[PATCH v8 10/15] x86/split_lock: Handle #AC exception for split lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There may be different considerations on how to handle #AC for split lock,
e.g. how to handle system hang caused by split lock issue in firmware,
how to emulate faulting instruction, etc. We use a simple method to
handle user and kernel split lock and may extend the method in the future.

When #AC exception for split lock is triggered from user process, the
process is killed by SIGBUS. To execute the process properly, a user
application developer needs to fix the split lock issue.

When #AC exception for split lock is triggered from a kernel instruction,
disable split lock detection on local CPU and warn the split lock issue.
After the exception, the faulting instruction will be executed and kernel
execution continues. Split lock detection is only disabled on the local
CPU, not globally. It will be re-enabled if the CPU is offline and then
online or through sysfs interface.

A kernel/driver developer should check the warning, which contains helpful
faulting address, context, and callstack info, and fix the split lock
issues. Then further split lock issues may be captured and fixed.

After bit 29 in MSR_TEST_CTL is set to 1 in kernel, firmware inherits
the setting when firmware is executed in S4, S5, run time services, SMI,
etc. If there is a split lock operation in firmware, it will triggers
#AC and may hang the system depending on how firmware handles the #AC.
It's up to a firmware developer to fix split lock issues in firmware.

MSR TEST_CTL value is cached in per CPU msr_test_ctl_cache which will be
used in virtualization to avoid costly MSR read.
