[PATCH 0/2] ARM: Fix ARM_VECTORS with CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION

by Nathan Chancellor

Hi all, Christian sent a fix [1] for ARM_VECTORS with CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION that exposed a deficiency in ld.lld with regards to KEEP() within an OVERLAY description. I have fixed that in ld.lld [2] and added a patch before Christian's to disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION when KEEP() cannot be used within OVERLAY to keep everything working for all linkers.

[PATCH v2 1/2] regulator: dummy: force synchronous probing

by Christian Eggers

Sometimes I get a NULL pointer dereference at boot time in kobject_get() with the following call stack: anatop_regulator_probe() devm_regulator_register() regulator_register() regulator_resolve_supply() kobject_get() By placing some extra BUG_ON() statements I could verify that this is raised because probing of the 'dummy' regulator driver is not completed ('dummy_regulator_rdev' is still NULL). In the JTAG debugger I can see that dummy_regulator_probe() and anatop_regulator_probe() can be run by different kernel threads (kworker/u4:*). I haven't further investigated whether this can be changed or if there are other possibilities to force synchronization between these two probe routines. On the other hand I don't expect much boot time penalty by probing the 'dummy' regulator synchronously.

Its filename is mm-hwpoison-do-not-send-sigbus-to-processes-with-recovered-clean-pages.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patche… This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Shuai Xue <xueshuai(a)linux.alibaba.com> Subject: mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes with recovered clean pages Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 19:28:51 +0800 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 046545a661af ("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. If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure(). For dirty pages, memory_failure() invokes try_to_unmap() with the TTU_HWPOISON flag, converting the PTE to a hwpoison entry. As a result, kill_accessing_process(): - call walk_page_range() and return 1 regardless of whether try_to_unmap() succeeds or fails, - call kill_proc() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent - return -EHWPOISON to indicate that SIGBUS is already sent to the process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to send it again. However, for clean pages, the TTU_HWPOISON flag is cleared, leaving the PTE unchanged and not converted to a hwpoison entry. Conversely, for clean pages where PTE entries are not marked as hwpoison, kill_accessing_process() returns -EFAULT, causing kill_me_maybe() to send a SIGBUS. Console log looks like this: Memory failure: 0x827ca68: corrupted page was clean: dropped without side effects Memory failure: 0x827ca68: recovery action for clean LRU page: Recovered Memory failure: 0x827ca68: already hardware poisoned mce: Memory error not recovered To fix it, return 0 for "corrupted page was clean", preventing an unnecessary SIGBUS to user process.

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 4c132d1d844a ("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 046545a661af ("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 4c132d1d844a ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and commit 4c132d1d844a ("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.

It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within __node_reclaim(). It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit. The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within __node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from a prior node reclaim. This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g. x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g. arm64). Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic. This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

This problem was initially reported by Dimitris Siakavaras in July 2023 [1] in a firecracker use case. Firecracker has a separate process handling page faults remotely, and when the process releases the userfaultfd it can race with a concurrent GUP from KVM trying to fault in a guest page during the secondary MMU page fault process. A similar problem was reported recently again by Jinjiang Tu in March 2025 [2], even though the race happened this time with a mlockall() operation, which does GUP in a similar fashion. In 2017, commit 656710a60e36 ("userfaultfd: non-cooperative: closing the uffd without triggering SIGBUS") was trying to fix this issue. AFAIU, that fixes well the fault paths but may not work yet for GUP. In GUP, the issue is NOPAGE will be almost treated the same as "page fault resolved" in faultin_page(), then the GUP will follow page again, seeing page missing, and it'll keep going into a live lock situation as reported. This change makes core mm return RETRY instead of NOPAGE for both the GUP and fault paths, proactively releasing the mmap read lock. This should guarantee the other release thread make progress on taking the write lock and avoid the live lock even for GUP. When at it, rearrange the comments to make sure it's uptodate.
