Subject: [PATCH v5] cper, apei, mce: Pass x86 CPER through the MCA handling chain

Linux Kernel uses ACPI Boot Error Record Table (BERT) to report fatal
errors that occurred in a previous boot. The MCA errors in the BERT are
reported using the x86 Processor Error Common Platform Error Record (CPER)
format. Currently, the record prints out the raw MSR values and AMD relies
on the raw record to provide MCA information.

Extract the raw MSR values of MCA registers from the BERT and feed it into
the standard mce_log() function through the existing x86/MCA RAS
infrastructure. This will result in better decoding from the EDAC MCE
decoder or the default notifier.

The implementation is SMCA specific as the raw MCA register values are
given in the register offset order of the MCAX address space.

[ Fix a build breakage in patch v1. ]
Reported-by: kernel test robot <[email protected]>

v5:
Included check to determine if register array size is large
enough to hold all the registers which we want to extract.
Used already defined MSR_AMD64_SMCA_MC0_STATUS.
v4:
Included what kernel test robot reported.
Changed function name from apei_mce_report_x86_error ->
apei_smca_report_x86_error.
Added comment for MASK_MCA_STATUS definition.
Wrapped apei_smca_report_x86_error() with CONFIG_X86_MCE in
arch/x86/include/asm/mce.h
v3:
Moved arch specific declarations from generic headers to arch
specific headers.
Cleaned additional declarations which are unnecessary.
Included the check for context type.
Added additional check to verify for appropriate MSR address in
the register layout.
v2:
Fixed build error reported by kernel test robot.
Passed struct variable as function argument instead of entire struct.

So which is it "MCAX" or "SMCA"? They both denote the same thing but
let's stick to one to avoid unnecessary confusion. I'm guessing to
"SMCA" because it is more wide-spread in the kernel...

Split that if in two consecutive if-statements.

Also, why the ANDing and not simply do:

if (ctx_info->msr_addr == MSR_AMD64_SMCA_MC0_STATUS)

?

I'm guessing you wanna match *all* MCi_STATUS MSRs - not only MC0, yes?

If so, document that with in the comment above it.

Because arch_apei_report_x86_error() used in the patch is defined
there. The indirect include works but pulls in additional definitions
not needed by the patch.

Do you prefer the more generic include?

ANDing with MC0 avoids bank check by turning off the bits corresponding
to the bank number.

For example: MCA_STATUS in SMCA space is 0xC0002YY1 where YY is the bank
number. The bank number is "Dont care" so ANDing with MC0_STATUS
(0xC0002001) should match on any MCi_STATUS MSR.

I will include that in comments above it.

Okay.

I agree, it's generally a good practice to avoid pulling up additional
definitions. I had this when I made the declaration in generic header
file and may be I did not consider it changing initially as my build
didn't break after moving the declaration from generic header to arch
specific header file.

I will take care henceforth and make the changes as required.

The asm specific include throws out a warning when I run checkpatch.pl

WARNING: Use #include <linux/acpi.h> instead of <asm/acpi.h>
#215: FILE: drivers/firmware/efi/cper-x86.c:5:
+#include <asm/acpi.h>

Should I just keep the generic include?

Thanks for checking.

I had a quick look at checkpatch to understand the reason for the
warning. It seems to warn when "asm" includes are used when a suitable
"linux" include exists[0].

I am not convinced that the rationale for that check applies in this
case as the function being used is indeed an architecture specific one
but also don't feel strongly enough to object.

Feel free to pick up the "Reviewed-by" tag in either case.

Thanks,
Punit
