This series continues Tong Tiangen's work on arm64 ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC
support. We encounter the same problem, and from a forward-looking
perspective, large-memory ARM machines such as Grace and Vera will suffer
more from this class of issues, which motivates us to push this feature
upstream.

Problem
=========
With the increase of memory capacity and density, the probability of memory
error also increases. The increasing size and density of server RAM in data
centers and clouds have shown increased uncorrectable memory errors.

Currently, more and more scenarios that can tolerate memory errors, such as
COW[1,2], KSM copy[3], coredump copy[4], khugepaged[5,6], uaccess copy[7],
etc.

Solution
=========

This patchset introduces a new processing framework on ARM64, which enables
ARM64 to support error recovery in the above scenarios, and more scenarios
can be expanded based on this in the future.

In arm64, memory error handling in do_sea(), which is divided into two cases:
1. If the user state consumed the memory errors, the solution is to kill
the user process and isolate the error page.
2. If the kernel state consumed the memory errors, the solution is to
panic.

For case 2, Undifferentiated panic may not be the optimal choice, as it can
be handled better. In some scenarios, we can avoid panic, such as uaccess,
if the uaccess fails due to memory error, only the user process will be
affected, returning an error to the caller and isolating the user page with
hardware memory errors is a better choice.

[1] commit d302c2398ba2 ("mm, hwpoison: when copy-on-write hits poison, take page offline")
[2] commit 1cb9dc4b475c ("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults")
[3] commit 6b970599e807 ("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from ksm_might_need_to_copy()")
[4] commit 245f09226893 ("mm: hwpoison: coredump: support recovery from dump_user_range()")
[5] commit 98c76c9f1ef7 ("mm/khugepaged: recover from poisoned anonymous memory")
[6] commit 12904d953364 ("mm/khugepaged: recover from poisoned file-backed memory")
[7] commit 278b917f8cb9 ("x86/mce: Add _ASM_EXTABLE_CPY for copy user access")

------------------
Test result:

Tested on Kunpeng 920.

1. copy_page(), copy_mc_page() basic function test pass, and the disassembly
contents remains the same before and after refactor.

2. copy_to/from_user() access kernel NULL pointer raise translation fault
and dump error message then die(), test pass.

3. Test following scenarios: copy_from_user(), get_user(), COW.

Before patched: trigger a hardware memory error then panic.
After patched: trigger a hardware memory error without panic.

Testing step:
step1. start an user-process.
step2. poison(einj) the user-process's page.
step3: user-process access the poison page in kernel mode, then trigger SEA.
step4: the kernel will not panic, only the user process is killed, the poison
page is isolated. (before patched, the kernel will panic in do_sea())

The above tests can also be reproduced using ras-tools, which provides
einj-based injection and validation for uaccess and COW scenarios.
Example usage:

einj_mem_uc futex # get_user
einj_mem_uc copyin # copy_to_user
einj_mem_uc copy-on-write # COW

------------------

Benefits
=========
According to Huawei's statistics from their storage products, memory errors
triggered in kernel-mode by COW and page cache read (uaccess) scenarios
account for more than 50%. With this patchset deployed, all kernel panics
caused by COW and page cache memory errors are eliminated.
Alibaba Cloud has also observed memory errors occurring in uaccess contexts.

Since V13:
1. Changed MC-safe functions to return an error rather than kill the user
process. When a user program invokes a syscall and the kernel encounters
a memory error during uaccess, killing the process is unexpected; the
syscall should return an error.
2. Added FEAT_MOPS support for the copy_page_mc paths.
3. Refactored copy_page() and memcpy() on top of the shared memcpy_template,
reducing duplicated assembly code.

Since v12:
Thanks to the suggestions of Jonathan, Mark, and Mauro, the following modifications
are made:
1. Rebase to latest kernel version.
2. Patch1, add Jonathan's and Mauro's review-by.
3. Patch2, modified do_apei_claim_sea() according to Mark's and Jonathan's suggestions,
and optimized the commit message according to Mark's suggestions(Added description of
the impact on regular copy_to_user()).
4. Patch3, optimized the commit message according to Mauro's suggestions and add Jonathan's
review-by.
5. Patch4, modified copy_mc_user_highpage() and Optimized the commit message according to
Jonathan's suggestions(no functional changes).
6. Patch5, optimized the commit message according to Mauro's suggestions.
7. Patch4/5, FEAT_MOPS is added to the code logic. Currently, the fixup is not performed
on the MOPS instruction.
8. Remove patch6 in v12 according to Jonathan's suggestions.

Since v11:
1. Rebase to latest kernel version 6.9-rc1.
2. Add patch 5, Since the problem described in "Since V10 Besides 3" has
been solved in a50026bdb867 ('iov_iter: get rid of 'copy_mc' flag').
3. Add the benefit of applying the patch set to our company to the description of patch0.

Since V10:
Accroding Mark's suggestion:
1. Merge V10's patch2 and patch3 to V11's patch2.
2. Patch2(V11): use new fixup_type for ld* in copy_to_user(), fix fatal
issues (NULL kernel pointeraccess) been fixup incorrectly.
3. Patch2(V11): refactoring the logic of do_sea().
4. Patch4(V11): Remove duplicate assembly logic and remove do_mte().

Besides:
1. Patch2(V11): remove st* insn's fixup, st* generally not trigger memory error.
2. Split a part of the logic of patch2(V11) to patch5(V11), for detail,
see patch5(V11)'s commit msg.
3. Remove patch6(v10) “arm64: introduce copy_mc_to_kernel() implementation”.
During modification, some problems that cannot be solved in a short
period are found. The patch will be released after the problems are
solved.
4. Add test result in this patch.
5. Modify patchset title, do not use machine check and remove "-next".

Since V9:
1. Rebase to latest kernel version 6.8-rc2.
2. Add patch 6/6 to support copy_mc_to_kernel().

Since V8:
1. Rebase to latest kernel version and fix topo in some of the patches.
2. According to the suggestion of Catalin, I attempted to modify the
return value of function copy_mc_[user]_highpage() to bytes not copied.
During the modification process, I found that it would be more
reasonable to return -EFAULT when copy error occurs (referring to the
newly added patch 4).

For ARM64, the implementation of copy_mc_[user]_highpage() needs to
consider MTE. Considering the scenario where data copying is successful
but the MTE tag copying fails, it is also not reasonable to return
bytes not copied.
3. Considering the recent addition of machine check safe support for
multiple scenarios, modify commit message for patch 5 (patch 4 for V8).

Since V7:
Currently, there are patches supporting recover from poison
consumption for the cow scenario[1]. Therefore, Supporting cow
scenario under the arm64 architecture only needs to modify the relevant
code under the arch/.
[1]https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221031201029.1...@intel.com/

Since V6:
Resend patches that are not merged into the mainline in V6.

Since V5:
1. Add patch2/3 to add uaccess assembly helpers.
2. Optimize the implementation logic of arm64_do_kernel_sea() in patch8.
3. Remove kernel access fixup in patch9.
All suggestion are from Mark.

Since V4:
1. According Michael's suggestion, add patch5.
2. According Mark's suggestiog, do some restructuring to arm64
extable, then a new adaptation of machine check safe support is made based
on this.
3. According Mark's suggestion, support machine check safe in do_mte() in
cow scene.
4. In V4, two patches have been merged into -next, so V5 not send these
two patches.

Since V3:
1. According to Robin's suggestion, direct modify user_ldst and
user_ldp in asm-uaccess.h and modify mte.S.
2. Add new macro USER_MC in asm-uaccess.h, used in copy_from_user.S
and copy_to_user.S.
3. According to Robin's suggestion, using micro in copy_page_mc.S to
simplify code.
4. According to KeFeng's suggestion, modify powerpc code in patch1.
5. According to KeFeng's suggestion, modify mm/extable.c and some code
optimization.

Since V2:
1. According to Mark's suggestion, all uaccess can be recovered due to
memory error.
2. Scenario pagecache reading is also supported as part of uaccess
(copy_to_user()) and duplication code problem is also solved.
Thanks for Robin's suggestion.
3. According Mark's suggestion, update commit message of patch 2/5.
4. According Borisllav's suggestion, update commit message of patch 1/5.

Since V1:
1.Consistent with PPC/x86, Using CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC instead of
ARM64_UCE_KERNEL_RECOVERY.
2.Add two new scenes, cow and pagecache reading.
3.Fix two small bug(the first two patch).

When a GHES SEA (Synchronous External Abort) fires while the CPU
was executing in kernel mode, it typically means that kernel code
itself consumed a poisoned memory location -- e.g. copy_from_user()
/ copy_to_user() invoked from a ioctl() or write() syscall touched
a poisoned user page or page-cache page on behalf of the task.

The expected behaviour in that case is that the faulting kernel
helper returns via its extable fixup and the syscall returns an
error (e.g. -EFAULT) to user space. It is NOT appropriate to deliver
SIGBUS to the current task: the task did not directly dereference
the poisoned address, the kernel did on its behalf, and the kernel
is able to recover.

Up to now ghes_handle_memory_failure() unconditionally promoted any
synchronous recoverable memory error to MF_ACTION_REQUIRED, which
ends up SIGBUS on current -- regardless of whether the poison was
consumed from user space or from inside the kernel on the task's
behalf. That kills tasks that should instead have seen a plain
syscall error.

To fix this, the execution mode in which the exception was taken
must be captured at the arch-level entry point, where pt_regs (and
hence user_mode(regs)) are still available. The estatus node that
later drains the error in IRQ / process context no longer has
access to the original regs.

Introduce:

enum context { NO_USE = -1, IN_KERNEL = 0, IN_USER = 1 };

and plumb the value all the way down to the queued estatus node:

* Add an 'enum context context' field to struct ghes_estatus_node
and record it in ghes_in_nmi_queue_one_entry().
* Extend ghes_notify_sea() and the internal
ghes_in_nmi_spool_from_list() with an enum context parameter.

Then consume the recorded context in ghes_handle_memory_failure()
for the GHES_SEV_RECOVERABLE / sync path:

flags = sync && context == IN_USER ? MF_ACTION_REQUIRED : 0;

i.e. MF_ACTION_REQUIRED (and thus SIGBUS via the task_work path) is
only raised for user-mode poison consumption. Synchronous errors
taken in kernel mode fall back to memory_failure_queue() with
flags=0, asynchronously isolating the poisoned page while letting
the faulting kernel helper's extable fixup return -EFAULT
to user space.

Paths that pass NO_USE are unaffected:
sync is false for them, so flags stays 0 as before.

From: Tong Tiangen <tongt...@huawei.com>

For the arm64 kernel, when it processes hardware memory errors for
synchronize notifications(do_sea()), if the errors is consumed within the
kernel, the current processing is panic. However, it is not optimal.

Take copy_from/to_user for example, If ld* triggers a memory error, even in
kernel mode, only the associated process is affected. Killing the user
process and isolating the corrupt page is a better choice.

Add new fixup type EX_TYPE_KACCESS_ERR_ZERO_MEM_ERR to identify insn
that can recover from memory errors triggered by access to kernel memory,
and this fixup type is used in __arch_copy_to_user(), This make the regular
copy_to_user() will handle kernel memory errors.

From: Tong Tiangen <tongt...@huawei.com>

Currently, copy_mc_[user]_highpage() returns zero on success, or in case
of failures, the number of bytes that weren't copied.

While tracking the number of not copied works fine for x86 and PPC, There
are some difficulties in doing the same thing on ARM64 because there is no
available caller-saved register in copy_page()(lib/copy_page.S) to save
"bytes not copied", and the following copy_mc_page() will also encounter
the same problem.

Consider the caller of copy_mc_[user]_highpage() cannot do any processing
on the remaining data(The page has hardware errors), they only check if
copy was succeeded or not, make the interface more generic by using an
error code when copy fails (-EFAULT) or return zero on success.

From: Tong Tiangen <tongt...@huawei.com>

Currently, many scenarios that can tolerate memory errors when copying page
have been supported in the kernel[1~5], all of which are implemented by
copy_mc_[user]_highpage(). arm64 should also support this mechanism.

Due to mte, arm64 needs to have its own copy_mc_[user]_highpage()
architecture implementation, macros __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_MC_HIGHPAGE and
__HAVE_ARCH_COPY_MC_USER_HIGHPAGE have been added to control it.

Add new helper copy_mc_page() which provide a page copy implementation with
hardware memory error safe. The code logic of copy_mc_page() is the same as
copy_page(), the main difference is that the ldp insn of copy_mc_page()
contains the fixup type EX_TYPE_KACCESS_ERR_ZERO_MEM_ERR, therefore, the
main logic is extracted to copy_page_template.S. In addition, the fixup of
MOPS insn is not considered at present.

Add KUnit tests for copy_page() and copy_mc_page(), modeled after
the existing memcpy_test() style: a static page-aligned src and a
two-page dst, filled with random bytes plus non-zero edges, then
verify byte-for-byte equality and that the adjacent page is
untouched. The copy_mc_page() case additionally checks the return
value is 0 on clean memory and is gated on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC.

From: Tong Tiangen <tongt...@huawei.com>

The copy_mc_to_kernel() helper is memory copy implementation that handles
source exceptions. It can be used in memory copy scenarios that tolerate
hardware memory errors(e.g: pmem_read/dax_copy_to_iter).

Currently, only x86 and ppc support this helper, Add this for ARM64 as
well, if ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC is defined, by implementing copy_mc_to_kernel()
and memcpy_mc() functions.

Because there is no caller-saved GPR is available for saving "bytes not
copied" in memcpy(), the memcpy_mc() is referenced to the implementation
of copy_from_user(). In addition, the fixup of MOPS insn is not considered
at present.

[Ruidong: refactor memcpy_mc on top of the new memcpy implementation.]

memcpy_mc() is the Machine-Check safe memcpy variant that returns the
number of bytes NOT copied on a hardware memory error, or 0 on success.

Add two test cases modeled after the existing memcpy_test() and
memcpy_large_test() implementations:

We have encountered more scenarios and have made more enhancements, eg,

658be46520ce mm: support poison recovery from copy_present_page()
aa549f923f5e mm: support poison recovery from do_cow_fault()
f00b295b9b61 fs: hugetlbfs: support poisoned recover from
hugetlbfs_migrate_folio()
060913999d7a mm: migrate: support poisoned recover from migrate folio

Hope that the architecture-related sections can receive relevant reviews
and responses.

Thanks.
