Subject: [PATCH v15 4/9] arm64: enable recover from synchronous external abort in kernel context
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:21:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618092124.3901230-5-tianruidong@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618092124.3901230-1-tianruidong@linux.alibaba.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_SEA 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.

[Ruidong: modify subject and rename EX_TYPE_KACCESS_ERR_ZERO_MEM_ERR to
EX_TYPE_KACCESS_SEA]
