Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpuid: Clobber CPUID leaves 0x800000{1d..20}
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 02:01:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220407010121.11301-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

c/s 1a914256dca5 increased the AMD max leaf from 0x8000001c to 0x80000021, but
did not adjust anything in the calculate_*_policy() chain.  As a result, on
hardware supporting these leaves, we read the real hardware values into the
raw policy, then copy into host, and all the way into the PV/HVM default
policies.

All 4 of these leaves have enable bits (first two by TopoExt, next by SEV,
next by PQOS), so any software following the rules is fine and will leave them
alone.  However, leaf 0x8000001d takes a subleaf input and at least two
userspace utilities have been observed to loop indefinitely under Xen (clearly
waiting for eax to report "no more cache levels").

Such userspace is buggy, but Xen's behaviour isn't great either.

In the short term, clobber all information in these leaves.  This is a giant
bodge, but there are complexities with implementing all of these leaves
properly.

Fixes: 1a914256dca5 ("x86/cpuid: support LFENCE always serialising CPUID bit")

I was hoping to do something better, but it turned into a rats nest, and this
fix wants backporting.

It turns out that Intel leaf 4 and AMD leaf 0x8000001d are *almost* identical.
They differ by the "complex" bit in edx, and the $X-per-cache fields in the
top of eax (Intel is threads-per-cache, AMD is cores-per-cache and lacks the
cores-per-package field).

As neither vendor implement each others version, I'm incredibly tempted to
reuse p->cache for both, rather than doubling the storage space.  Reading the
data out is easy to key on p->extd.topoext.  Writing the data can be done
without any further complexity if we simply trust the sending side to have its
indices the proper way around.  Particularly, this avoids needing to ensure
that p->extd.topoext is out of order and at the head of the stream.  Thoughts?
