commit e629fc1407a63dbb748f828f9814463ffc2a0af0 upstream.

Errata SKX37 is word-for-word identical to the other errata listed in
this workaround.   I happened to notice this after investigating a CMCI
storm on a Skylake host.  While I can't confirm this was the root cause,
spurious corrected errors does sound like a likely suspect.

<title>x86/mce: Avoid infinite loop for copy from user recovery</title>

commit 81065b35e2486c024c7aa86caed452e1f01a59d4 upstream.

There are two cases for machine check recovery:

1) The machine check was triggered by ring3 (application) code.
   This is the simpler case. The machine check handler simply queues
   work to be executed on return to user. That code unmaps the page
   from all users and arranges to send a SIGBUS to the task that
   triggered the poison.

2) The machine check was triggered in kernel code that is covered by
   an exception table entry. In this case the machine check handler
   still queues a work entry to unmap the page, etc. but this will
   not be called right away because the #MC handler returns to the
   fix up code address in the exception table entry.

Problems occur if the kernel triggers another machine check before the
return to user processes the first queued work item.

Specifically, the work is queued using the -&gt;mce_kill_me callback
structure in the task struct for the current thread. Attempting to queue
a second work item using this same callback results in a loop in the
linked list of work functions to call. So when the kernel does return to
user, it enters an infinite loop processing the same entry for ever.

There are some legitimate scenarios where the kernel may take a second
machine check before returning to the user.

1) Some code (e.g. futex) first tries a get_user() with page faults
   disabled. If this fails, the code retries with page faults enabled
   expecting that this will resolve the page fault.

2) Copy from user code retries a copy in byte-at-time mode to check
   whether any additional bytes can be copied.

On the other side of the fence are some bad drivers that do not check
the return value from individual get_user() calls and may access
multiple user addresses without noticing that some/all calls have
failed.

Fix by adding a counter (current-&gt;mce_count) to keep track of repeated
machine checks before task_work() is called. First machine check saves
the address information and calls task_work_add(). Subsequent machine
checks before that task_work call back is executed check that the address
is in the same page as the first machine check (since the callback will
offline exactly one page).

Expected worst case is four machine checks before moving on (e.g. one
user access with page faults disabled, then a repeat to the same address
with page faults enabled ... repeat in copy tail bytes). Just in case
there is some code that loops forever enforce a limit of 10.

[ Upstream commit 3bff147b187d5dfccfca1ee231b0761a89f1eff5 ]

When a fatal machine check results in a system reset, Linux does not
clear the error(s) from machine check bank(s) - hardware preserves the
machine check banks across a warm reset.

During initialization of the kernel after the reboot, Linux reads, logs,
and clears all machine check banks.

But there is a problem. In:

  5de97c9f6d85 ("x86/mce: Factor out and deprecate the /dev/mcelog driver")

the call to mce_register_decode_chain() moved later in the boot
sequence. This means that /dev/mcelog doesn't see those early error
logs.

This was partially fixed by:

  cd9c57cad3fe ("x86/MCE: Dump MCE to dmesg if no consumers")

which made sure that the logs were not lost completely by printing
to the console. But parsing console logs is error prone. Users of
/dev/mcelog should expect to find any early errors logged to standard
places.

Add a new flag MCP_QUEUE_LOG to machine_check_poll() to be used in early
machine check initialization to indicate that any errors found should
just be queued to genpool. When mcheck_late_init() is called it will
call mce_schedule_work() to actually log and flush any errors queued in
the genpool.

 [ Based on an original patch, commit message by and completely
   productized by Tony Luck. ]

Now an action required MCE in already hwpoisoned address surely sends a
SIGBUS to current process, but the SIGBUS doesn't convey error virtual
address.  That's not optimal for hwpoison-aware applications.

To fix the issue, make memory_failure() call kill_accessing_process(),
that does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address.  It could find
multiple virtual addresses for the same error page, and it seems hard to
tell which virtual address is correct one.  But that's rare and sending
incorrect virtual address could be better than no address.  So let's
report the first found virtual address for now.

<title>x86/mce: Include a MCi_MISC value in faked mce logs</title>

When BIOS reports memory errors to Linux using the ACPI/APEI
error reporting method Linux creates a "struct mce" to pass
to the normal reporting code path.

The constructed record doesn't include a value for the "misc"
field of the structure, and so mce_usable_address() says this
record doesn't include a valid address.

Net result is that functions like uc_decode_notifier() will
just ignore this record instead of taking action to offline
a page.

Add the (HWID, MCATYPE) tuples and names for new SMCA bank types.

Also, add their respective error descriptions to the MCE decoding module
edac_mce_amd. Also while at it, optimize the string names for some SMCA
banks.

 [ bp: Drop repeated comments, explain why UMC_V2 is a separate entry. ]

Pull x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Turn the stack canary into a normal __percpu variable on 32-bit which
   gets rid of the LAZY_GS stuff and a lot of code.

 - Add an insn_decode() API which all users of the instruction decoder
   should preferrably use. Its goal is to keep the details of the
   instruction decoder away from its users and simplify and streamline
   how one decodes insns in the kernel. Convert its users to it.

 - kprobes improvements and fixes

 - Set the maximum DIE per package variable on Hygon

 - Rip out the dynamic NOP selection and simplify all the machinery
   around selecting NOPs. Use the simplified NOPs in objtool now too.

 - Add Xeon Sapphire Rapids to list of CPUs that support PPIN

 - Simplify the retpolines by folding the entire thing into an
   alternative now that objtool can handle alternatives with stack ops.
   Then, have objtool rewrite the call to the retpoline with the
   alternative which then will get patched at boot time.

 - Document Intel uarch per models in intel-family.h

 - Make Sub-NUMA Clustering topology the default and Cluster-on-Die the
   exception on Intel.
