Subject[RFC PATCH v1 1/2] ACPI: APEI: Make memory_failure() triggered by synchronization errors execute in the current context
Date
The memory uncorrected error which is detected by an external component and
notified via an IRQ, can be called asynchronization error. If an error is
detected as a result of user-space process accessing a corrupt memory
location, the CPU may take an abort. On arm64 this is a
'synchronous external abort', and on a firmware first system it is notified
via NOTIFY_SEA, this can be called synchronization error.

Currently, synchronization error and asynchronization error both use
memory_failure_queue to schedule memory_failure() exectute in kworker
context. Commit 7f17b4a121d0 ("ACPI: APEI: Kick the memory_failure() queue
for synchronous errors") make task_work pending to flush out the queue,
cancel_work_sync() in memory_failure_queue_kick() will make
memory_failure() exectute in kworker context first which will get
synchronization error info from kfifo, so task_work later will get nothing
from kfifo which doesn't work as expected. Even worse, synchronization
error notification has NMI like properties, (it can interrupt IRQ-masked
code), task_work may get wrong kfifo entry from interrupted
asynchronization error which is notified by IRQ.

Since the memory_failure() triggered by a synchronous exception is
executed in the kworker context, the early_kill mode of memory_failure()
will send wrong si_code by SIGBUS signal: current process is kworker
thread, the actual user-space process accessing the corrupt memory location
will be collected by find_early_kill_thread(), and then send SIGBUS with
BUS_MCEERR_AO si_code to the actual user-space process instead of
BUS_MCEERR_AR. The machine-manager(kvm) use the si_code: BUS_MCEERR_AO for
'action optional' early notifications, and BUS_MCEERR_AR for
'action required' synchronous/late notifications.

Make memory_failure() triggered by synchronization errors execute in the
current context, we do not need workqueue for synchronization error
anymore, use task_work handle synchronization errors directly. Since,
synchronization errors and asynchronization errors share the same kfifo,
use MF_ACTION_REQUIRED flag to distinguish them. And the asynchronization
error keeps the same as before.
