Subject: [PATCH v2] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: EINJV2 support added

Added changes to support EINJV2 from ACPI V6.5. This adds
new additional actions: EINJV2_SET_ERROR_TYPE and
EINJV2_GET_ERROR_TYPE which supports PCIe,processor and
memory error for single component syndrome.

Is the expectation that platforms that implement EINJV2 will not include legacy
EINJ support?

The Linux error injection API is all in "debugfs", so maybe there shouldn't be
an expectation that old injection tests will work on new systems. But this is
going to catch some by surprise.

Maybe it would be better to change the top-level directory to:

/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einjv2

so that old scripts and programs will fail immediately, rather than do
weird things writing legacy einj values to the various files.

And ... since there is no expectation of backward compatibility ... perhaps
take this opportunity to re-think the entire API? Perhaps something like this,
With just a single file for all parameters?

# echo "memory notrigger 0x12345 0x2" > /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einjv2/inject

or separate files for each injection target:

# echo "0x12345 0x2 notrigger" > /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einjv2/inject_memory

I spoke to some BIOS folks here. They said that the ACPI 6.5 change is an
extension to the action table with new opcodes for GET/SET when EINJV2
is supported. The legacy actions are not deprecated. So platform firmware could
support both old and new injection formats.

So I'm going to double down on this:

> Maybe it would be better to change the top-level directory to:
>
> /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einjv2

and say this isn't a "maybe". The EINJV2 interface files should go
in a new directory. The old files should continue to work (assuming
firmware still enumerates the old available types).

Simplifying the interface for EINJV2 in the new directory is an option.
I think we should take it ... the "paramN" files that mean different
things for different injection types were an evolution rather than a design.

If a platform supports einj v2, then the einj directory wont be needed, as per spec,
if a non-zero Error Type value is set by EINJV2_SET_ERROR_TYPE, then any Error Type
value set by (einj case) SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS and/or SET_ERROR_TYPE will be
ignored. So based on einjv2 is supported or not, we can have either einjv2 or einj
directory with the related params files in it respectively.
Kindly let us know your thoughts.

Piyush,

There are a lot of validation tests built on top of the EINJ v1 Linux interface and interest
in keeping them working rather than forcing a giant "change everything" when the first
EINJ V2 system arrives.

BIOS team here thinks that the EINJ V2 spec change is (or can be) incremental.
Platform firmware can choose to continue supporting EINJ V1 while also providing
EINJ V2 actions.

So Linux should be prepared to handle:

1) Legacy systems with just the V1 interface.

2) Incremental systems that have both V1 and V2 interfaces.

3) Future looking systems that only have the V2 interface.

Hi all,

It seems to me like backwards compatibility has been a big priority historically for Linux.
I guess with debugfs we get more leeway to change things, however this interface seems
to be present for a very long time and seems to be entrenched enough to keep backwards
compatibility.


Piyush,
Did you make any progress on the solution ? I can offer some help if you don't have BW to work
on this.


Good video on the topic :)

Hi Michal, Tony,

Thanks for your reply.

I get that we have to support v1 and v2 for backward compatibility, but for the point no.2
made by Tony -
"2) Incremental systems that have both V1 and V2 interfaces.",
just wanted to understand if we expect any use case where if EINJ V2 is supported, both v1
and v2 interfaces shall be required at the same time for error injection, as from the spec,
if V2 is supported, EINJV2_SET_ERROR_TYPE takes precedence.

This seems to be similar with V1 action types - whether to go with SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS or
SET_ERROR_TYPE, is based on the action entry in the EINJ table where "SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS"
gets precedence.

Please share your inputs.

Thanks,
Piyush

I don't think it will be required to support users mix and matching v1 and v2 in the middle of an injection.
So will need some locking between the einj/error_inject and the einjv2/error_inject action phase.

I'd still like to see the einjv2 injection supply all parameters in a single write to a debugfs file
and have the driver parse the values.

E.g.

# echo "corrected memory 0x1234567890 notrigger" > /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einjv2/error_inject

That would make injection a user-level atomic operation, and avoid all the confusion that results
from updating the param1, param2, ... files individually.

Hi Piyush,

ACPI6.5 also defined error type for Vendor Specific Error (0x80000000) . The struct syndrome_array
has defined it but the function is not implemented in this patch. Would you want support it in follow-up patch?
or better to put it in this patch to make it a complete implementation?
