[PATCH v7 00/10] x86: Add support for NMI-source reporting with FRED

[Sohil Mehta <sohil.mehta@intel.com>]

Changes since v6
================
This series is a minor update from v6, with the following changes:

 * Includes a pre-patch to provide separate KVM IRQ and NMI entry
   wrappers for FRED (Sean).
 * Uses an enum to allocate NMI-source vectors (DaveH).
 * Picks up review tags from Xin.
 * Rebased on top of 6.16-rc1.

The patchset seems to be maturing, so while reviewing this version, please 
consider providing Acks and Review tags if the patches look okay.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250513203803.2636561-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com/

Background
==========
NMI-source reporting with FRED [1] provides a new mechanism for
identifying the source of NMIs. As part of the FRED event delivery
framework, a 16-bit vector bitmap is provided that identifies one or
more sources that caused the NMI.

Using the source bitmap, the kernel can precisely run the relevant NMI
handlers instead of polling the entire NMI handler list. Additionally,
the source information would be invaluable for debugging misbehaving
handlers and unknown NMIs.

Overview of NMI-source usage
============================
Code snippets:

// Allocate a static source vector at compile time
#define NMIS_VECTOR_TEST	1

// Register an NMI handler with the vector
register_nmi_handler(NMI_LOCAL, test_handler, 0, "nmi_test", NMIS_VECTOR_TEST);

// Generate an NMI with the source vector using NMI encoded delivery
__apic_send_IPI_mask(cpumask, APIC_DM_NMI | NMIS_VECTOR_TEST);

// Handle an NMI with or without the source information (oversimplified)
source_bitmap = fred_event_data(regs);
if (!source_bitmap || (source_bitmap & BIT(NMIS_VECTOR_TEST)))
	test_handler();

// Unregister handler along with the vector
unregister_nmi_handler(NMI_LOCAL, "nmi_test");

Patch structure
===============
Patch 1-3: Prepare FRED/KVM and enumerate NMI-source reporting
Patch 4-6: Register and handle NMI-source vectors 
Patch 7-9: APIC changes to generate NMIs with vectors
Patch  10: Improve debug print with NMI-source information

Many thanks to Sean Christopherson, Xin Li, H. Peter Anvin, Andi Kleen,
Tony Luck, Kan Liang, Jacob Pan Jun, Zeng Guang, Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das, Steven Rostedt, Dave Hansen and others for their
contributions, reviews and feedback.

Future work
===========
I am considering a few additional changes related to debugging and
tracing, as well as KVM support, that would be valuable for enhancing
NMI handling in the kernel.
