Subject: [PATCH v11 1/3] ACPI: APEI: send SIGBUS to current task if synchronous memory error not recovered
Synchronous error was detected as a result of user-space process accessing
a 2-bit uncorrected error. The CPU will take a synchronous error exception
such as Synchronous External Abort (SEA) on Arm64. The kernel will queue a
memory_failure() work which poisons the related page, unmaps the page, and
then sends a SIGBUS to the process, so that a system wide panic can be
avoided.
However, no memory_failure() work will be queued when abnormal synchronous
errors occur. These errors can include situations such as invalid PA,
unexpected severity, no memory failure config support, invalid GUID
section, etc. In such case, the user-space process will trigger SEA again.
This loop can potentially exceed the platform firmware threshold or even
trigger a kernel hard lockup, leading to a system reboot.
Fix it by performing a force kill if no memory_failure() work is queued
for synchronous errors.
