From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 20:40:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/copy_mc: Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string()
The motivations to go rework memcpy_mcsafe() are that the benefit of doing slow and careful copies is obviated on newer CPUs, and that the current opt-in list of CPUs to instrument recovery is broken relative to those CPUs. There is no need to keep an opt-in list up to date on an ongoing basis if pmem/dax operations are instrumented for recovery by default. With recovery enabled by default the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to careful copying can be made a "fragile" opt-out. Where the "fragile" list takes steps to not consume poison across cachelines.
The discussion with Linus made clear that the current "_mcsafe" suffix was imprecise to a fault. The operations that are needed by pmem/dax are to copy from a source address that might throw #MC to a destination that may write-fault, if it is a user page.
So copy_to_user_mcsafe() becomes copy_mc_to_user() to indicate the separate precautions taken on source and destination. copy_mc_to_kernel() is introduced as a non-SMAP version that does not expect write-faults on the destination, but is still prepared to abort with an error code upon taking #MC.
The original copy_mc_fragile() implementation had negative performance implications since it did not use the fast-string instruction sequence to perform copies. For this reason copy_mc_to_kernel() fell back to plain memcpy() to preserve performance on platforms that did not indicate the capability to recover from machine check exceptions. However, that capability detection was not architectural and now that some platforms can recover from fast-string consumption of memory errors the memcpy() fallback now causes these more capable platforms to fail.
Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() as the fast default implementation of copy_mc_to_kernel() and finalize the transition of copy_mc_fragile() to be a platform quirk to indicate 'copy-carefully'. With this in place, copy_mc_to_kernel() is fast and recovery-ready by default regardless of hardware capability.
Thanks to Vivek for identifying that copy_user_generic() is not suitable as the copy_mc_to_user() backend since the #MC handler explicitly checks ex_has_fault_handler(). Thanks to the 0day robot for catching a performance bug in the x86/copy_mc_to_user implementation.
