x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface.

x86/copy_mc: Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() The motivations to go rework memcpy_mcsafe() are that the benefit of doing slow and careful copies is obviated on newer CPUs, and that the current opt-in list of CPUs to instrument recovery is broken relative to those CPUs. There is no need to keep an opt-in list up to date on an ongoing basis if pmem/dax operations are instrumented for recovery by default. With recovery enabled by default the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to careful copying can be made a "fragile" opt-out. Where the "fragile" list takes steps to not consume poison across cachelines. The discussion with Linus made clear that the current "_mcsafe" suffix was imprecise to a fault. The operations that are needed by pmem/dax are to copy from a source address that might throw #MC to a destination that may write-fault, if it is a user page. So copy_to_user_mcsafe() becomes copy_mc_to_user() to indicate the separate precautions taken on source and destination. copy_mc_to_kernel() is introduced as a non-SMAP version that does not expect write-faults on the destination, but is still prepared to abort with an error code upon taking #MC. The original copy_mc_fragile() implementation had negative performance implications since it did not use the fast-string instruction sequence to perform copies. For this reason copy_mc_to_kernel() fell back to plain memcpy() to preserve performance on platforms that did not indicate the capability to recover from machine check exceptions. However, that capability detection was not architectural and now that some platforms can recover from fast-string consumption of memory errors the memcpy() fallback now causes these more capable platforms to fail. Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() as the fast default implementation of copy_mc_to_kernel() and finalize the transition of copy_mc_fragile() to be a platform quirk to indicate 'copy-carefully'. With this in place, copy_mc_to_kernel() is fast and recovery-ready by default regardless of hardware capability. Thanks to Vivek for identifying that copy_user_generic() is not suitable as the copy_mc_to_user() backend since the #MC handler explicitly checks ex_has_fault_handler(). Thanks to the 0day robot for catching a performance bug in the x86/copy_mc_to_user implementation.

x86/copy_mc: Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() The motivations to go rework memcpy_mcsafe() are that the benefit of doing slow and careful copies is obviated on newer CPUs, and that the current opt-in list of CPUs to instrument recovery is broken relative to those CPUs. There is no need to keep an opt-in list up to date on an ongoing basis if pmem/dax operations are instrumented for recovery by default. With recovery enabled by default the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to careful copying can be made a "fragile" opt-out. Where the "fragile" list takes steps to not consume poison across cachelines. The discussion with Linus made clear that the current "_mcsafe" suffix was imprecise to a fault. The operations that are needed by pmem/dax are to copy from a source address that might throw #MC to a destination that may write-fault, if it is a user page. So copy_to_user_mcsafe() becomes copy_mc_to_user() to indicate the separate precautions taken on source and destination. copy_mc_to_kernel() is introduced as a non-SMAP version that does not expect write-faults on the destination, but is still prepared to abort with an error code upon taking #MC. The original copy_mc_fragile() implementation had negative performance implications since it did not use the fast-string instruction sequence to perform copies. For this reason copy_mc_to_kernel() fell back to plain memcpy() to preserve performance on platforms that did not indicate the capability to recover from machine check exceptions. However, that capability detection was not architectural and now that some platforms can recover from fast-string consumption of memory errors the memcpy() fallback now causes these more capable platforms to fail. Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() as the fast default implementation of copy_mc_to_kernel() and finalize the transition of copy_mc_fragile() to be a platform quirk to indicate 'copy-carefully'. With this in place, copy_mc_to_kernel() is fast and recovery-ready by default regardless of hardware capability. Thanks to Vivek for identifying that copy_user_generic() is not suitable as the copy_mc_to_user() backend since the #MC handler explicitly checks ex_has_fault_handler(). Thanks to the 0day robot for catching a performance bug in the x86/copy_mc_to_user implementation.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.
