[PATCh 0/2] Add Intel Lunarlake to X86_BUG_MONITOR

[PATCh 0/2] Add Intel Lunarlake to X86_BUG_MONITOR

[Len Brown]

Early adopters of Intel Lunar Lake systems have noticed
unacceptable GUI delays.  This patch addresses those systems.

[PATCH] x86/cpu: Add INTEL_LUNARLAKE_M to X86_BUG_MONITOR

	Upstream patch, also applies to 6.11

[PATCH backport to 6.10] x86/cpu: Add INTEL_FAM6_LUNARLAKE_M to X86_BUG_MONITOR

	Backport to 6.10 for old model number scheme

[PATCH backport to 6.10] x86/cpu: Add INTEL_FAM6_LUNARLAKE_M to X86_BUG_MONITOR

[Len Brown]

From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Under some conditions, MONITOR wakeups on Lunar Lake processors
can be lost, resulting in significant user-visible delays.

Add LunarLake to X86_BUG_MONITOR so that wake_up_idle_cpu()
always sends an IPI, avoiding this potential delay.
Update the X86_BUG_MONITOR workaround to handle
the new smp_kick_mwait_play_dead() path.

You either fail to understand or intentionally ignore the process for
stable backports, which is in place since more than a decade.

Documentation/process/* has plenty of information how that works and
you're around long enough to know that already.

I don't care about you wasting your time, but I very much care about you
wasting my time to deal with pointless emails. I get plenty enough of
them every day.

The  __apic_send_IPI() call could be wrapped into something like
__native_smp_send_reschedule() to underline the analogy between this
and what happens in native_smp_send_reschedule().

It is still fine as is though IMV.

Going over that code again, mwait_play_dead() is doing __mwait(.exc=0)
with IRQs disabled.

So that IPI you're trying to send there won't do no nothing :-/

Now that comment there says MCE/NMI/SMI are still open (non-maskable
etc.) so perhaps prod it on the NMI vector?

This does seem to suggest the above code path wasn't actually tested.
Perhaps mark your local machine with BUG_MONITOR, remove the md->control
WRITE_ONCE() and try kexec to test it?

Thomas, any other thoughts?

And the APIC is shut down. So it won't react on the IPI either.

I'm not sure whether that's just a suggestion :)

NMI should work. See exc_nmi():

	if (arch_cpu_is_offline(smp_processor_id())) {
		if (microcode_nmi_handler_enabled())
			microcode_offline_nmi_handler();
		return;
	}

[PATCH 0/1 v2] x86/cpu: Add INTEL_LUNARLAKE_M to X86_BUG_MONITOR

[Len Brown]

It was folly to respond to review feedback by attempting to add bits
to the kexec path to this simple patch.  So that misguided hunk is removed.

Here is the 1-line patch that addresses the problem that users see
in the field today.

If kexec proves to be an issue on LNL, that can be addressed
in a subsequent patch.

thanks,

Well, the advice always given is to follow the coding style of the

checkpatch reflects the preferences of its author is this particular

How is this supposed to work?

The local APIC of the offline CPU is shut down and only responds to
INIT, NMI, SMI, and SIPI.

Even if the APIC would react to the IPI, then the offline CPU would not
notice as is has interrupts disabled when it reaches mwait_play_dead().

Seriously?
