of node")
e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is

42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
6981ec3114 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
movable limit for nodes")
34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

with one MSI and AHCI would fail with:

(a similar message shows up if you end up launching 'mcelog')
The call chain is (as analyzed by Liu, Jinsong):
do_fork
--> copy_process
--> dup_mm
--> dup_mmap
--> copy_page_range
--> track_pfn_copy
--> reserve_pfn_range
--> line 624: flags != want_flags
It comes from different memory types of page table (_PAGE_CACHE_WB) and MTRR
(_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS).
Stefan Bader dug in this deep and found out that:
"That makes it clearer as this will do
reserve_memtype(...)
--> pat_x_mtrr_type
--> mtrr_type_lookup
--> __mtrr_type_lookup
And that can return -1/0xff in case of MTRR not being enabled/initialized. Which
is not the case (given there are no messages for it in dmesg). This is not equal
to MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK and thus becomes _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS.
It looks like the problem starts early in reserve_memtype:
if (!pat_enabled) {
/* This is identical to page table setting without PAT */
if (new_type) {
if (req_type == _PAGE_CACHE_WC)
*new_type = _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS;
else
*new_type = req_type & _PAGE_CACHE_MASK;
}
return 0;
}
This would be what we want, that is clearing the PWT and PCD flags from the
supported flags - if pat_enabled is disabled."
This patch does that - disabling PAT.
