Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] Update mce_record tracepoint

This patchset updates the mce_record tracepoint so that the recently added
fields of struct mce are exported through it to userspace.

The first patch adds PPIN (Protected Processor Inventory Number) field to
the tracepoint.

The second patch adds the microcode field (Microcode Revision) to the
tracepoint.

Changes in v2:
- Export microcode field (Microcode Revision) through the tracepoiont in
addition to PPIN.

Changes in v3:
- Change format specifier for microcode revision from %u to %x
- Fix tab alignments
- Add Reviewed-by: Sohil Mehta <[email protected]>

Changes in v4:
- Update commit messages to reflect the reason for the fields being
added to the tracepoint.
- Add comment to explicitly state the type of information that should
be added to the tracepoint.
- Add Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <[email protected]>

[NOTE:

- Since only a comment has been added and only the commit messages have
been reworked i.e. no code changes have been undertaken for this
version, have the retained the below tags from v3:

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] tracing: Include PPIN in mce_record tracepoint

Machine Check Error information from struct mce is exported to userspace
through the mce_record tracepoint.

Currently, however, the PPIN (Protected Processor Inventory Number) field
of struct mce is not exported through the tracepoint.

Export PPIN through the tracepoint as it provides a unique identifier for
the system (or socket in case of multi-socket systems) on which the MCE
has been received.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] tracing: Include Microcode Revision in mce_record tracepoint

Currently, the microcode field (Microcode Revision) of struct mce is not
exported to userspace through the mce_record tracepoint.

Knowing the microcode version on which the MCE was received is critical
information for debugging. If the version is not recorded, later attempts
to acquire the version might result in discrepancies since it can be
changed at runtime.

Export microcode version through the tracepoint to prevent ambiguity over
the active version on the system when the MCE was received.

You could probably get rid of the word REVISION in the interest of
brevity similar to __print_mce().

pr_emerg(HW_ERR "PROCESSOR %u:%x TIME %llu SOCKET %u APIC %x microcode
%x\n",
m->cpuvendor, m->cpuid, m->time, m->socketid, m->apicid,

You *definitely* want to do that - good catch.

And TBH, all the screaming words aren't helping either... :)

:) I thought the same as well. But, I felt inconsistently screaming
words might be worse. Maybe just update all the words that are not
acronyms (such as Processor, Time, Socket, etc.)

Are you suggesting to change the ALL CAPS format of words which are
not acronyms to normal Capitalization style? Like Sohit suggested
in his other mail on this thread?

Somewhat like below:

SOCKET -> Socket
PROCESSOR -> Processor
MICROCODE -> Microcode

SOCKET -> socket
PROCESSOR -> processor
MICROCODE -> microcode

And yeah, the acronyms need to obviously stay in all caps.
