[PATCH v4] x86/split_lock: Sanitize userspace and guest error output

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Tue Jun 16 2020 - 07:27:50 EST


There are two problems with kernel messages in fatal mode that were found
during testing of guests and userspace programs.

The first is that no kernel message is output when the split lock detector
is triggered with a userspace program. As a result the userspace process
dies from receiving SIGBUS with no indication to the user of what caused
the process to die.

The second problem is that only the first triggering guest causes a kernel
message to be output because the message is output with pr_warn_once().
This also results in a loss of information to the user.

While fixing these I noticed that the same message was being output
three times so I'm cleaning that up too.

Fix fatal mode output, and use consistent messages for fatal and
warn modes for both userspace and guests.
