All copy_to_user() implementations need to be prepared to handle faults accessing userspace. The __memcpy_mcsafe() implementation handles both mmu-faults on the user destination and machine-check-exceptions on the source buffer. However, the memcpy_mcsafe() wrapper may silently fallback to memcpy() depending on build options and cpu-capabilities. Force copy_to_user_mcsafe() to always use __memcpy_mcsafe() when available, and otherwise disable all of the copy_to_user_mcsafe() infrastructure when __memcpy_mcsafe() is not available, i.e. CONFIG_X86_MCE=n. This fixes crashes of the form: run fstests generic/323 at 2018-07-02 12:46:23 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00007f0d50001000 RIP: 0010:__memcpy+0x12/0x20 [..] Call Trace: copyout_mcsafe+0x3a/0x50 _copy_to_iter_mcsafe+0xa1/0x4a0 ? dax_alive+0x30/0x50 dax_iomap_actor+0x1f9/0x280 ? dax_iomap_rw+0x100/0x100 iomap_apply+0xba/0x130 ? dax_iomap_rw+0x100/0x100 dax_iomap_rw+0x95/0x100 ? dax_iomap_rw+0x100/0x100 xfs_file_dax_read+0x7b/0x1d0 [xfs] xfs_file_read_iter+0xa7/0xc0 [xfs] aio_read+0x11c/0x1a0 Fixes: 8780356ef630 ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Define copy_to_iter_mcsafe()") Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Ingo, Here is an additional copy_to_iter_mcsafe() fix to address the crash reported by Ross.
