ACPI, APEI, Avoid too much error reporting in runtime
commit 34ddeb035d704eafdcdb3cbc781894300136c3c4 upstream.
This patch fixed the following bug.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43282
This is caused by a firmware bug checking (checking generic address
register provided by firmware) in runtime. The checking should be
done in address mapping time instead of runtime to avoid too much
error reporting in runtime.

ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines
APEI needs memory access in interrupt context. The obvious choice is
acpi_read(), but originally it couldn't be used in interrupt context
because it makes temporary mappings with ioremap(). Therefore, we added
drivers/acpi/atomicio.c, which provides:
acpi_pre_map_gar() -- ioremap in process context
acpi_atomic_read() -- memory access in interrupt context
acpi_post_unmap_gar() -- iounmap
Later we added acpi_os_map_generic_address() (2971852) and enhanced
acpi_read() so it works in interrupt context as long as the address has
been previously mapped (620242a). Now this sequence:
acpi_os_map_generic_address() -- ioremap in process context
acpi_read()/apei_read() -- now OK in interrupt context
acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
is equivalent to what atomicio.c provides.
This patch introduces apei_read() and apei_write(), which currently are
functional equivalents of acpi_read() and acpi_write(). This is mainly
proactive, to prevent APEI breakages if acpi_read() and acpi_write()
are ever augmented to support the 'bit_offset' field of GAS, as APEI's
__apei_exec_write_register() precludes splitting up functionality
related to 'bit_offset' and APEI's 'mask' (see its
APEI_EXEC_PRESERVE_REGISTER block).
With apei_read() and apei_write() in place, usages of atomicio routines
are converted to apei_read()/apei_write() and existing calls within
osl.c and the CA, based on the re-factoring that was done in an earlier
patch series - http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=128769263327206&w=2:
acpi_pre_map_gar() --> acpi_os_map_generic_address()
acpi_post_unmap_gar() --> acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
acpi_atomic_read() --> apei_read()
acpi_atomic_write() --> apei_write()
Note that acpi_read() and acpi_write() currently use 'bit_width'
for accessing GARs which seems incorrect. 'bit_width' is the size of
the register, while 'access_width' is the size of the access the
processor must generate on the bus. The 'access_width' may be larger,
for example, if the hardware only supports 32-bit or 64-bit reads. I
wanted to minimize any possible impacts with this patch series so I
did *not* change this behavior.

ACPI, APEI, Printk queued error record before panic
Because printk is not safe inside NMI handler, the recoverable error
records received in NMI handler will be queued to be printked in a
delayed IRQ context via irq_work. If a fatal error occurs after the
recoverable error and before the irq_work processed, we lost a error
report.
To solve the issue, the queued error records are printked in NMI
handler if system will go panic.

ACPI, APEI, GHES, Distinguish interleaved error report in kernel log
In most cases, printk only guarantees messages from different printk
calling will not be interleaved between each other. But, one APEI
GHES hardware error report will involve multiple printk calling,
normally each for one line. So it is possible that the hardware error
report comes from different generic hardware error source will be
interleaved.
In this patch, a sequence number is prefixed to each line of error
report. So that, even if they are interleaved, they still can be
distinguished by the prefixed sequence number.

x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines
Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion. A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.
[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114
And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]
The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

ACPI, APEI, GHES, Error records content based throttle
printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Ratelimit is
enforced on the printk to avoid too many hardware error reports in
kernel log. Because there may be thousands or even millions of
corrected hardware errors during system running.
Currently, a simple scheme is used. That is, the total number of
hardware error reporting is ratelimited. This may cause some issues
in practice.
For example, there are two kinds of hardware errors occurred in
system. One is corrected memory error, because the fault memory
address is accessed frequently, there may be hundreds error report
per-second. The other is corrected PCIe AER error, it will be
reported once per-second. Because they share one ratelimit control
structure, it is highly possible that only memory error is reported.
To avoid the above issue, an error record content based throttle
algorithm is implemented in the patch. Where after the first
successful reporting, all error records that are same are throttled for
some time, to let other kinds of error records have the opportunity to
be reported.
In above example, the memory errors will be throttled for some time,
after being printked. Then the PCIe AER error will be printked
successfully.

ACPI, APEI, GHES, printk support for recoverable error via NMI
Some APEI GHES recoverable errors are reported via NMI, but printk is
not safe in NMI context.
To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate
memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated
memory, put the error record into a lock-less list. On the other
hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to
IRQ context. The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from
lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing
include recovery operation, then free the memory.

printk will be ratelimited to avoid too many hardware error reports in

That is different for fatal hardware error, because system will go
panic as soon as possible, there will be no more than several error
records. And these error records are valuable for system fault
diagnosis, so they should not be ratelimited.

ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type support
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.
This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.
Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.
Known issue:
- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.
v2:
- adjust printk format per comments.

Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More

memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
threshold.
On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
GHES is implemented firstly.
