If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta) [ Upstream commit 9bf6ee7952c7ee151c30e0fffcfc61b58127c899 ] With KPTI, VBAR_EL1 holds the trampoline vectors from the return to EL0 until the next exception from EL0 maps the kernel and installs the kernel vectors. The trampoline vectors only handle exceptions from EL0; their current-EL half is zero-filled. An SDEI event is dispatched regardless of PSTATE.DAIF, so it lands there whenever the CPU is in user space. The SDEI entry trampoline maps the kernel but leaves VBAR_EL1 alone. An exception taken by the handler then executes the zeros, takes an undefined instruction exception to the same vector, and loops there forever. The event never completes and the CPU is lost; RCU stall reports are the first sign of it. RAS notifications land in user space whenever a task consumes the error, and NMI backtraces land wherever the CPU happens to be. The GHES handler takes no exception on its own, but any exception in the handler path does it: a WARN, a kprobe hit, or a fault fixed up by a _nofault() accessor. Install the kernel vectors in __sdei_handler() when VBAR_EL1 holds the trampoline vectors, and restore it before returning to firmware. The switch covers irqentry_nmi_enter() and irqentry_nmi_exit() too, as Usama Arif pointed out: their tracepoints and context tracking WARNs can take an exception as well. The IRQ-like resume into user space must still go through the trampoline to map the kernel. do_sdei_event() takes the interrupted VBAR_EL1 and keeps basing the resume address on it.
