Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] x86: fix hang when AP bringup is too slow

changes since v3:
* put simple bugfixes first
* move common part of syncing with master CPU in cpu_init()
for x32/64 variant into helper function
* cpu_init(): WARN_ON if cpu_initialized_mask is set
* fix panic on CPU unplug, caused by erroneous removing
of "pr->dev = dev;" in drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug,
especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It happens more
often if host is over-committed).

Hang happens because master CPU timeouts on waiting till
AP boots and 'cancels' CPU online operation assuming AP
is not functional but AP may continue run wild later
causing various hangs or panics in running kernel that
is assuming that AP was offline.

This is an alternative approach, that instead of canceling
in-progress AP bringup (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257),
removes timeouts so that AP bringup won't be affected by
poor timing and syncs AP with master CPU at early startup
making sure that AP won't run wild if master CPU doesn't
expect AP to come online.

Series also fixes 3 bugs found during testing CPU bringup
failure case.

--
Below is the detailed description of a more often happening hang:
---
Master CPU may timeout before cpu_callin_mask is set and cancel
booting CPU, but being onlined CPU still continues to boot, sets
cpu_active_mask (CPU_STARTING notifiers) and spins in
check_tsc_sync_target() for master cpu to arrive. Following attempt
to online another cpu hangs in stop_machine, initiated from here:
smp_callin ->
smp_store_cpu_info ->
identify_secondary_cpu ->
mtrr_ap_init -> set_mtrr_from_inactive_cpu

stop_machine waits on completion of stop_work on all CPUs from
cpu_active_mask including a failed CPU that spins in check_tsc_sync_target().

Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] x86: log error on secondary CPU wakeup failure at ERR level

If system is running without debug level logging,
it will not log error if do_boot_cpu() failed to
wakeup AP. It may lead to silent AP bringup
failures at boot time.
Change message level to KERN_ERR to make error
visible to user as it's done on other architectures.

currently if AP wake up is failed, master CPU marks AP as not present

That leads to following list corruption on the next physical CPU

Which is caused by the fact that generic_processor_info() allocates
logical CPU id by calling:

cpu = cpumask_next_zero(-1, cpu_present_mask);

which returns id of previously failed to wake up CPU, since its bit
is cleared by do_boot_cpu() and as result register_cpu() tries to
register another CPU with the same id as already present but failed
to be onlined CPU.

Taking in account that AP will not do anything if master CPU failed to
wake it up, there is no reason to mark that AP as not present and
break next cpu hotplug attempts. As a side effect of not marking AP
as not present, user would be allowed to online it again later.

Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] x86: initialize secondary CPU only if master CPU will wait for it

Hang is observed on virtual machines during CPU hotplug,
especially in big guests with many CPUs. (It reproducible
more often if host is over-committed).

It happens because master CPU gives up waiting on
secondary CPU and allows it to run wild. As result
AP causes locking or crashing system. For example
as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/6/257

If master CPU have sent STARTUP IPI successfully,
and AP signalled to master CPU that it's ready
to start initialization, make master CPU wait
indefinitely till AP is onlined.
To ensure that AP won't ever run wild, make it
wait at early startup till master CPU confirms its
intention to wait for AP.

v2:
- ammend comment in cpu_init()
v3:
- leave timeouts in do_boot_cpu(), so that master CPU
won't hang if AP doesn't respond, use cpu_initialized_mask
as a way for AP to signal to master CPU that it's ready
to start initialzation.
v4:
- move common code in cpu_init() for x32/x64 in shared
helper function wait_for_master_cpu()
- add WARN_ON(cpumask_test_and_set_cpu(cpu, cpu_initialized_mask))
to wait_formaster_cpu()

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] x86: fix memory corruption in acpi_unmap_lsapic()

if during CPU hotplug master CPU failed to wake up AP
it set percpu x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID=0xFFFF for AP.

However following attempt to unplug that CPU will lead to
out of bound write access to __apicid_to_node[] which is
32768 items long on x86_64 kernel.

So drop setting x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID in do_boot_cpu()
and allow acpi_processor_remove()->acpi_unmap_lsapic() cleanly
remove CPU.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] acpi_processor: do not mark present at boot but not onlined CPU as onlined

acpi_processor_add() assumes that present at boot CPUs
are always onlined, it is not so if a CPU failed to become
onlined. As result acpi_processor_add() will mark such CPU
device as onlined in sysfs and following attempts to
online/offline it using /sys/device/system/cpu/cpuX/online
attribute will fail.

Do not poke into device internals in acpi_processor_add()
and touch "struct device { .offline }" attribute, since
for CPUs onlined at boot it's set by:
topology_init() -> arch_register_cpu() -> register_cpu()
before ACPI device tree is parsed, and for hotplugged
CPUs it's set when userspace onlines CPU via sysfs.

Yeah.

Does this patch depend on any other patches in the series?

I don't think so, but just asking.

If it doesn't, why is it part of this series at all?

This line is to ensure that dev->offline and pr->flags.need_hotplug_init are
consistent with each other. If you remove it, you need to ensure that they
will be consistent in some other way.

It's doesn't depend on any other patches in here, it was just
convenient to post it as a part of fixes found in CPU hotplug
code and nothing more.

I suspect because Igor was rigorously stress-testing CPU hotplug, and
was fixing all the bugs he saw, before adding the one feature he is
interested in.

The feature cannot be guaranteed to be correct, without having a
stable base to work on.

As such this series makes sense, as long as the fixes precede the
feature, and as long as the fixes are correct.

Consider it work in progress, with you being one of the reviewers who
makes sure the fixes are correct.

Fair enough.

So perhaps the subject of the whole series should be changed, because x86 is
not the only architecture affected by this particular patch?

Hi Igor,

Sorry for long delay... Can you please combine patch 1/5 and 2/5? When
a CPU is marked as present, its APIC ID must be valid. So, it does not
make sense to separate patch 1/5 and 2/5. With that change:

IIRC, this change was necessary to handle the case when maxcpus=X is
specified at boot. In this case, excessive CPU's dev->offline needs to
be set to 1. Can you verify this?
