<title>x86/mce: Do not overwrite no_way_out if mce_end() fails</title>

Currently, if mce_end() fails, no_way_out - the variable denoting
whether the machine can recover from this MCE - is determined by whether
the worst severity that was found across the MCA banks associated with
the current CPU, is of panic severity.

However, at this point no_way_out could have been already set by
mca_start() after looking at all severities of all CPUs that entered the
MCE handler. If mce_end() fails, check first if no_way_out is already
set and, if so, stick to it, otherwise use the local worst value.

<title>task_work: cleanup notification modes</title>

A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.

Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
  notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
  that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
  notification.

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.

   encounter an MCE in kernel space but while copying from user memory
   by sending them a SIGBUS on return to user space and umapping the
   faulty memory, by Tony Luck and Youquan Song.

 - memcpy_mcsafe() rework by splitting the functionality into
   copy_mc_to_user() and copy_mc_to_kernel(). This, as a result, enables
   support for new hardware which can recover from a machine check
   encountered during a fast string copy and makes that the default and
   lets the older hardware which does not support that advance recovery,
   opt in to use the old, fragile, slow variant, by Dan Williams.

 - New AMD hw enablement, by Yazen Ghannam and Akshay Gupta.

 - Do not use MSR-tracing accessors in #MC context and flag any fault
   while accessing MCA architectural MSRs as an architectural violation
   with the hope that such hw/fw misdesigns are caught early during the
   hw eval phase and they don't make it into production.

 - Misc fixes, improvements and cleanups, as always.

All instructions copying data between kernel and user memory
are tagged with either _ASM_EXTABLE_UA or _ASM_EXTABLE_CPY
entries in the exception table. ex_fault_handler_type() returns
EX_HANDLER_UACCESS for both of these.

Recovery is only possible when the machine check was triggered
on a read from user memory. In this case the same strategy for
recovery applies as if the user had made the access in ring3. If
the fault was in kernel memory while copying to user there is no
current recovery plan.

For MOV and MOVZ instructions a full decode of the instruction
is done to find the source address. For MOVS instructions
the source address is in the %rsi register. The function
fault_in_kernel_space() determines whether the source address is
kernel or user, upgrade it from "static" so it can be used here.

Existing kernel code can only recover from a machine check on code that
is tagged in the exception table with a fault handling recovery path.

Add two new fields in the task structure to pass information from
machine check handler to the "task_work" that is queued to run before
the task returns to user mode:

+ mce_vaddr: will be initialized to the user virtual address of the fault
  in the case where the fault occurred in the kernel copying data from
  a user address.  This is so that kill_me_maybe() can provide that
  information to the user SIGBUS handler.

+ mce_kflags: copy of the struct mce.kflags needed by kill_me_maybe()
  to determine if mce_vaddr is applicable to this error.

Add code to recover from a machine check while copying data from user
space to the kernel. Action for this case is the same as if the user
touched the poison directly; unmap the page and send a SIGBUS to the task.

Use a new helper function to share common code between the "fault
in user mode" case and the "fault while copying from user" case.

New code paths will be activated by the next patch which sets
MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN.

Avoid a proliferation of ex_has_*_handler() functions by having just
one function that returns the type of the handler (if any).

Drop the __visible attribute for this function. It is not called
from assembler so the attribute is not necessary.

<title>x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()</title>

<content type='text'>
In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason.
  &gt; &gt; It works because the exception on the source address due to poison
  &gt; &gt; looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the
  &gt; &gt; caller, it's still just a short copy. So it makes copy_to_user() work
  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.

Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

  &gt; &gt; However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason.
  &gt; &gt; It works because the exception on the source address due to poison
  &gt; &gt; looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the
  &gt; &gt; caller, it's still just a short copy. So it makes copy_to_user() work
  &gt; &gt; for the wrong reason relative to the name.
  &gt;
  &gt; Right.
  &gt;
  &gt; And it won't work that way on other architectures. On x86, we have a
  &gt; generic function that can take faults on either side, and we use it
  &gt; for both cases (and for the "in_user" case too), but that's an
  &gt; artifact of the architecture oddity.
  &gt;
  &gt; In fact, it's probably wrong even on x86 - because it can hide bugs -
  &gt; but writing those things is painful enough that everybody prefers
  &gt; having just one function.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().

Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.

One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

<title>x86/mce: Drop AMD-specific "DEFERRED" case from Intel severity rule list</title>

Way back in v3.19 Intel and AMD shared the same machine check severity
grading code. So it made sense to add a case for AMD DEFERRED errors in
commit

  e3480271f592 ("x86, mce, severity: Extend the the mce_severity mechanism to handle UCNA/DEFERRED error")

But later in v4.2 AMD switched to a separate grading function in
commit

  bf80bbd7dcf5 ("x86/mce: Add an AMD severities-grading function")

Belatedly drop the DEFERRED case from the Intel rule list.
