I like this patch a lot, but where does this "first_error = 0x1f" come
from?

I assume this is supposed to be the "First Error Pointer" in the
Advanced Error Capabilities and Control register (PCIe r4.0, sec
7.8.4.7). There is a "cap_control" field in struct
aer_capability_regs; should we be using that here?

aer_(un)correctable_error_string don't go to [0x1f], so this guarantees
us we don't print "(First)".

There is a way to extract it from the PCI regs, and it's quite simple.
IIRC, it should be all f's when the capability is not implemented. I
wanted to avoid any further parsing of PCI regs in this patch.

I can see a way to use even more common printk code, but that requires
validating the PCI regs we get from firmware. That means we need to make
a guarantee about CPER that is beyond the scope of this patch.

I could update the offending line to say:
+ info.first_error = PCI_ERR_CAP_FEP(aer->cap_control);

Though I still have the concerns with validating CPER data:

That's what I would have expected. So I'd say either do this, or add
a comment about why it's not the right thing to do.

Sounds like this is material for another patch, but if/when you do
that, I'd like to understand your concern about validating the
registers we get from firmware. Are you worried about getting
incorrect register contents, then printing the wrong info, making
the wrong decision about how to recover, something else?

I don't trust firmware, and I have daymares about firmware leaving these
fields uninitialized. In jargon, I'd like to treat it as external
untrusted serialized data.

Changes since v1:
- Parse aer regs for first error pointer instead of disabling it
On the Dell machine where I tested this, the first error pointer is
reported correctly by firmware.

That makes good sense to me.

In this particular case, we only test first_error for equality:

__aer_print_error(...)
{
...

pci_err(dev, " [%2d] %-22s%s\n", i, errmsg,
info->first_error == i ? " (First)" : "");

so I don't think there's any danger. If we were using it to index an
array or something, we should certainly validate it first.
