[PATCH v1] x86/apic: Fix kernel panic when "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" are set
Posted by Dheeraj Kumar Srivastava 2 years, 7 months ago 
x2APIC mode requires "Interrupt Remapping" to be enabled and the
"physical x2apic" driver can be used only when x2APIC mode is enabled.
However when "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" kernel command line
parameters are passed, "physical x2apic" driver is being used even when
x2APIC mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode).
This results in the below kernel panic:

  unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x80f at rIP: 0xffffffff87eab4ec
  (native_read_msr+0xc/0x40)
  Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  native_apic_msr_read+0x1f/0x30
  setup_local_APIC+0x4e/0x380
  ? zen_untrain_ret+0x1/0x1

  x86_64_start_kernel+0xbf/0x110
  secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x10b/0x10b
  </TASK>

This is due to an incorrect conditional check in x2apic_phys_probe().
Fix it here by returning 0 when "x2apic_mode" is not set in
x2apic_phys_probe(). This now prevents default_setup_apic_routing() from
selecting "physical x2apic" driver.

Not a kernel panic - that's a warning about accessing a non-existent
MSR.

Can you send full dmesg? Privately is fine too.

How exactly do you trigger this? What hw?

Thx.

Hi! Good catch! In long term I think we could switch to use x2apic_state variable
instead since at the moment the code is somehow hard to read and remember which exactly
deps are to be satisfied to enable x2apic mode.

It's on my todo list for a very long time. Unfortunately that list is
growing only into one direction...

x86/apic: Fix kernel panic when booting with intremap=off and x2apic_phys

When booting with "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" on the kernel command
line, the physical x2APIC driver ends up being used even when x2APIC
mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode). This happens
because the first compound condition check in x2apic_phys_probe() is
false due to x2apic_mode == 0 and so the following one returns true
after default_acpi_madt_oem_check() having already selected the physical
x2APIC driver.

This results in the following panic:

   kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:2409!
   invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
   CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc2-ver4.1rc2 #2
   Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R6515/07PXPY, BIOS 2.3.6 07/06/2021
   RIP: 0010:setup_IO_APIC+0x9c/0xaf0

    start_kernel

    x86_64_start_kernel
    secondary_startup_64_no_verify
    </TASK>

which is:

setup_IO_APIC:
  apic_printk(APIC_VERBOSE, "ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs\n");
  for_each_ioapic(ioapic)
  	BUG_ON(mp_irqdomain_create(ioapic));

Return 0 to denote that x2APIC has not been enabled when probing the
physical x2APIC driver.
