Paul E. McKenney 2112a9df40 x86/nmi: Fix out-of-order NMI nesting checks & false positive warning 
[ Upstream commit f44075ecaf ]

The ->idt_seq and ->recv_jiffies variables added by:

  1a3ea611fc ("x86/nmi: Accumulate NMI-progress evidence in exc_nmi()")

... place the exit-time check of the bottom bit of ->idt_seq after the
this_cpu_dec_return() that re-enables NMI nesting.  This can result in
the following sequence of events on a given CPU in kernels built with
CONFIG_NMI_CHECK_CPU=y:

  o   An NMI arrives, and ->idt_seq is incremented to an odd number.
      In addition, nmi_state is set to NMI_EXECUTING==1.

  o   The NMI is processed.

  o   The this_cpu_dec_return(nmi_state) zeroes nmi_state and returns
      NMI_EXECUTING==1, thus opting out of the "goto nmi_restart".

  o   Another NMI arrives and ->idt_seq is incremented to an even
      number, triggering the warning.  But all is just fine, at least
      assuming we don't get so many closely spaced NMIs that the stack
      overflows or some such.

Experience on the fleet indicates that the MTBF of this false positive
is about 70 years.  Or, for those who are not quite that patient, the
MTBF appears to be about one per week per 4,000 systems.

Fix this false-positive warning by moving the "nmi_restart" label before
the initial ->idt_seq increment/check and moving the this_cpu_dec_return()
to follow the final ->idt_seq increment/check.  This way, all nested NMIs
that get past the NMI_NOT_RUNNING check get a clean ->idt_seq slate.
And if they don't get past that check, they will set nmi_state to
NMI_LATCHED, which will cause the this_cpu_dec_return(nmi_state)
to restart.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
