Pull x86 splitlock updates from Ingo Molnar:

- Add the "ratelimit:N" parameter to the split_lock_detect= boot
option, to rate-limit the generation of bus-lock exceptions.

This is both easier on system resources and kinder to offending
applications than the current policy of outright killing them.

- Document the split-lock detection feature and its parameters.

- Use the special RAPL CPUID bit to detect the functionality on AMD and

x86/tsx: Clear CPUID bits when TSX always force aborts

As a result of TSX deprecation, some processors always abort TSX
transactions by default after a microcode update.

When TSX feature cannot be used it is better to hide it. Clear CPUID.RTM
and CPUID.HLE bits when TSX transactions always abort.

x86/bus_lock: Set rate limit for bus lock

A bus lock can be thousands of cycles slower than atomic operation within
one cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores. Malicious
users can generate multiple bus locks to degrade the whole system
performance.

The current mitigation is to kill the offending process, but for certain
scenarios it's desired to identify and throttle the offending application.

Add a system wide rate limit for bus locks. When the system detects bus
locks at a rate higher than N/sec (where N can be set by the kernel boot
argument in the range [1..1000]) any task triggering a bus lock will be
forced to sleep for at least 20ms until the overall system rate of bus
locks drops below the threshold.

Merge tag 'perf-core-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:

- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:

- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.

These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
explicitly.

- Add Alder Lake support

- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers

- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.

The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.

- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.

- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems

- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool

- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
main changes:

- Add thread-only event inheritance via
perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
events to CLONE_THREAD.

- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.

- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.

The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
metadata passed over siginfo as well.

- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

Pull x86 bus lock detection updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for enhanced split lock detection:

Newer CPUs provide a second mechanism to detect operations with lock
prefix which go accross a cache line boundary. Such operations have to
take bus lock which causes a system wide performance degradation when
these operations happen frequently.

The new mechanism is not using the #AC exception. It triggers #DB and
is restricted to operations in user space. Kernel side split lock
access can only be detected by the #AC based variant.

Contrary to the #AC based mechanism the #DB based variant triggers
_after_ the instruction was executed. The mechanism is CPUID
enumerated and contrary to the #AC version which is based on the magic
TEST_CTRL_MSR and model/family based enumeration on the way to become
architectural"

x86/cpu: Add helper function to get the type of the current hybrid CPU

On processors with Intel Hybrid Technology (i.e., one having more than
one type of CPU in the same package), all CPUs support the same
instruction set and enumerate the same features on CPUID. Thus, all
software can run on any CPU without restrictions. However, there may be
model-specific differences among types of CPUs. For instance, each type
of CPU may support a different number of performance counters. Also,
machine check error banks may be wired differently. Even though most
software will not care about these differences, kernel subsystems
dealing with these differences must know.

Add and expose a new helper function get_this_hybrid_cpu_type() to query
the type of the current hybrid CPU. The function will be used later in
the perf subsystem.

The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the CPU type as 8-bit
identifier.

x86/traps: Handle #DB for bus lock

Bus locks degrade performance for the whole system, not just for the CPU
that requested the bus lock. Two CPU features "#AC for split lock" and
"#DB for bus lock" provide hooks so that the operating system may choose
one of several mitigation strategies.

#AC for split lock is already implemented. Add code to use the #DB for
bus lock feature to cover additional situations with new options to
mitigate.

split_lock_detect=
#AC for split lock #DB for bus lock

off Do nothing Do nothing

warn Kernel OOPs Warn once per task and
Warn once per task and and continues to run.
disable future checking
When both features are
supported, warn in #AC

fatal Kernel OOPs Send SIGBUS to user.
Send SIGBUS to user
When both features are
supported, fatal in #AC

ratelimit:N Do nothing Limit bus lock rate to
N per second in the
current non-root user.

Default option is "warn".

Hardware only generates #DB for bus lock detect when CPL>0 to avoid
nested #DB from multiple bus locks while the first #DB is being handled.
So no need to handle #DB for bus lock detected in the kernel.

#DB for bus lock is enabled by bus lock detection bit 2 in DEBUGCTL MSR
while #AC for split lock is enabled by split lock detection bit 29 in
TEST_CTRL MSR.

Both breakpoint and bus lock in the same instruction can trigger one #DB.
The bus lock is handled before the breakpoint in the #DB handler.

Delivery of #DB for bus lock in userspace clears DR6[11], which is set by
the #DB handler right after reading DR6.
