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.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
