hulk inclusion category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I69VF6 CVE: NA
--------------------------------
If kdump is enabled, when using mce_inject to inject errors, EFI boot loader would decompress & load second kernel for saving the vmcore file.
For normal errors that is fine. However, in the MCE case, the panic CPU that firstly enters into mce_panic() is running within NMI interrupt context, and the processor blocks delivery of subsequent NMIs until the next execution of the IRET instruction.
When the panic CPU takes long time in the panic processing route, and causes the watchdog timeout, at this moment, the processor already receives NMI interrupt in the background.
In the reproducer sequence below, panic CPU would run into EFI loader and raise page fault exception (like visiting `vidmem` variable when attempting to call debug_putstr()), the CPU would execute IRET instruction when it exits from the page fault handler.
But the loader never registers handler for NMI vector in IDT, lack of vector handler would cause reboot, which interrupts kdump procedure and fails to save the vmcore file.
Here is steps to reproduce the above issue (it's sporadic):
1. # cat uncorrected CPU 1 BANK 4 STATUS uncorrected 0xc0 MCGSTATUS EIPV MCIP ADDR 0x1234 RIP 0xdeadbabe RAISINGCPU 0 MCGCAP SER CMCI TES 0x6 2. # modprobe mce_inject 3. # mce-inject uncorrected
For increasing the probability of reproduction of this issue, there are two ways to increase the probability of the bug:
1. modify the threshold value of watchdog (increase NMI frequency); 2. and/or add delays before panic() in mce_panic() and modify PANIC_TIMEOUT macro;
