Patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling",
v4.
## 1. What am I trying to do:
This patchset resolves two critical regressions related to memory failure
handling that have appeared in the upstream kernel since version 5.17, as
compared to 5.10 LTS.
- copyin case: poison found in user page while kernel copying from user space
- instr case: poison found while instruction fetching in user space
## 2. What is the expected outcome and why
- For copyin case:
Kernel can recover from poison found where kernel is doing get_user() or
copy_from_user() if those places get an error return and the kernel return
-EFAULT to the process instead of crashing. More specifily, MCE handler
checks the fixup handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC can be
recovered. When EX_TYPE_UACCESS is found, the PC jumps to recovery code
specified in _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() and return a -EFAULT to user space.
- For instr case:
If a poison found while instruction fetching in user space, full recovery
is possible. User process takes #PF, Linux allocates a new page and fills
by reading from storage.
## 3. What actually happens and why
- For copyin case: kernel panic since v5.17
Commit 4c132d1d84 ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and later patches updated the
extable fixup type for copy-from-user operations, changing it from
EX_TYPE_UACCESS to EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. It breaks previous EX_TYPE_UACCESS
handling when posion found in get_user() or copy_from_user().
- For instr case: user process is killed by a SIGBUS signal due to #CMCI
and #MCE race
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA
signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when
the data is about to be consumed.
### Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1]
Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that
detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a
broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action
Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because
it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that
bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE
interrupts and finally become an IERR.
Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub
from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to
#CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in
uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA*
signature name.
### Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in
Intel platform [1]
Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors,
the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is
executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference
between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if
an error is found in any read.
Thus:
1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a
speculative read.
2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read
request
3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the
core that will soon try to retire the load from address A.
Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory
controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction
reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page
(marking it as poison).
## Why user process is killed for instr case
Commit 046545a661 ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported
"not recovered"") tries to fix noise message "Memory error not recovered"
and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race. But it also introduced a bug
that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result,
kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process.
# 4. The fix, in my opinion, should be:
- For copyin case:
The key point is whether the error context is in a read from user memory.
We do not care about the ex-type if we know its a MOV reading from
userspace.
is_copy_from_user() return true when both of the following two checks are
true:
- the current instruction is copy
- source address is user memory
If copy_user is true, we set
m->kflags |= MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN | MCE_IN_KERNEL_RECOV;
Then do_machine_check() will try fixup_exception() first.
- For instr case: let kill_accessing_process() return 0 to prevent a SIGBUS.
- For patch 3:
The return value of memory_failure() is quite important while discussed
instr case regression with Tony and Miaohe for patch 2, so add comment
about the return value.
This patch (of 3):
Commit 4c132d1d84 ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new
extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and commit 4c132d1d84
("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") updated the extable fixup type for
copy-from-user operations, changing it from EX_TYPE_UACCESS to
EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. The error context for copy-from-user operations no
longer functions as an in-kernel recovery context. Consequently, the
error context for copy-from-user operations no longer functions as an
in-kernel recovery context, resulting in kernel panics with the message:
"Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel."
To address this, it is crucial to identify if an error context involves a
read operation from user memory. The function is_copy_from_user() can be
utilized to determine:
- the current operation is copy
- when reading user memory
When these conditions are met, is_copy_from_user() will return true,
confirming that it is indeed a direct copy from user memory. This check
is essential for correctly handling the context of errors in these
operations without relying on the extable fixup types that previously
allowed for in-kernel recovery.
So, use is_copy_from_user() to determine if a context is copy user directly.

CPUID leaf 0x2's one-byte TLB descriptors report the number of entries
for specific TLB types, among other properties.
Typically, each emitted descriptor implies the same number of entries
for its respective TLB type(s). An emitted 0x63 descriptor is an
exception: it implies 4 data TLB entries for 1GB pages and 32 data TLB
entries for 2MB or 4MB pages.
For the TLB descriptors parsing code, the entry count for 1GB pages is
encoded at the intel_tlb_table[] mapping, but the 2MB/4MB entry count is
totally ignored.
Update leaf 0x2's parsing logic 0x2 to account for 32 data TLB entries
for 2MB/4MB pages implied by the 0x63 descriptor.

I still have some Soekris net4826 in a Community Wireless Network I
volunteer with. These devices use an AMD SC1100 SoC. I am running
OpenWrt on them, which uses a patched kernel, that naturally has
evolved over time. I haven't updated the ones in the field in a
number of years (circa 2017), but have one in a test bed, where I have
intermittently tried out test builds.
A few years ago, I noticed some trouble, particularly when "warm
booting", that is, doing a reboot without removing power, and noticed
the device was hanging after the kernel message:
[ 0.081615] Working around Cyrix MediaGX virtual DMA bugs.
If I removed power and then restarted, it would boot fine, continuing
through the message above, thusly:
[ 0.081615] Working around Cyrix MediaGX virtual DMA bugs.
[ 0.090076] Enable Memory-Write-back mode on Cyrix/NSC processor.
[ 0.100000] Enable Memory access reorder on Cyrix/NSC processor.
[ 0.100070] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.110058] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0, 1GB 0
[ 0.120037] CPU: NSC Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi (family: 0x5, model: 0x9, stepping: 0x1)
[...]
In order to continue using modern tools, like ssh, to interact with
the software on these old devices, I need modern builds of the OpenWrt
firmware on the devices. I confirmed that the warm boot hang was still
an issue in modern OpenWrt builds (currently using a patched linux
v6.6.65).
Last night, I decided it was time to get to the bottom of the warm
boot hang, and began bisecting. From preserved builds, I narrowed down
the bisection window from late February to late May 2019. During this
period, the OpenWrt builds were using 4.14.x. I was able to build
using period-correct Ubuntu 18.04.6. After a number of bisection
iterations, I identified a kernel bump from 4.14.112 to 4.14.113 as
the commit that introduced the warm boot hang.
07aaa7e3d6
Looking at the upstream changes in the stable kernel between 4.14.112
and 4.14.113 (tig v4.14.112..v4.14.113), I spotted a likely suspect:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=20afb90f730982882e65b01fb8bdfe83914339c5
So, I tried reverting just that kernel change on top of the breaking
OpenWrt commit, and my warm boot hang went away.
Presumably, the warm boot hang is due to some register not getting
cleared in the same way that a loss of power does. That is
approximately as much as I understand about the problem.
More poking/prodding and coaching from Jonas Gorski, it looks
like this test patch fixes the problem on my board: Tested against
v6.6.67 and v4.14.113.

There are cases when it is useful to use both ACPI and DTB provided by
the bootloader, however in such cases we should make sure to prevent
conflicts between the two. Namely, don't try to use DTB for SMP setup
if ACPI is enabled.
Precisely, this prevents at least:
- incorrectly calling register_lapic_address(APIC_DEFAULT_PHYS_BASE)
after the LAPIC was already successfully enumerated via ACPI, causing
noisy kernel warnings and probably potential real issues as well
- failed IOAPIC setup in the case when IOAPIC is enumerated via mptable
instead of ACPI (e.g. with acpi=noirq), due to
mpparse_parse_smp_config() overridden by x86_dtb_parse_smp_config()

In [1] the meaning of the synthetic IBPB flags has been redefined for a
better separation of concerns:
- ENTRY_IBPB -- issue IBPB on entry only
- IBPB_ON_VMEXIT -- issue IBPB on VM-Exit only
and the Retbleed mitigations have been updated to match this new
semantics.
Commit [2] was merged shortly before [1], and their interaction was not
handled properly. This resulted in IBPB not being triggered on VM-Exit
in all SRSO mitigation configs requesting an IBPB there.
Specifically, an IBPB on VM-Exit is triggered only when
X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is set. However:
- X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is not set for "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb",
because before [1] having X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB was enough. Hence,
an IBPB is triggered on entry but the expected IBPB on VM-exit is
not.
- X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT is not set also when
"spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb-vmexit" if X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB is
already set.
That's because before [1] this was effectively redundant. Hence, e.g.
a "retbleed=ibpb spec_rstack_overflow=bpb-vmexit" config mistakenly
reports the machine still vulnerable to SRSO, despite an IBPB being
triggered both on entry and VM-Exit, because of the Retbleed selected
mitigation config.
- UNTRAIN_RET_VM won't still actually do anything unless
CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY is set.
For "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb", enable IBPB on both entry and VM-Exit
and clear X86_FEATURE_RSB_VMEXIT which is made superfluous by
X86_FEATURE_IBPB_ON_VMEXIT. This effectively makes this mitigation
option similar to the one for 'retbleed=ibpb', thus re-order the code
for the RETBLEED_MITIGATION_IBPB option to be less confusing by having
all features enabling before the disabling of the not needed ones.
For "spec_rstack_overflow=ibpb-vmexit", guard this mitigation setting
with CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY to ensure UNTRAIN_RET_VM sequence is
effectively compiled in. Drop instead the CONFIG_MITIGATION_SRSO guard,
since none of the SRSO compile cruft is required in this configuration.
Also, check only that the required microcode is present to effectively
enabled the IBPB on VM-Exit.
Finally, update the KConfig description for CONFIG_MITIGATION_IBPB_ENTRY
to list also all SRSO config settings enabled by this guard.

loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:

On some systems, the same CPU (with the same APIC ID) is assigned a
different logical CPU id after commit ec9aedb2aa ("x86/acpi: Ignore
invalid x2APIC entries").
This means that Linux enumerates the CPUs in a different order, which
violates ACPI specification[1] that states:
"OSPM should initialize processors in the order that they appear in
the MADT"
The problematic commit parses all LAPIC entries before any x2APIC
entries, aiming to ignore x2APIC entries with APIC ID < 255 when valid
LAPIC entries exist. However, it disrupts the CPU enumeration order on
systems where x2APIC entries precede LAPIC entries in the MADT.
Fix this problem by:
1) Parsing LAPIC entries first without registering them in the
topology to evaluate whether valid LAPIC entries exist.
2) Restoring the MADT in order parser which invokes either the LAPIC
or the X2APIC parser function depending on the entry type.
The X2APIC parser still ignores entries < 0xff in case that #1 found
valid LAPIC entries independent of their position in the MADT table.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() by providing a
generic implementation and replacing the copy & pasta orgy in the
relevant architectures.
- Prevent unconditional operations on interrupt chips during kexec
shutdown, which can trigger warnings in certain cases when the
underlying interrupt has been shut down before.
- Make the enforcement of interrupt handling in interrupt context
unconditionally available, so that it actually works for non x86
related interrupt chips. The earlier enablement for ARM GIC chips set
the required chip flag, but did not notice that the check was hidden
behind a config switch which is not selected by ARM[64].
- Decrapify the handling of deferred interrupt affinity setting.
Some interrupt chips require that affinity changes are made from the
context of handling an interrupt to avoid certain race conditions.
For x86 this was the default, but with interrupt remapping this
requirement was lifted and a flag was introduced which tells the core
code that affinity changes can be done in any context. Unrestricted
affinity changes are the default for the majority of interrupt chips.
RISCV has the requirement to add the deferred mode to one of it's
interrupt controllers, but with the original implementation this
would require to add the any context flag to all other RISC-V
interrupt chips. That's backwards, so reverse the logic and require
that chips, which need the deferred mode have to be marked
accordingly. That avoids chasing the 'sane' chips and marking them.
- Add multi-node support to the Loongarch AVEC interrupt controller
driver.
- The usual tiny cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place.

Pull misc x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
- The first part of a restructuring of AMD's representation of a
northbridge which is legacy now, and the creation of the new AMD node
concept which represents the Zen architecture of having a collection
of I/O devices within an SoC. Those nodes comprise the so-called data
fabric on Zen.
This has at least one practical advantage of not having to add a PCI
ID each time a new data fabric PCI device releases. Eventually, the
lot more uniform provider of data fabric functionality amd_node.c
will be used by all the drivers which need it
- Smaller cleanups

Pull x86 SEV updates from Borislav Petkov:
- A segmented Reverse Map table (RMP) is a across-nodes distributed
table of sorts which contains per-node descriptors of each node-local
4K page, denoting its ownership (hypervisor, guest, etc) in the realm
of confidential computing. Add support for such a table in order to
improve referential locality when accessing or modifying RMP table
entries
- Add support for reading the TSC in SNP guests by removing any
interference or influence the hypervisor might have, with the goal of
making a confidential guest even more independent from the hypervisor
