loop nesting in alignment exception and machine check
Hi, I encountered a problem about a loop nesting occurred in manufacturing the alignment exception in machine check, trigger background is : problem: machine checkout or critical interrupt ->...->kbox_write[for recording last words] -> memcpy(irremap_addr, src,size):_GLOBAL(memcpy)... when we enter memcpy,a command 'dcbz r11,r6' will cause a alignment exception, in this situation,r11 loads the ioremap address,which leads to the alignment exception, then the command can not be process successfully,as we still in machine check.at the end ,it triggers a new irq machine check in irq handler function,a loop nesting begins. analysis: We have analysed a lot,but it still can not come to a reasonable description,in common,the alignment triggered in machine check context can still be collected into the Kbox after alignment exception be handled by handler function, but how does the machine checkout can be triggered in the handler fucntion for any causes? We print relevant registers as follow when first enter machine check and alignment exception handler function: MSR:0x2 MSR:0x0 SRR1:0x2 SRR1:0x21002 But the manual says SRR1 should be set to MSR(0x2),why that happened ? [cid:image001.jpg@01D58C0D.E496CFD0] Then a branch in handler function copy the SRR1 to MSR,this enble MSR[ME] and MSR[CE],system collapses. Conclusion: 1) why the alignment exception can not be handled in machine check ? 2) besides memcpy,any other function can cause the alignment exception ? We still recurrent it, the line as follows: Cpu dead lock->watch log->trigger fiq->kbox_write->memcpy->alignment exception->print last words. but for those problems as below,what the kbox printed is empty. --kbox restart:[ 10.147594] kbox verify fs magic fail kbox mem mabye destroyed, format it kbox: load OK lock-task: major[249] minor[0] -start show_destroyed_kbox_mem_head : 0010: 0020: 0030: 0040: 0050: 0060: 0070: 0080: 0090:

答复: 答复: loop nesting in alignment exception and machine check
Hi, Christophe I am sorry that we are in some troubles for some unpredictable problems when we replay and haven't given you a quick reply. I also want to ask does the phenomeon(use memcpy_toio when copy ioremap_address) only occurs in powerpc ? does any other arch also has the same problem ? we are in persuit of asking why this phenomenon happened. Our linux kernel version is 4.4. thanks very much. -邮件原件- 发件人: Christophe Leroy [mailto:christophe.le...@c-s.fr] 发送时间: 2019年10月31日 19:13 收件人: Wangshaobo (bobo) 抄送: chengjian (D) ; Libin (Huawei) ; Xiexiuqi ; zhangyi (F) 主题: Re: 答复: loop nesting in alignment exception and machine check Hi, Did you try ?
