During a memcpy from a pmem device, if a machine check exception is generated we end up in a panic. In case of fsdax read, this should only result in a -EIO. Avoid MCE by implementing memcpy_mcsafe.

The last patch which adds a nop is only for testing on mambo, where r13 is not restored upon hitting vector 200. The memcpy code can be optimised by adding VMX optimizations and GAS macros can be used to enable code reusablity, which I will send as another series. --- Change-log: v5: * Don't use search_exception_tables since it searches for module exception tables also [Nicholas] * Fix commit message for patch 2 [Nicholas] v4: * Squash return remaining bytes patch to memcpy_mcsafe implemtation patch [christophe] * Access ok should be checked for copy_to_user_mcsafe() [christophe] v3: * Drop patch which enables DR/IR for external modules * Drop notifier call chain, we don't want to do that in real mode * Return remaining bytes from memcpy_mcsafe correctly * We no longer restore r13 for simulator tests, rather use a nop at vector 0x200 [workaround for simulator; not to be merged] v2: * Don't set RI bit explicitly [mahesh] * Re-ordered series to get r13 workaround as the last patch --- Balbir Singh (2): powerpc/mce: Fix MCE handling for huge pages powerpc/memcpy: Add memcpy_mcsafe for pmem Reza Arbab (1): powerpc/mce: Make machine_check_ue_event() static Santosh Sivaraj (3): extable: Add function to search only kernel exception table powerpc/mce: Handle UE event for memcpy_mcsafe powerpc: add machine check safe copy_to_user arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 1 + arch/powerpc/include/asm/mce.h | 7 +- arch/powerpc/include/asm/string.h | 2 + arch/powerpc/include/asm/uaccess.h | 14 ++ arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c | 16 +- arch/powerpc/kernel/mce_power.c | 41 +++-- arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile | 2 +- arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_mcsafe_64.S | 239 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c | 6 +- include/linux/extable.h | 2 + kernel/extable.c | 16 +- 11 files changed, 323 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_mcsafe_64.S -- 2.20.1
