commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream.
This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking,
and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If
the sample length times the expected max number of samples
exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate.
This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the
CPU.
This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where
perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my
system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs.
I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's
busted and undebuggable any day.
BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here.
Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing
factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on.
But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine
hanging all the time.

commit fa81511bb0bbb2b1aace3695ce869da9762624ff upstream.
Checkin:
b3b42ac2cbae x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
leak. However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.
A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.
It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do
echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.
The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
does that ;)

commit b3b42ac2cbae1f3cecbb6229964a4d48af31d382 upstream.
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. We have
a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but
it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in
32-bit mode.
Since 16-bit support is somewhat crippled anyway on a 64-bit kernel
(no V86 mode), and most (if not quite all) 64-bit processors support
virtualization for the users who really need it, simply reject
attempts at creating a 16-bit segment when running on top of a 64-bit
kernel.

commit 12729f14d8357fb845d75155228b21e76360272d upstream.
If a failure occurs while modifying ftrace function, it bails out and will
remove the tracepoints to be back to what the code originally was.
There is missing the final sync run across the CPUs after the fix up is done
and before the ftrace int3 handler flag is reset.
Here's the description of the problem:

commit 6f8a1b335fde143b7407036e2368d3cd6eb55674 upstream.
Commit 03bbcb2e7e2 (iommu/vt-d: add quirk for broken interrupt
remapping on 55XX chipsets) properly disables irq remapping on the
5500/5520 chipsets that don't correctly perform that feature.
However, when I wrote it, I followed the errata sheet linked in that
commit too closely, and explicitly tied the activation of the quirk to
revision 0x13 of the chip, under the assumption that earlier revisions
were not in the field. Recently a system was reported to be suffering
from this remap bug and the quirk hadn't triggered, because the
revision id register read at a lower value that 0x13, so the quirk
test failed improperly. Given this, it seems only prudent to adjust
this quirk so that any revision less than 0x13 has the quirk asserted.

commit 731bd6a93a6e9172094a2322bd0ee964bb1f4d63 upstream.
For non-eager fpu mode, thread's fpu state is allocated during the first
fpu usage (in the context of device not available exception). This
(math_state_restore()) can be a blocking call and hence we enable
interrupts (which were originally disabled when the exception happened),
allocate memory and disable interrupts etc.
But the eager-fpu mode, call's the same math_state_restore() from
kernel_fpu_end(). The assumption being that tsk_used_math() is always
set for the eager-fpu mode and thus avoid the code path of enabling
interrupts, allocating fpu state using blocking call and disable
interrupts etc.
But the below issue was noticed by Maarten Baert, Nate Eldredge and
few others:
If a user process dumps core on an ecrypt fs while aesni-intel is loaded,
we get a BUG() in __find_get_block() complaining that it was called with
interrupts disabled; then all further accesses to our ecrypt fs hang
and we have to reboot.
The aesni-intel code (encrypting the core file that we are writing) needs
the FPU and quite properly wraps its code in kernel_fpu_{begin,end}(),
the latter of which calls math_state_restore(). So after kernel_fpu_end(),
interrupts may be disabled, which nobody seems to expect, and they stay
that way until we eventually get to __find_get_block() which barfs.
For eager fpu, most the time, tsk_used_math() is true. At few instances
during thread exit, signal return handling etc, tsk_used_math() might
be false.
In kernel_fpu_end(), for eager-fpu, call math_state_restore()
only if tsk_used_math() is set. Otherwise, don't bother. Kernel code
path which cleared tsk_used_math() knows what needs to be done
with the fpu state.

commit 847d7970defb45540735b3fb4e88471c27cacd85 upstream.
For systems with multiple servers and routed fabric, all
northbridges get assigned to the first server. Fix this by also
using the node reported from the PCI bus. For single-fabric
systems, the northbriges are on PCI bus 0 by definition, which
are on NUMA node 0 by definition, so this is invarient on most
systems.
Tested on fam10h and fam15h single and multi-fabric systems and
candidate for stable.

commit b01d4e68933ec23e43b1046fa35d593cefcf37d1 upstream.
It's an enum, not a #define, you can't use it in asm files.
Introduced in commit 5fa10196bdb5 ("x86: Ignore NMIs that come in during
early boot"), and sadly I didn't compile-test things like I should have
before pushing out.
My weak excuse is that the x86 tree generally doesn't introduce stupid
things like this (and the ARM pull afterwards doesn't cause me to do a
compile-test either, since I don't cross-compile).

commit 5fa10196bdb5f190f595ebd048490ee52dddea0f upstream.
Don Zickus reports:
A customer generated an external NMI using their iLO to test kdump
worked. Unfortunately, the machine hung. Disabling the nmi_watchdog
made things work.
I speculated the external NMI fired, caused the machine to panic (as
expected) and the perf NMI from the watchdog came in and was latched.
My guess was this somehow caused the hang.
----
It appears that the latched NMI stays latched until the early page
table generation on 64 bits, which causes exceptions to happen which
end in IRET, which re-enable NMI. Therefore, ignore NMIs that come in
during early execution, until we have proper exception handling.

commit 26e61e8939b1fe8729572dabe9a9e97d930dd4f6 upstream.
Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.
This is I think the relevant bit:

> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926166: collect_events: Adding event: 1 (ffff880119ec8800)
So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).
At this point we should have:
n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800)
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00)
We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
that's not visible.
group_sched_in()
pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
event_sched_in()
event->pmu->add()
So here we should end up with:
0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3
But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.
Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
seen the sibling adds.
But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
fits perfectly fine on a core2.
However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
succeeded! Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:
event_sched_out()
event->pmu->del()
on 0 and the BP event.
Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
giving what we see below:
n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
> pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926177: x86_pmu_enable: x86_pmu_enable

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.

commit c091c71ad2218fc50a07b3d1dab85783f3b77efd upstream.
GFP_ATOMIC is not a single gfp flag, but a macro which expands to the other
flags, where meaningful is the LACK of __GFP_WAIT flag. To check if caller
wants to perform an atomic allocation, the code must test for a lack of the
__GFP_WAIT flag. This patch fixes the issue introduced in v3.5-rc1.

commit 87fbb2ac6073a7039303517546a76074feb14c84 upstream.
When the conversion was made to remove stop machine and use the breakpoint
logic instead, the modification of the function graph caller is still
done directly as though it was being done under stop machine.
As it is not converted via stop machine anymore, there is a possibility
that the code could be layed across cache lines and if another CPU is
accessing that function graph call when it is being updated, it could
cause a General Protection Fault.
Convert the update of the function graph caller to use the breakpoint
method as well.

commit f98b7a772ab51b52ca4d2a14362fc0e0c8a2e0f3 upstream.
There was a large performance regression that was bisected to
commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for
x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point
between a local and global flush for IvyBridge.
In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this
patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following
configurations

Ebizzy hits the worst case scenario for TLB range flushing every
time and it shows for these Ivybridge CPUs at least that the
default choice is a poor on. The patch addresses the problem.
Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It
measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The
expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that
the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing
There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The
number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max
of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full
range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected
within that section.
iteration 1, random number between 0-64
iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc
This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know
what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it
can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges
and an even spread is not representative of any workload that
matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability
distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads
that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed
that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it
would not account for the time between flushes but there are
limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing
something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is
provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

For both CPUs, average access time is reduced which is good as
this is the benchmark that was used to tune the shift values in
the first place albeit it is now known *how* the benchmark was
used.
The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They
showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those
benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering
with the test results recently.
Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were
flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine.
These results were unstable and showed large variations between
reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've
noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary.
Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems
like a logical choice.

commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream.
This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it. This addresses CVE-2013-6885.
Erratum text:
[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]
793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang
Description
Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.
Potential Effect on System
Processor core hang.
Suggested Workaround
BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.
Fix Planned
No fix planned

commit 1739f09e33d8f66bf48ddbc3eca615574da6c4f6 upstream.
Function tracing callbacks expect to have the ftrace_ops that registered it
passed to them, not the address of the variable that holds the ftrace_ops
that registered it.
Use a mov instead of a lea to store the ftrace_ops into the parameter
of the function tracing callback.

commit bee09ed91cacdbffdbcd3b05de8409c77ec9fcd6 upstream.
On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from
S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization:
Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1
[Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1
process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1
CPU1 is up
...
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3
Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS
vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming.
The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs
to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but
firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram
the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be
written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is
implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during
IBS setup.
This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding
resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset
reinitialization.
Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

commit 40e2d7f9b5dae048789c64672bf3027fbb663ffa upstream.
Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched:
x86: Use generic idle loop
(7d1a941731fabf27e5fb6edbebb79fe856edb4e5)
This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number
of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote
from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms
to experience a significant increase in idle power.
Note that this issue was already present before the commit above,
however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements.
Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington"
to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate
returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms.
While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle
may also run on these two newer systems.
As of today, there are no other models that are known
to need this tweak.

commit ea8117478918a4734586d35ff530721b682425be upstream.
Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop")
regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule
interrupts.
The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).
Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).
Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

commit 30e46b574a1db7d14404e52dca8e1aa5f5155fd2 upstream.
Type SETUP_PCI, added by setup_efi_pci(), may advertise a ROM size
larger than early_memremap() is able to handle, which is currently
limited to 256kB. If this occurs it leads to a NULL dereference in
parse_setup_data().
To avoid this, remap the setup_data header and allow parsing functions
for individual types to handle their own data remapping.

commit bd1c149aa9915b9abb6d83d0f01dfd2ace0680b5 upstream.
For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.
Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.
Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

commit 5ea80f76a56605a190a7ea16846c82aa63dbd0aa upstream.
This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.
The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.
In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774
So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that. Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.

commit c9601247f8f3fdc18aed7ed7e490e8dfcd07f122 upstream.
John McCalpin reports that the "drs_data" and "ncb_data" QPI
uncore events are missing the "extra bit" and always return zero
values unless the bit is properly set.
More details from him:
According to the Xeon E5-2600 Product Family Uncore Performance
Monitoring Guide, Table 2-94, about 1/2 of the QPI Link Layer events
(including the ones that "perf" calls "drs_data" and "ncb_data") require
that the "extra bit" be set.
This was confusing for a while -- a note at the bottom of page 94 says
that the "extra bit" is bit 16 of the control register.
Unfortunately, Table 2-86 clearly says that bit 16 is reserved and must
be zero. Looking around a bit, I found that bit 21 appears to be the
correct "extra bit", and further investigation shows that "perf" actually
agrees with me:
[root@c560-003.stampede]# cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_qpi_0/format/event
config:0-7,21
So the command
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=drs_data/"
Is the same as
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x02,umask=0x08/"
While it should be
# perf -e "uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x08/"
I confirmed that this last version gives results that agree with the
amount of data that I expected the STREAM benchmark to move across the QPI
link in the second (cross-chip) test of the original script.

iommu/vt-d: add quirk for broken interrupt remapping on 55XX chipsets
It turns out this same problem is present in the intel X58
chipset as well. See errata 69 here:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/x58-express-specification-update.html
This patch extends the pci early quirk so that the chip
devices/revisions specified in the above update are also covered
in the same way:

GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c:

to
memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
mask = 0x0000ffbf;
since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch. As the
result, the DAZ bit will be cleared. This patch fixes it. This bug
dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12.

so bit 44 and bit 45 get cut off.
We have problems in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c::generic_get_mtrr().
1. for base, we miss cast base_lo to 64bit before shifting.
Fix that by adding u64 casting.
2. for size, it only can handle 44 bits aka 32bits + page_shift
Fix that with 64bit mask instead of 32bit mask_lo, then range could be
more than 44bits.
At the same time, we need to update size_or_mask for old cpus that does
support cpuid 0x80000008 to get phys_addr. Need to set high 32bits
to all 1s, otherwise will not get correct size for them.
Also fix mtrr_add_page: it should check base and (base + size - 1)
instead of base and size, as base and size could be small but
base + size could bigger enough to be out of boundary. We can
use boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits directly to avoid size_or_mask.

based on 4df05f361937ee86e5a8c9ead8aeb6a19ea9b7d7 upstream.
Since the IDT is referenced from a fixmap, make sure it is page aligned.
This avoids the risk of the IDT ever being moved in the bss and having
the mapping be offset, resulting in calling incorrect handlers. In the
current upstream kernel this is not a manifested bug, but heavily patched
kernels (such as those using the PaX patch series) did encounter this bug.

commit 5ff560fd48d5b3d82fa0c3aff625c9da1a301911 upstream.
There are CPUs which have errata causing RDMSR of a nonexistent MSR to
not fault. We would then try to WRMSR to restore the value of that
MSR, causing a crash. Specifically, some Pentium M variants would
have this problem trying to save and restore the non-existent EFER,
causing a crash on resume.
Work around this by making sure we can write back the result at
suspend time.
Huge thanks to Christian Sünkenberg for finding the offending erratum
that finally deciphered the mystery.

Fix arch_prepare_kprobe() to handle failures in copy instruction
correctly. This fix is related to the previous fix: 8101376
which made __copy_instruction return an error result if failed,
but caller site was not updated to handle it. Thus, this is the
other half of the bugfix.
This fix is also related to the following bug-report:

The following change fixes the x86 implementation of
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), which was previously (accidentally,
as far as I can tell) disabled to always return false as on
architectures that do not implement this function.
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), as defined in include/linux/nmi.h,
should call arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() if available, or
return false if the underlying arch doesn't implement this
function.
x86 did provide a suitable arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
implementation, but it wasn't actually being used because it was
declared in asm/nmi.h, which linux/nmi.h doesn't include. Also,
linux/nmi.h couldn't easily be fixed by including asm/nmi.h,
because that file is not available on all architectures.
I am proposing to fix this by moving the x86 definition of
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to asm/irq.h.
Tested via: echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Before the change, this uses a fallback implementation which
shows backtraces on active CPUs (using
smp_call_function_interrupt() )
After the change, this shows NMI backtraces on all CPUs

This patch fixes broken support of PEBS-LL on SNB-EP/IVB-EP.
For some reason, the LDLAT extra reg definition for snb_ep

snb_ep table.

kernel might hung in pvclock_clocksource_read() due to
uninitialized memory might contain odd version value in
following cycle:
do {
version = __pvclock_read_cycles(src, &ret, &flags);
} while ((src->version & 1) || version != src->version);
if secondary kvmclock is accessed before it's registered with kvm.
Clear garbage in pvclock shared memory area right after it's
allocated to avoid this issue.

Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae7c.
*BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 16M num_reg: 6 lose cover RAM: -0G
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59491
So it rejects new var mtrr layout.
It turns out we have some problem with initial mtrr range retrieval.
The current sequence is:
x86_get_mtrr_mem_range
==> bunchs of add_range_with_merge
==> bunchs of subract_range
==> clean_sort_range
add_range_with_merge for [0,1M)
sort_range()
add_range_with_merge could have blank slots, so we can not just
sort only, that will have final result have extra blank slot in head.
So move that calling add_range_with_merge for [0,1M), with that we
could avoid extra clean_sort_range calling.

Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86:
Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector.
I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a
function which never returns, but I put that call into
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns.
I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then
I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the
stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the
non-boot cpus.
So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into
cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef
is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the
boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle.
I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH
maintainers have no objection.

Commit 316ad248307fb ("sched/x86: Rewrite
set_cpu_sibling_map()") broke the construction of sibling maps,
which also broke the booted_cores accounting.
Before the rewrite, if smt was present, then each map was
updated for each smt sibling. After the rewrite only
cpu_sibling_mask gets updated, as the llc and core maps depend
on 'has_mc = x86_max_cores > 1' instead. This leads to problems
with topologies like the following
(qemu -smp sockets=2,cores=1,threads=2)
processor : 0
physical id : 0
siblings : 1 <= should be 2
core id : 0
cpu cores : 1
processor : 1
physical id : 0
siblings : 1 <= should be 2
core id : 0
cpu cores : 0 <= should be 1
processor : 2
physical id : 1
siblings : 1 <= should be 2
core id : 0
cpu cores : 1
processor : 3
physical id : 1
siblings : 1 <= should be 2
core id : 0
cpu cores : 0 <= should be 1
This patch restores the former construction by defining has_mc
as (has_smt || x86_max_cores > 1). This should be fine as there
were no (has_smt && !has_mc) conditions in the context.
Aso rename has_mc to has_mp now that it's not just for cores.
