x86/traps: Handle #DB for bus lock
Bus locks degrade performance for the whole system, not just for the CPU
that requested the bus lock. Two CPU features "#AC for split lock" and
"#DB for bus lock" provide hooks so that the operating system may choose
one of several mitigation strategies.
#AC for split lock is already implemented. Add code to use the #DB for
bus lock feature to cover additional situations with new options to
mitigate.
split_lock_detect=
#AC for split lock #DB for bus lock
off Do nothing Do nothing
warn Kernel OOPs Warn once per task and
Warn once per task and and continues to run.
disable future checking
When both features are
supported, warn in #AC
fatal Kernel OOPs Send SIGBUS to user.
Send SIGBUS to user
When both features are
supported, fatal in #AC
ratelimit:N Do nothing Limit bus lock rate to
N per second in the
current non-root user.
Default option is "warn".
Hardware only generates #DB for bus lock detect when CPL>0 to avoid
nested #DB from multiple bus locks while the first #DB is being handled.
So no need to handle #DB for bus lock detected in the kernel.
#DB for bus lock is enabled by bus lock detection bit 2 in DEBUGCTL MSR
while #AC for split lock is enabled by split lock detection bit 29 in
TEST_CTRL MSR.
Both breakpoint and bus lock in the same instruction can trigger one #DB.
The bus lock is handled before the breakpoint in the #DB handler.
Delivery of #DB for bus lock in userspace clears DR6[11], which is set by
the #DB handler right after reading DR6.
