powerpc/xive: Implement get_irqchip_state method for XIVE to fix shutdown race
Testing has revealed the existence of a race condition where a XIVE interrupt being shut down can be in one of the XIVE interrupt queues (of which there are up to 8 per CPU, one for each priority) at the point where free_irq() is called. If this happens, can return an interrupt number which has been shut down. This can lead to various symptoms: - irq_to_desc(irq) can be NULL. In this case, no end-of-interrupt function gets called, resulting in the CPU's elevated interrupt priority (numerically lowered CPPR) never gets reset. That then means that the CPU stops processing interrupts, causing device timeouts and other errors in various device drivers. - The irq descriptor or related data structures can be in the process of being freed as the interrupt code is using them. This typically leads to crashes due to bad pointer dereferences. This race is basically what commit 62e04686 ("genirq: Add optional hardware synchronization for shutdown", 2019-06-28) is intended to fix, given a get_irqchip_state() method for the interrupt controller being used. It works by polling the interrupt controller when an interrupt is being freed until the controller says it is not pending. With XIVE, the PQ bits of the interrupt source indicate the state of the interrupt source, and in particular the P bit goes from 0 to 1 at the point where the hardware writes an entry into the interrupt queue that this interrupt is directed towards. Normally, the code will then process the interrupt and do an end-of-interrupt (EOI) operation which will reset PQ to 00 (assuming another interrupt hasn't been generated in the meantime). However, there are situations where the code resets P even though a queue entry exists (for example, by setting PQ to 01, which disables the interrupt source), and also situations where the code leaves P at 1 after removing the queue entry (for example, this is done for escalation interrupts so they cannot fire again until they are explicitly re-enabled). The code already has a 'saved_p' flag for the interrupt source which indicates that a queue entry exists, although it isn't maintained consistently. This patch adds a 'stale_p' flag to indicate that P has been left at 1 after processing a queue entry, and adds code to set and clear saved_p and stale_p as necessary to maintain a consistent indication of whether a queue entry may or may not exist. With this, we can implement xive_get_irqchip_state() by looking at stale_p, saved_p and the ESB PQ bits for the interrupt. There is some additional code to handle escalation interrupts properly; because they are enabled and disabled in KVM assembly code, which does not have access to the xive_irq_data struct for the escalation interrupt. Hence, stale_p may be incorrect when the escalation interrupt is freed in kvmppc_xive_{,native_}cleanup_vcpu(). Fortunately, we can fix it up by looking at vcpu->arch.xive_esc_on, with some careful attention to barriers in order to ensure the correct result if xive_esc_irq() races with kvmppc_xive_cleanup_vcpu(). Finally, this adds code to make noise on the console (pr_crit and WARN_ON(1)) if we find an interrupt queue entry for an interrupt which does not have a descriptor. While this won't catch the race reliably, if it does get triggered it will be an indication that the race is occurring and needs to be debugged.
