By default, if the opener has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, a kernfs file can be opened
regardless of RW permissions. Writing to a kernfs file will thus succeed
even if permissions are 0000.
It's required to restrict the actions that can be performed on a resource
group from userspace based on the mode of the resource group. This
restriction will be done through a modification of the file
permissions. That is, for example, if a resource group is locked then the
user cannot add tasks to the resource group.
For this restriction through file permissions to work it has to be ensured
that the permissions are always respected. To do so the resctrl filesystem
is created with the KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK flag that will result
in open(2) failing with -EACCESS regardless of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE if the
permission does not have the respective read or write access.

With cache regions now explicitly marked as "shareable" or "exclusive"
we would like to communicate to the user how portions of the cache
are used.
Introduce "bit_usage" that indicates for each resource
how portions of the cache are configured to be used.
To assist the user to distinguish whether the sharing is from software or
hardware we add the following annotation:
0 - currently unused
X - currently available for sharing and used by software and hardware
H - currently used by hardware only but available for software use
S - currently used and shareable by software only
E - currently used exclusively by one resource group

Currently when a new resource group is created its allocations would be
those that belonged to the resource group to which its closid belonged
previously.
That is, we can encounter a case like:
mkdir newgroup
cat newgroup/schemata
L2:0=ff;1=ff
echo 'L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0' > newgroup/schemata
cat newgroup/schemata
L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0
rmdir newgroup
mkdir newnewgroup
cat newnewgroup/schemata
L2:0=0xf0;1=0xf0
When the new group is created it would be reasonable to expect its
allocations to be initialized with all regions that it can possibly use.
At this time these regions would be all that are shareable by other
resource groups as well as regions that are not currently used.
If the available cache region is found to be non-contiguous the
available region is adjusted to enforce validity.
When a new resource group is created the hardware is initialized with
these new default allocations.

When delivering a signal to a task that is using rseq, we call into
__rseq_handle_notify_resume() so that the registers pushed in the
sigframe are updated to reflect the state of the restartable sequence
(for example, ensuring that the signal returns to the abort handler if
necessary).
However, if the rseq management fails due to an unrecoverable fault when
accessing userspace or certain combinations of RSEQ_CS_* flags, then we
will attempt to deliver a SIGSEGV. This has the potential for infinite
recursion if the rseq code continuously fails on signal delivery.
Avoid this problem by using force_sigsegv() instead of force_sig(), which
is explicitly designed to reset the SEGV handler to SIG_DFL in the case
of a recursive fault. In doing so, remove rseq_signal_deliver() from the
internal rseq API and have an optional struct ksignal * parameter to
rseq_handle_notify_resume() instead.

The machine check timestamp uses get_seconds(), which returns an
'unsigned long' number that might overflow on 32-bit architectures (in
the distant future) and is therefore deprecated.
The normal replacement would be ktime_get_real_seconds(), but that needs
to use a sequence lock that might cause a deadlock if the MCE happens at
just the wrong moment. The __ktime_get_real_seconds() skips that lock
and is safer here, but has a miniscule risk of returning the wrong time
when we read it on a 32-bit architecture at the same time as updating
the epoch, i.e. from before y2106 overflow time to after, or vice versa.
This seems to be an acceptable risk in this particular case, and is the
same thing we do in kdb.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check from unknown source
This confused everybody because the first line quite clearly shows
that we found a logged error in "Bank 1", while the last line says
"unknown source".
The problem is that the Linux code doesn't do the right thing
for a local machine check that results in a fatal error.
It turns out that we know very early in the handler whether the
machine check is fatal. The call to mce_no_way_out() has checked
all the banks for the CPU that took the local machine check. If
it says we must crash, we can do so right away with the right
messages.
We do scan all the banks again. This means that we might initially
not see a problem, but during the second scan find something fatal.
If this happens we print a slightly different message (so I can
see if it actually every happens).

mce_no_way_out() does a quick check during #MC to see whether some of
the MCEs logged would require the kernel to panic immediately. And it
passes a struct mce where MCi_STATUS gets written.
However, after having saved a valid status value, the next iteration
of the loop which goes over the MCA banks on the CPU, overwrites the
valid status value because we're using struct mce as storage instead of
a temporary variable.
Which leads to MCE records with an empty status value:
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 6 Bank 0: 0000000000000000
mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffbd42fbd7> {trigger_mce+0x7/0x10}
In order to prevent the loss of the status register value, return
immediately when severity is a panic one so that we can panic
immediately with the first fatal MCE logged. This is also the intention
of this function and not to noodle over the banks while a fatal MCE is
already logged.
Tony: read the rest of the MCA bank to populate the struct mce fully.

save_stack_trace_reliable now returns "non reliable" when there are
kernel pt_regs on stack. This means an interrupt or exception happened
somewhere down the route. It is a problem for the frame pointer
unwinder, because the frame might not have been set up yet when the irq
happened, so the unwinder might fail to unwind from the interrupted
function.
With ORC, this is not a problem, as ORC has out-of-band data. We can
find ORC data even for the IP in the interrupted function and always
unwind one level up reliably.

Add a call to the new function to "adjust" the current fixed UV memory
block size of 2GB so it can be changed to a different physical boundary.
This accommodates changes in the Intel BIOS, and therefore UV BIOS,
which now can align boundaries different than the previous UV standard
of 2GB. It also flags any UV Global Address boundaries from BIOS that
cause a change in the mem block size (boundary).
The current boundary of 2GB has been used on UV since the first system
release in 2009 with Linux 2.6 and has worked fine. But the new NVDIMM
persistent memory modules (PMEM), along with the Intel BIOS changes to
support these modules caused the memory block size boundary to be set
to a lower limit. Intel only guarantees that this minimum boundary at
64MB though the current Linux limit is 128MB.
Note that the default remains 2GB if no changes occur.

nosmt on the kernel command line merely prevents the onlining of the
secondary SMT siblings.
nosmt=force makes the APIC detection code ignore the secondary SMT siblings
completely, so they even do not show up as possible CPUs. That reduces the
amount of memory allocations for per cpu variables and saves other
resources from being allocated too large.
This is not fully equivalent to disabling SMT in the BIOS because the low
level SMT enabling in the BIOS can result in partitioning of resources
between the siblings, which is not undone by just ignoring them. Some CPUs
can use the full resources when their sibling is not onlined, but this is
depending on the CPU family and model and it's not well documented whether
this applies to all partitioned resources. That means depending on the
workload disabling SMT in the BIOS might result in better performance.
Linus analysis of the Intel manual:
The intel optimization manual is not very clear on what the partitioning
rules are.
I find:
"In general, the buffers for staging instructions between major pipe
stages are partitioned. These buffers include µop queues after the
execution trace cache, the queues after the register rename stage, the
reorder buffer which stages instructions for retirement, and the load
and store buffers.
In the case of load and store buffers, partitioning also provided an
easier implementation to maintain memory ordering for each logical
processor and detect memory ordering violations"
but some of that partitioning may be relaxed if the HT thread is "not
active":
"In Intel microarchitecture code name Sandy Bridge, the micro-op queue
is statically partitioned to provide 28 entries for each logical
processor, irrespective of software executing in single thread or
multiple threads. If one logical processor is not active in Intel
microarchitecture code name Ivy Bridge, then a single thread executing
on that processor core can use the 56 entries in the micro-op queue"
but I do not know what "not active" means, and how dynamic it is. Some of
that partitioning may be entirely static and depend on the early BIOS
disabling of HT, and even if we park the cores, the resources will just be
wasted.

the security of the system ultimately depends on presence of mitigation in
the Hypervisor, which can't be easily detected from DomU; let's report
that.

Since int3 and debug exception(for singlestep) are run with
IRQ disabled and while running single stepping we drop IF
from regs->flags, that path must not be preemptible. So we
can remove the preempt disable/enable calls from that path.
