Some APEI firmware implementation will access injected address
specified in param1 to trigger the error when injecting memory
error, which means if one SRAR error is injected, the crash
always happens because it is executed in kernel context. This
new parameter can disable trigger action and control is taken
over by the user. In this way, an SRAR error can happen in user
context instead of crashing the system. This function is highly
depended on BIOS implementation so please ensure you know the
BIOS trigger procedure before you enable this switch.

ioremap() has become more picky and is now spitting out console messages like:

when loading the einj driver. What we are trying to so here is map
a couple of data structures that the EINJ table points to. Perhaps
acpi_os_map_memory() is a better tool for this?
Most importantly it works, but as a side benefit it maps the structures
into kernel virtual space so we can access them with normal C memory
dereferences, so instead of using:

Base ACPI (CA) currently does not support atomic 64-bit reads and writes
(acpi_read() and acpi_write() split 64-bit loads/stores into two
32-bit transfers) yet APEI expects 64-bit transfer capability, even
when running on 32-bit systems.
This patch implements 64-bit read and write routines for APEI usage.
This patch re-factors similar functionality introduced in commit
04c25997c9, bringing it into the ACPI subsystem in preparation for
removing ./drivers/acpi/atomicio.[ch]. In the implementation I have
replicated acpi_os_read_memory() and acpi_os_write_memory(), creating
64-bit versions for APEI to utilize, as opposed to something more
elegant. My thinking is that we should attempt to see if we can get
ACPI's CA/OSL changed so that the existing acpi_read() and acpi_write()
interfaces are natively 64-bit capable and then subsequently remove the
replication.

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.

Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI. That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region. The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mech. But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.
To fix this, this patch excludes ACPI NVS regions when APEI components
request resources. So that they will not conflict with ACPI NVS
regions.

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.

The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend
pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following
backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends
that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path.
To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close
loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend.
Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is
called in the middle of the read path.

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

and mce removes a call to notify_die.
[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call

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).

pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the
backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in
an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump().
This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to
see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the
lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking.
All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it
solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context.
Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which
will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

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.

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.

EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally
puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata
header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to
modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique
variable name to the appropriate functions.

Some pstore implementations may not have a static context, so extend the

APEI firmware first mode must be turned on explicitly on some
machines, otherwise there may be no GHES hardware error record for
hardware error notification. APEI bit in generic _OSC call can be
used to do that, but on some machine, a special WHEA _OSC call must be
used. This patch adds the support to that WHEA _OSC call.

GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) is used to process hardware error
notification in firmware first mode. But because firmware first mode
can be turned on but can not be turned off, it is unreasonable to
unload the GHES module with firmware first mode turned on. To avoid
confusion, this patch makes GHES can be enabled/disabled in
configuration time, but not built as module and unloaded at run time.

Some actions in APEI ERST and EINJ tables are optional, for example,
ACPI_EINJ_BEGIN_OPERATION action is used to do some preparation for
error injection, and firmware may choose to do nothing here. While
some other actions are mandatory, for example, firmware must provide
ACPI_EINJ_GET_ERROR_TYPE implementation.
Original implementation treats all actions as optional (that is, can
have no instructions), that may cause issue if firmware does not
provide some mandatory actions. To fix this, this patch adds
apei_exec_run_optional, which should be used for optional actions.
The original apei_exec_run should be used for mandatory actions.

printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Normally, the
printk will be ratelimited 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.
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.

When we debug ERST table with erst-dbg, if the error record in ERST
table is too long(>4K), it can't be read out. So this patch increases
the buffer size to 16K to ensure such error records can be read from
ERST table.
