Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] ACPI: APEI: set memory failure flags as MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous events

There are two major types of uncorrected recoverable (UCR) errors :

- Action Required (AR): The error is detected and the processor already
  consumes the memory. OS requires to take action (for example, offline
  failure page/kill failure thread) to recover this uncorrectable error.

- Action Optional (AO): The error is detected out of processor execution
  context. Some data in the memory are corrupted. But the data have not
  been consumed. OS is optional to take action to recover this
  uncorrectable error.

The essential difference between AR and AO errors is that AR is a
synchronous event, while AO is an asynchronous event. The hardware will
signal a synchronous exception (Machine Check Exception on X86 and
Synchronous External Abort on Arm64) when an error is detected and the
memory access has been architecturally executed.

When APEI firmware first is enabled, a platform may describe one error
source for the handling of synchronous errors (e.g. MCE or SEA notification
), or for handling asynchronous errors (e.g. SCI or External Interrupt
notification). In other words, we can distinguish synchronous errors by
APEI notification. For AR errors, kernel will kill current process
accessing the poisoned page by sending SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AR. In
addition, for AO errors, kernel will notify the process who owns the
poisoned page by sending SIGBUS with BUS_MCEERR_AO in early kill mode.
However, the GHES driver always sets mf_flags to 0 so that all UCR errors
are handled as AO errors in memory failure.

To this end, set memory failure flags as MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous
events.
