Experimentally, certain crash kernels will triple fault very early after
starting if started with NMIs disabled. This was discovered when
experimenting with a debug keyhandler which deliberately created a
reentrant NMI, causing stack corruption.
Because of this discovered bug, and that the future changes to the NMI
handling will make the kexec path more fragile, take the time now to
bullet-proof the kexec behaviour to be safer in more circumstances.
This patch adds three new low level routines:
* nmi_crash
This is a special NMI handler for using during a kexec crash.
* enable_nmis
This function enables NMIs by executing an iret-to-self, to
disengage the hardware NMI latch.
* trap_nop
This is a no op handler which irets immediately. It is actually in
the middle of enable_nmis to reuse the iret instruction, without
having a single lone aligned iret inflating the code side.
And adds three new IDT entry helper routines:
* _write_gate_lower
This is a substitute for using cmpxchg16b to update a 128bit
structure at once. It assumes that the top 64 bits are unchanged
(and ASSERT()s the fact) and performs a regular write on the lower
64 bits.
* _set_gate_lower
This is functionally equivalent to the already present _set_gate(),
except it uses _write_gate_lower rather than updating both 64bit
values.
* _update_gate_addr_lower
This is designed to update an IDT entry handler only, without
altering any other settings in the entry. It also uses
_write_gate_lower.
The IDT entry helpers are required because:
* Is it unsafe to attempt a disable/update/re-enable cycle on the NMI
or MCE IDT entries.
* We need to be able to update NMI handlers without changing the IST
entry.
As a result, the new behaviour of the kexec_crash path is:
nmi_shootdown_cpus() will:
* Disable the crashing cpus NMI/MCE interrupt stack tables.
Disabling the stack tables removes race conditions which would lead
to corrupt exception frames and infinite loops. As this pcpu is
never planning to execute a sysret back to a pv vcpu, the update is
safe from a security point of view.
* Swap the NMI trap handlers.
The crashing pcpu gets the nop handler, to prevent it getting stuck in
an NMI context, causing a hang instead of crash. The non-crashing
pcpus all get the nmi_crash handler which is designed never to
return.
do_nmi_crash() will:
* Save the crash notes and shut the pcpu down.
There is now an extra per-cpu variable to prevent us from executing
this multiple times. In the case where we reenter midway through,
attempt the whole operation again in preference to not completing
it in the first place.
* Set up another NMI at the LAPIC.
Even when the LAPIC has been disabled, the ID and command registers
are still usable. As a result, we can deliberately queue up a new
NMI to re-interrupt us later if NMIs get unlatched. Because of the
call to __stop_this_cpu(), we have to hand craft self_nmi() to be
safe from General Protection Faults.
* Fall into infinite loop.
machine_kexec() will:
* Swap the MCE handlers to be a nop.
We cannot prevent MCEs from being delivered when we pass off to the
crash kernel, and the less Xen context is being touched the better.
* Explicitly enable NMIs.

Changes since v4:
* Change stale comments, spelling corrections and coding style changes.
Changes since v3:
* Added IDT entry helpers to safely update NMI/MCE entries.
Changes since v2:
* Rework the alteration of the stack tables to completely remove the
possibility of a PV domain getting very lucky with the "NMI or MCE in
a 1 instruction race window on sysret" and managing to execute code
in the hypervisor context.
* Make use of set_ist() from the previous patch in the series to avoid
open-coding the IST manipulation.
Changes since v1:
* Reintroduce atomic_dec(&waiting_for_crash_ipi); which got missed
during the original refactoring.
* Fold trap_nop into the middle of enable_nmis to reuse the iret.
* Expand comments in areas as per Tim's suggestions.
