The first problem is that if the current EPB value for a CPU going online is 0 ('performance'), the kernel will change it to 6 ('normal') regardless of whether or not this is the first bring-up of that CPU. That also happens during system-wide resume from sleep states (including, but not limited to, hibernation). However, the EPB may have been adjusted by user space this way and the kernel should not blindly override that setting. The second problem is that if the platform firmware resets the EPB values for any CPUs during system-wide resume from a sleep state, the kernel will not restore their previous EPB values that may have been set by user space before the preceding system-wide suspend transition. Again, that behavior may at least be confusing from the user space perspective. In order to address these issues, rework the handling of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS so that the EPB value is saved on CPU offline and restored on CPU online as well as (for the boot CPU) during the syscore stages of system-wide suspend and resume transitions, respectively. However, retain the policy by which the EPB is set to 6 ('normal') on the first bring-up of each CPU if its initial value is 0, based on the observation that 0 may mean 'not initialized' just as well as 'performance' in that case. While at it, move the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS handling code into a separate file and document it in Documentation/admin-guide.

But this could fail sometimes, for example when one tries to reserve a big chunk like 2G, for example. So let the crashkernel=xM just fall back to use high memory in case it fails to find a suitable low range. Do not set the ,high as default because it allocates extra low memory for DMA buffers and swiotlb, and this is not always necessary for all machines. Typically, crashkernel=128M usually works with low reservation under 4G, so keep <4G as default.

It's getting more and more complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given architecture. Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability. Most users fall into a few basic categories: a) they want all mitigations off; b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if it's vulnerable; or c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if vulnerable. Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an aggregation of existing options: - mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations. - mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable. - mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling SMT if needed by a mitigation. Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do anything. They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

* | | rcu: Allow rcu_nocbs= to specify all CPUsPaul E. McKenney2019-03-261-1/+3
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them". As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded. Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup(). Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU: If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the Partial Parity Log is enabled, circular buffer is used to store PPL data. Each write to RAID device causes overwrite of data in this buffer so some write_hint can be set to those request to help drives handle garbage collection. This patch adds new sysfs attribute which can be used to specify which write_hint should be assigned to PPL.

During early boot lockup detection can trigger when noisy debugging emits a large amount of messages to the console, but there is no way to set a larger threshold on the kernel command line. The detector can only be completely disabled. Add a new watchdog_thresh= command line parameter to allow boot time control over the threshold. It works in the same way as the sysctl and affects both the soft and the hard lockup detectors.
