Tony Luck a2dff37b0c UPSTREAM: mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on write faults
commit a873dfe103 upstream.

Patch series "Copy-on-write poison recovery", v3.

Part 1 deals with the process that triggered the copy on write fault with
a store to a shared read-only page.  That process is send a SIGBUS with
the usual machine check decoration to specify the virtual address of the
lost page, together with the scope.

Part 2 sets up to asynchronously take the page with the uncorrected error
offline to prevent additional machine check faults.  H/t to Miaohe Lin
<linmiaohe@huawei.com> and Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> for
pointing me to the existing function to queue a call to memory_failure().

On x86 there is some duplicate reporting (because the error is also
signalled by the memory controller as well as by the core that triggered
the machine check).  Console logs look like this:

This patch (of 2):

If the kernel is copying a page as the result of a copy-on-write
fault and runs into an uncorrectable error, Linux will crash because
it does not have recovery code for this case where poison is consumed
by the kernel.

It is easy to set up a test case. Just inject an error into a private
page, fork(2), and have the child process write to the page.

I wrapped that neatly into a test at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/ras-tools.git

just enable ACPI error injection and run:

  # ./einj_mem-uc -f copy-on-write

Add a new copy_user_highpage_mc() function that uses copy_mc_to_kernel()
on architectures where that is available (currently x86 and powerpc).
When an error is detected during the page copy, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON
to caller of wp_page_copy(). This propagates up the call stack. Both x86
and powerpc have code in their fault handler to deal with this code by
sending a SIGBUS to the application.

Note that this patch avoids a system crash and signals the process that
triggered the copy-on-write action. It does not take any action for the
memory error that is still in the shared page. To handle that a call to
memory_failure() is needed. But this cannot be done from wp_page_copy()
because it holds mmap_lock(). Perhaps the architecture fault handlers
can deal with this loose end in a subsequent patch?

On Intel/x86 this loose end will often be handled automatically because
the memory controller provides an additional notification of the h/w
poison in memory, the handler for this will call memory_failure(). This
isn't a 100% solution. If there are multiple errors, not all may be
logged in this way.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.

        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch
