[PATCH 0/3] x86/mce fixes

[Tony Luck]

The first two just get better error messages when we refuse to recover
from an error that the h/w says is recoverable because the error occurred
in a non-recoverable part of the kernel.

The third improves identification of Skylake SKUs that support
recovery.

  x86/mce: Improve error message when kernel cannot recover.
  x86/mce: Fix incorrect "Machine check from unknown source" message
  x86/mce: Check for alternate indication of machine check recovery on
    Skylake

[PATCH 1/3] x86/mce: Improve error message when kernel cannot recover.

[Tony Luck]

Since we added support to add recovery from some errors inside the kernel in:

commit b2f9d678e28c ("x86/mce: Check for faults tagged in EXTABLE_CLASS_FAULT exception table entries")

we have done a less than stellar job at reporting the cause of recoverable
machine checks that occur in other parts of the kernel. The user just gets
the unhelpful message:

	mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Action required: unknown MCACOD

doubly unhelpful when they check the manual for the reported IA32_MSR_STATUS.MCACOD
and see that it is listed as one of the standard recoverable values.

Add an extra rule to the MCE severity table to catch this case and report it
as:

	mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel

[PATCH 2/3] x86/mce: Fix incorrect "Machine check from unknown source" message

[Tony Luck]

Some injection testing resulted in the following console log:

 mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 22: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134
 mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffc05292dd> {pmem_do_bvec+0x11d/0x330 [nd_pmem]}
 mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC c51a63035d52 ADDR 3234bc4000 MISC 88

 mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
 Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check from unknown source

This confused everybody because the first line quite clearly shows
that we found a logged error in "Bank 1", while the last line says
"unknown source".

The problem is that the Linux code doesn't do the right thing
for a local machine check that results in a fatal error.

It turns out that we know very early in the handler whether the
machine check is fatal. The call to mce_no_way_out() has checked
all the banks for the CPU that took the local machine check. If
it says we must crash, we can do so right away with the right
messages.

We do scan all the banks again. This means that we might initially
not see a problem, but during the second scan find something fatal.
If this happens we print a slightly different message (so I can
see if it actually every happens).

Haha, this would still make you look at the code to remember was it
"fatal local" or "local fatal" the second one. Yeah, there's the "!" but
still.

How about:

	"Fatal local machine check after banks scan"

or so.

Btw, the code in do_machine_check() has become one helluva spaghetti
mess. It could use some clean up a bit... :)

V2: Boris:
	1) make the "different message" more descriptive. 
	2) don't bother reassigning "severity" variable.

It is still assigning. I'll simply do:

       if (worst >= MCE_PANIC_SEVERITY && mca_cfg.tolerant < 3) {
               mce_severity(&m, cfg->tolerant, &msg, true);
               mce_panic("Local fatal machine check!", &m, msg);
       }

when committing.

Btw, I did some cleaning up ontop. Please have a look and let me know if
it is too ugly to live... :)

I had put:

		(void) mce_severity(&m, cfg->tolerant, &msg, true);

but either works.

Couple of thoughts:

In "x86/mce: Carve out bank scanning code" you drop the extra
call to mce_severity() that I just added:

@@ -1310,10 +1318,8 @@ void do_machine_check(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code)
 		 * fatal error. We call "mce_severity()" again to
 		 * make sure we have the right "msg".

-			severity = mce_severity(&m, cfg->tolerant, &msg, true);
+		if (worst >= MCE_PANIC_SEVERITY && mca_cfg.tolerant < 3)
 			mce_panic("Local fatal machine check!", &m, msg);
-		}
 	}

But "msg" won't have been filled in with the right message to match
the error in "m" (__mc_scan_banks() doesn't update "msg").



In "x86/mce: Exit properly when no banks to poll" you
leap right to the end.  I'm wondering whether this can
ever happen? I mean, if there are no machine check banks,
then how did we get a machine check?

Both the original, and your new code, skip the:

	mce_wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_MCG_STATUS, 0);

which seems bad. That leaves MCG_STATUS.MCIP set ... so a second
machine check would just reset the machine.

I have no qualms taking it through the nvdimm tree with the rest of
the pending memcpy_mcsafe() updates. Just need an x86 maintainer ack.

Right, so this looks like some remnant from old times, lemme do some
archeology...

/me goes and dusts off the full history linux repo...

I found this:

commit 7dd1e1d805d15ca63d05badf40026629ba75cbc8
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date:   Tue Feb 24 17:58:41 2004 -0800

    [PATCH] New machine check handler for x86-64

and there's no mention why the !banks check is there.

I'm wondering if we should simply remove it. I mean, as you say, if
there are no MCA banks, we won't be running in here in the first
place...

That's a good point. It goes away as an issue if we simply drop the
check.

Simply hadn't reached it yet. I will take it too, eventually.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Remove !banks check

If we don't have MCA banks, we won't see machine checks anyway. Drop the
check.

If this doesn't affect mcelog parsing, would it make sense to change this from
"fatal" -> "Unrecoverable".. Fatal typically screams PCC=1 for x86, but
some of these cases are its Software recoverable, but just that Kernel 
isn't able to perform recovery.

Looking at this more while cleaning the whole thing up, that severity
doesn't get read anywhere past this line, AFAICT...

Just making the call to update "msg" (see comment). But you are right
that we don't need to update the severity variable. I'll fix that in
the re-spin to make the messages more than slightly different.

x86/mce: Fix incorrect "Machine check from unknown source" message

Some injection testing resulted in the following console log:

  mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 22: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 1: bd80000000100134
  mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffc05292dd> {pmem_do_bvec+0x11d/0x330 [nd_pmem]}
  mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC c51a63035d52 ADDR 3234bc4000 MISC 88
  mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:50654 TIME 1526502199 SOCKET 0 APIC 38 microcode 2000043
  mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii'
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Machine check from unknown source

This confused everybody because the first line quite clearly shows
that we found a logged error in "Bank 1", while the last line says
"unknown source".

The problem is that the Linux code doesn't do the right thing
for a local machine check that results in a fatal error.

It turns out that we know very early in the handler whether the
machine check is fatal. The call to mce_no_way_out() has checked
all the banks for the CPU that took the local machine check. If
it says we must crash, we can do so right away with the right
messages.

We do scan all the banks again. This means that we might initially
not see a problem, but during the second scan find something fatal.
If this happens we print a slightly different message (so I can
see if it actually every happens).

[PATCH 3/3] x86/mce: Check for alternate indication of machine check recovery on Skylake

[Tony Luck]

Currently we just check the "CAPID0" register to see whether the CPU
can recover from machine checks.

But there are also some special SKUs which do not have all advanced
RAS features, but do enable machine check recovery for use with NVDIMMs.

Add a check for any of bits {8:5} in the "CAPID5" register (each
reports some NVDIMM mode available, if any of them are set, then
the system supports memory machine check recovery).

Has this stalled somewhere?  I'd like to see this one go into the
4.18 merge because it unbreaks some real hardware.

Parts 1 & 2 are nice-to-have, but they just make for better error
messages so aren't as critical.

I'm making an effort to get all persistent memory error handling holes
covered this cycle, so I think it makes sense for this to go through
the nvdimm tree. This looks sufficiently non-controversial that I
could justify sending it to Linus along with the other pmem updates.

tglx just took 1 and 3, 2/3 had a minor issue but the merge window
happened so I'll send it later. It is nice to have anyway.

Did you fix up part 2/3?  I see 1 & 3 were staged by Thomas in
TIP ras/urgent and ras-urgent-for-linus but haven't gone into
Linus' tree yet.

You said "Parts 1 & 2 are nice-to-have" and we have merge window now. So
what exactly do you mean?

Merge window ain't over yet :)

"send it later" could be read a couple of ways.

I was just worried that Thomas is holding off asking Linus to pull
because he's waiting for part 2/3, while you might be planning to
hold onto part 2/3 for the next merge (and add the other cleanups
you RFC'd).

I'm OK either way on part 2/3 (it just makes for better error messages,
it doesn't fix any bugs).

Yes, and this is my understanding too - 2/3 is not urgent material so no
need to hurry that particular one.

I've picked it up already and please can we let stuff go through the right
trees? The worlds does not stop turning if a fix goes in 2 days later.

x86/mce: Check for alternate indication of machine check recovery on Skylake

Currently we just check the "CAPID0" register to see whether the CPU
can recover from machine checks.

But there are also some special SKUs which do not have all advanced
RAS features, but do enable machine check recovery for use with NVDIMMs.

Add a check for any of bits {8:5} in the "CAPID5" register (each
reports some NVDIMM mode available, if any of them are set, then
the system supports memory machine check recovery).
