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 uaccess for example, if the uaccess operation fails due to memory
error, only the user process will be affected. Killing the user process and
isolating the corrupt page is a better choice.

This patch only enable machine error check framework and adds an exception
fixup before the kernel panic in do_sea().

Can we please replace 'mc' with something like 'memory_error' ?

There's no "machine check" on arm64, and 'mc' is opaque regardless.

OK, It's more appropriate to use "memory_error" on arm64.

As with my comment on the subsequenty patch, I'd much prefer that we handle
EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO from the outset.

OK, In the next version, the two patches will be merged.

This function is called "arm64_do_kernel_sea"; surely the caller should *never*
call this for a SEA taken from user mode?

In do_sea(), the processing logic is as follows:
do_sea()
{
[...]
if (user_mode(regs) && apei_claim_sea(regs) == 0) {
return 0;
}
[...]
//[1]
if (!arm64_do_kernel_sea()) {
arm64_notify_die();
}
}

[1] user_mode() is still possible to go here,If user_mode() goes here,
it indicates that the impact caused by the memory error cannot be
processed correctly by apei_claim_sea().


In this case, only arm64_notify_die() can be used, This also maintains
the original logic of user_mode()'s processing.

I think this needs a comment; why do we allow kthreads to go on, yet kill user
threads? What about helper threads (e.g. for io_uring)?

If a memroy error occurs in the kernel thread, the problem is more
serious than that of the user thread. As a result, related kernel
functions, such as khugepaged, cannot run properly. kernel panic should
be a better choice at this time.

Therefore, the processing scope of this framework is limited to the user thread.

+ set_thread_esr(0, esr);

Why do we set the ESR to 0?

The purpose is to reuse the logic of arm64_notify_die() and set the following parameters before sending signals to users:
current->thread.fault_address = 0;
current->thread.fault_code = err;

I looked at the git log and found that the logic was added by this
commit:


9141300a5884 (“arm64: Provide read/write fault information in compat signal handlers”)

According to the description of commit message, the purpose seems to be
for aarch32.

Many thanks.
Tong.
