[PATCH v14 3/8] arm64: add support for ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC

Ruidong Tian tianruidong at linux.alibaba.com
Mon May 18 01:49:47 PDT 2026


From: Tong Tiangen <tongtiangen at huawei.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_ERR_ZERO_MEM_ERR 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: handle EX_TYPE_UACCESS_CPY in fixup_exception_me()]
