Subject: [PATCH v14 01/14] x86/mce: Fix hardware debug register corruption on task migration
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:27:03 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178810002334.64882.15357388305843450280.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178810001186.64882.2161016469449127450.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
In exc_machine_check_user(), local_db_save() and local_db_restore() are
invoked in the outer entry stubs (DEFINE_IDTENTRY_MCE_USER,
DEFINE_FREDENTRY_MCE, and DEFINE_IDTENTRY_RAW), surrounding
exc_machine_check_user().
However, exc_machine_check_user() calls irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(),
which handles pending thread work and may schedule() if TIF_NEED_RESCHED
is set. If the task migrates to another CPU during schedule(),
local_db_restore() runs on the new CPU with the dr7 state saved from the
old CPU. This corrupts the new CPU's DR7 hardware debug register and
leaves the old CPU's DR7 disabled.
In short, local_db_save() and local_db_restore() pair must be run
on the same CPU.
To fix this, move local_db_save() and local_db_restore() inside
exc_machine_check_user() and exc_machine_check_kernel() so that DR7
is saved and restored strictly around do_machine_check().
Fixes: cd840e424f27 ("x86/entry, mce: Disallow #DB during #MC")
