There are several errata on Intel regarding the usage of the MONITOR/MWAIT instructions, all having in common that stores to the monitored region might not wake up the CPU. Fix them by forcing the sending of an IPI for the affected models. The Ice Lake issue has been reproduced internally on XenServer hardware, and the fix does seem to prevent it. The symptom was APs getting stuck in the idle loop immediately after bring up, which in turn prevented the BSP from making progress. This would happen before the watchdog was initialized, and hence the whole system would get stuck. Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Apollo and Lunar Lake fixes have not been tested, due to lack of hardware. --- Changes since v1: - Only probe for the errata at boot. - Use Intel model names instead of raw values. - Make force_mwait_ipi_wakeup __ro_after_init. --- xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c | 6 ++++++ xen/arch/x86/cpu/intel.c | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- xen/arch/x86/include/asm/mwait.h | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c b/xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c index 420198406def..1dbf15b01ed7 100644 --- a/xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/acpi/cpu_idle.c @@ -441,8 +441,14 @@ void cpuidle_wakeup_mwait(cpumask_t *mask) cpumask_andnot(mask, mask, &target); } +/* Force sending of a wakeup IPI regardless of mwait usage. */ +bool __ro_after_init force_mwait_ipi_wakeup; + bool arch_skip_send_event_check(unsigned int cpu) { + if ( force_mwait_ipi_wakeup ) + return false; + /* * This relies on softirq_pending() and mwait_wakeup() to access data * on the same cache line. diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/cpu/intel.c b/xen/arch/x86/cpu/intel.c index 6a680ba38dc9..6c8377d08428 100644 --- a/xen/arch/x86/cpu/intel.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/cpu/intel.c @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ #include <asm/intel-family.h> #include <asm/processor.h> #include <asm/msr.h> +#include <asm/mwait.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> #include <asm/mpspec.h> #include <asm/apic.h> @@ -368,7 +369,6 @@ static void probe_c3_errata(const struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(0x25), { } }; -#undef INTEL_FAM6_MODEL /* Serialized by the AP bringup code. */ if ( max_cstate > 1 && (c->apicid & (c->x86_num_siblings - 1)) && @@ -380,6 +380,38 @@ static void probe_c3_errata(const struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) } } +/* + * APL30: One use of the MONITOR/MWAIT instruction pair is to allow a logical + * processor to wait in a sleep state until a store to the armed address range + * occurs.
