A bus lock [1] is acquired either through split locked access to
writeback (WB) memory or by using locks to uncacheable (UC) memory
(e.g. direct device assignment). This is typically >1000 cycles slower
than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also disrupts performance
on other cores.
Although split lock can be detected by #AC trap, the trap is triggered
before the instruction acquires bus lock. This makes it difficult to
mitigate bus lock (e.g. throttle the user application).
Some CPUs have ability to notify the kernel by an #DB trap after a user
instruction acquires a bus lock and is executed. This allows the kernel
to enforce user application throttling or mitigations.
#DB for bus lock detect fixes issues in #AC for split lock detect:
1) It's architectural ... just need to look at one CPUID bit to know it
exists
2) The IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR, which reports bus lock in #DB, is per-thread.
So each process or guest can have different behavior.
3) It has support for VMM/guests (new VMEXIT codes, etc).
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.
Use the existing kernel command line option "split_lock_detect=" to handle
#DB for bus lock:
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 #DB
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 split_lock_detect is "warn".

Change Log:
RFC v3:
- Remove DR6_RESERVED change (PeterZ).
- Simplify the documentation (Randy).
RFC v2:
- Architecture changed based on feedback from Thomas and PeterZ. #DB is
no longer generated for bus lock in ring0.
- Split the one single patch into four patches.
[RFC v1 can be found at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/]

2.29.1
#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.
Delivery of #DB for bus lock in userspace clears DR6[11]. To avoid
confusion in identifying #DB, #DB handler sets the bit to 1 before
returning to the interrupted task.
Use the existing kernel command line option "split_lock_detect=" to handle
#DB for bus lock:
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 #DB
fatal Kernel OOPs Send SIGBUS to user
Send SIGBUS to user
When both features are
supported, fatal in #AC.
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.

You are right. Will fix it in the next version.
Thank you very much!
