[PATCH v3 00/10] ACPI: APEI: GHES: Collection of fixes for issues reported by sashiko

[Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>]

A collection of fixes for pre-existing issues reported by sashiko-bot while
reviewing patches.

The v1 posting fixed a first batch of these issues, and v2 grew the set as
sashiko-bot's review surfaced more problems in the same CPER/extlog paths.
sashiko-bot's review of v2 flagged yet more of the same class of bug in
neighbouring code, so v3 adds those as well: an out-of-range section length
that defeats cper_estatus_check(), the same unvalidated AER buffer handling
in ghes_handle_aer() that was already fixed for extlog, and an unbounded
walk of the extlog record.

1/10:  Bound the CXL event record copy to the firmware section length.
2/10:  Reject CPER records with an out-of-range error_data_length.
3/10:  Validate the CXL protocol error section length before the RAS cap copy.
4/10:  Avoid populating software AER metadata from the raw hardware buffer.
5/10:  Validate the PCIe error section length before payload access.
6/10:  Fix the CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER guard typo in extlog.c.
7/10:  Defer CXL protocol error handling to avoid a lock inversion.
8/10:  Validate the memory error section length before payload access.
9/10:  Bound the AER info copy and sanitize software metadata in ghes.c.
10/10: Validate the extlog record length before walking sections.

Note patch 2 touches drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c; it closes the length
validation hole at the shared choke point that the per-section guards in the
rest of the series rely on.

sashiko-bot's review of v2 also flagged a few related issues that are not
addressed here because they live in other subsystems.

  - cxl_cper_print_prot_err() in drivers/firmware/efi/cper_cxl.c uses the
    firmware-controlled dvsec_len without bounding it against the section
    length.
  - cxl_rch_get_aer_info() in drivers/cxl/core/ras_rch.c reads the RCH AER
    capability from MMIO into a struct aer_capability_regs without clearing
    the software-only header_len/flit fields, the same class of issue as
    patches 4 and 9.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20260709162807.1957783-1-dave.jiang@intel.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/20260714231835.303081-1-dave.jiang@intel.com/

Changes since v2
----------------
- Dropped the standalone spin_lock_irqsave() change; it is a separate issue
  being handled by Terry Bowman.
- New patch 2: reject a section whose error_data_length is out of range in
  cper_estatus_check(), closing the signed-int overflow that let a crafted
  section bypass the check and defeat the per-caller size guards (sashiko).
- New patch 9: apply the same AER buffer sanitization to ghes_handle_aer()
  that patch 4 applies to extlog (sashiko).
- New patch 10: bound the extlog record and run cper_estatus_check() before
  walking its sections, which extlog did not do (sashiko).
- Patch 8: move the memory error length check into ghes_do_proc() so the
  report chain and arch reporter are covered too, and bound against the
  older UEFI 2.1/2.2 layout rather than the full struct (sashiko).
- Reordered so the extlog PCIe path is hardened, and the CXL protocol error
  handling is deferred to the workqueue, before the typo fix that activates
  that code.

Changes since v1
