[PATCH 0/4] efi/cxl-cper: Report CXL CPER events through tracing

[PATCH 0/4] efi/cxl-cper: Report CXL CPER events through tracing

[Ira Weiny]

CXL Component Events, as defined by EFI 2.10 Section N.2.14, wrap a
mostly CXL event payload in an EFI Common Platform Error Record (CPER)
record.  If a device is configured for firmware first CXL event records
are not sent directly to the host.

The CXL sub-system uniquely has DPA to HPA translation information.  It
also already has event decoding/tracing.  Such translations are very
useful for users to determine which system issues may correspond to
specific hardware events.

The restructuring of the event data structures in 6.8 made sharing the
data between CPER/event logs more efficient.  Now re-wire the sending of
CPER records to the CXL sub-system.

In addition provide a default RAS event should the CXL module not be
loaded [ie callback not registered].

Series status/background
========================

Smita and Jonathan have been a great help with this series.  Once again
thank you.

Unfortunately, with all the churn surrounding the bug which Dan
Carpenter found the maintainers were force to revert this work.

Therefore, this is a whole new series based on what is in 6.8.

Testing
=======

I've hacked up a quick debugfs patch to facilitate easier testing.[1]

With this I have verified that the bug Dan Carpenter found is fixed.
However, the tp_printk bug Jonathan found remains.  The taking of the
device lock in the callback is required and the tp_printk issue is
unlikely to be fixed.  Fortunately, tp_printk is not widely used so it
is anticipated this will not be an issue.

No other locking issues were found with this test and locking debug
turned on.

[PATCH 1/4] cxl/event: Add missing include files

[Ira Weiny]

Additional event testing using the cxl-event.h header revealed that it
did not include the correct headers for the types used.  Compile errors
such as:

	include/linux/cxl-event.h|11 col 9| error: unknown type name ‘u8’

... were seen.

Add the correct pre-requisite headers.

Omit the fixes tag because this does not cause any issues until the
header is used again in other code.

[PATCH 2/4] acpi/ghes: Process CXL Component Events

[Ira Weiny]

BIOS can configure memory devices as firmware first.  This will send CXL
events to the firmware instead of the OS.  The firmware can then send
these events to the OS via UEFI.  Currently a configuration such as this
will trace a non standard event in the log.  Using the specific CXL
trace points with the additional information CXL can provide is much
more useful to users.  Specifically, future support can be added to CXL
provide the DPA to HPA mapping configured at the time of the event.

UEFI v2.10 section N.2.14 defines a Common Platform Error Record (CPER)
format for CXL Component Events.  The format is mostly the same as the
CXL Common Event Record Format.  The difference is the use of a GUID in
the Section Type rather than a UUID as part of the event itself.

Add GHES support to detect CXL CPER records and call into the CXL code
to process the event.

Multiple methods were considered for the call into the CXL code.  A
notifier chain was considered for the callback but the complexity did
not justify the use case.  Furthermore, the CXL code is required to be
called from process context as it needs to take a device lock so a
simple callback register proved difficult.  Dan Williams suggested
using 2 work items as an atomic way of switching between a callback
being registered and not.  This allows the callback to run without any
locking.[1]

Note that a local work item is required to dump any messages seen during
a race between any check done in cxl_cper_post_event() and the
scheduling of work.  That said, no attempt is made to stop the addition
of messages into the kfifo because this local work item provides a hook
to add a local CXL CPER trace point in a future patch.

This new combined patch addresses the report by Dan Carpenter[2].  Thus
the reported by tag.

[PATCH 3/4] cxl/pci: Register for and process CPER events

[Ira Weiny]

If the firmware has configured CXL event support to be firmware first
the OS can process those events through CPER records.  The CXL layer has
unique DPA to HPA knowledge and standard event trace parsing in place.

CPER records contain Bus, Device, Function information which can be used
to identify the PCI device which is sending the event.

Add a CXL CPER callback to process events through the CXL trace
subsystem.

Future patches will provide additional region information such as HPA.

[PATCH 4/4] ras/events: Trace CXL CPER events even without the CXL stack loaded

[Ira Weiny]

If CXL is solely managed by firmware (including HDM configuration and
event processing via firmware first) it is possible to run the system
without the CXL software loaded.  In this case no CXL callback will be
loaded and CXL CPER errors will not be processed at all.

In this case memory device and region (HPA) information is missing but
omitting the error completely is not friendly for such a user.  Some
device information is available in the generic event which could prove
useful to a user.

Utilize the local work item to trace a generic CXL CPER event.

Duplicate the pattern of decoding the CXL event header to aid in adding
future trace points if needed.  This was an easy lift from the CXL trace
points.  But stop at header decoding only because this is an unlikely
configuration for the system.  Further decoding can be obtained with
user space tools or added later if needed.

One could argue that support should have happened first and taken the
event all the way to EDAC, so this needs to merged on faith that that
those patches are in flight.

Not sure what this adds. If you want to talk about alternatives and

of the chosen direction.

Why is this taking the lock on retrieval? The work item is
single-threaded. The only potential contention is between
cxl_cper_local_fn() and cxl_cper_cb_fn() collision, but that can be
handled by a cancel_work_sync(&cxl_local_work) on registration to pair
with the cancel_work_sync(&cxl_cb_work) on unregistration.

...but I am not sure 2 work items are needed unless some default
processing is going to happen in the "local" case.

This just looks like open coded / less efficient kfifo_reset_out().

If the proposal is to do nothing when no callback is registered then no

Unfortunate to have a double copy of the record into the stack variable
and then again into the kfifo, but I can not immediately think of a way
around that.

I think you don't need 2 work items if you write it this way:

        spin_lock_irqsave(&cxl_cper_write_lock, flags);
        if (cxl_cper_work) {
                if (kfifo_put(&cxl_cper_fifo, &wd))
                        schedule_work(cxl_cper_work);
                else
                        pr_err_ratelimited(
                                "buffer overflow when queuing CXL CPER record\n");
        }
        spin_lock_irqrestore(&cxl_cper_write_lock, flags);

...and then take the write lock when modifying that cxl_cper_work
pointer between NULL and non-NULL.

These print statements are excessive. The dev_dbg() already encodes the
device BDF into the device name. The pr_err() is not actionable and
somewhat redundant with the default cper_estatus_print_section() print.

I would just delete all of them.

As I said after this in the commit message:

	"Omit the fixes tag because this does not cause any issues until
	the header is used again in other code."

I'll clarify it was seen when I used cxl-event.h in the testing code and
this happened.

So it was confusing to read the empty stub function 2 patches back when this
change was coming, and basic reporting of CXL event does not need the
workqueue indirection. Note that EDAC triggers trace events directly in
the atomic notifier chain, so CXL could do the same.

This is more heavywieght than I was expecting and defeats the purpose of
centralizing advanced decode in the CXL driver itself.

I would expect this to be just the tracing equivalent of the
ignore_section logic in cper_estatus_print_section().

Sure but then you also don't get the additional information already
provided by the CXL trace points.  Reading this back I see that my use of
'Specifically' masked the fact that the CXL code already has better
support to decode these records and we want to leverage that.

I know.  How about Suggested-by?  I want to give Dan credit because your

I thought about merging patch 3 in this one and that would make the use of
