[PATCH 0/2] Make ELOG log and trace consistently with GHES

[PATCH 0/2] Make ELOG log and trace consistently with GHES

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

When Firmware First is enabled, BIOS handles errors first and then it
makes them available to the kernel via the Common Platform Error Record
(CPER) sections (UEFI 2.10 Appendix N). Linux parses the CPER sections
via one of two similar paths, either ELOG or GHES.

Currently, ELOG and GHES show some inconsistencies in how they print to
the kernel log as well as in how they report to userspace via trace
events.

Make the two mentioned paths act similarly for what relates to logging
and tracing.

--- Changes for v1 ---

	- Drop the RFC prefix and restart from PATCH v1
	- Drop patch 3/3 because a discussion on it has not yet been
	  settled
	- Drop namespacing in export of pci_print_aer while() (Dan)
	- Don't use '#ifdef' in *.c files (Dan)
	- Drop a reference on pdev after operation is complete (Dan)
	- Don't log an error message if pdev is NULL (Dan)

--- Changes for RFC v2 ---
	
	- 0/3: rework the subject line and the letter.
        - 1/3: no changes.
        - 2/3: trace CPER PCIe Section only if CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER
          is defined; the kernel test robot reported the use of two
          undefined symbols because the test for the config option was
          missing; rewrite the subject line and part of commit message.
        - 3/3: no changes.

[PATCH 1/2] ACPI: extlog: Trace CPER Non-standard Section Body

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

In extlog_print(), trace "Non-standard Section Body" reported by firmware
to the OS via Common Platform Error Record (CPER) (UEFI v2.10 Appendix N
2.3) to add further debug information and so to make ELOG log
consistently with ghes_do_proc() (GHES).

I think this description could be clearer, how about:

---

ghes_do_proc() has a catch-all for unknown or unhandled CPER formats
(UEFI v2.10 Appendix N 2.3), extlog_print() does not. This gap was
noticed by a RAS test that injected CXL protocol errors which were
notified to extlog_print() via the IOMCA (I/O Machine Check
Architecture) mechanism. Bring parity to the extlog_print() path by
including a similar trace_non_standard_event().

Kudos for making these two paths more similar.

Not specific to *this* patch, but it's annoying to try to find
tracepoint implementations.  I guess it's
TRACE_EVENT(non_standard_event, ...) in include/ras/ras_event.h.

This has the same prototype as log_non_standard_event(), so
could extlog_print() be made a little bit more like ghes_do_proc() by
using log_non_standard_event() instead of trace_non_standard_event()
directly?

[PATCH 2/2] ACPI: extlog: Trace CPER PCI Express Error Section

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Currently, extlog_print() (ELOG) only reports CPER PCIe section (UEFI
v2.10, Appendix N.2.7) to the kernel log via print_extlog_rcd(). Instead,
the similar ghes_do_proc() (GHES) prints to kernel log and calls
pci_print_aer() to report via the ftrace infrastructure.

Add support to report the CPER PCIe Error section also via the ftrace
infrastructure by calling pci_print_aer() to make ELOG act consistently
with GHES.

I think the critical detail is is that print_extlog_rcd() is only
triggered when ras_userspace_consumers() returns true. The observation
is that ras_userspace_consumers() hides information from the trace path
when the intended purpose of it was to hide duplicate emissions to the
kernel log when userspace is watching the tracepoints.

Setting aside whether ras_userspace_consumers() is still a good idea or
not, it is obvious that this patch as is may surprise environments that
start seeing kernel error logs where the kernel was silent before.

I think the path of least surprise would be to make sure that
pci_print_aer() optionally skips emitting to the kernel log when not
needed wanted.

So perhaps first do a lead-in patch to optionally quiet the print
messages in pci_print_aer() and then pass in KERN_DEBUG from the
extlog_print() path. Then we can decide later what to do about
ras_userspace_consumers().

You might also want to explain a bit about the motivation for this which
is that I/O Machine Check Arcitecture events may signal failing PCIe
components or links. The AER event contains details on what was
happening on the wire when the error was signaled.

...per above this would become:

Sorry for replying so late...

I'm not entirely sure that users would not prefer to be surprised by 
_finally_ seeing kernel error logs for failing PCIe components. I suspect 
that users might have been confused by not seeing any output.

Anyway, I'll do it.

I need to be sure that I understood...

void pci_print_aer(char *level, struct pci_dev *dev, int aer_severity,
                   struct aer_capability_regs *aer)
{
        [...]

        if (printk_get_level(level) <= console_loglevel) {
                pci_err(dev, "aer_status: 0x%08x, aer_mask: 0x%08x\n",
                        status, mask);
                __aer_print_error(dev, &info);
                pci_err(dev, "aer_layer=%s, aer_agent=%s\n",
                        aer_error_layer[layer], aer_agent_string[agent]);

                if (aer_severity != AER_CORRECTABLE)
                        pci_err(dev, "aer_uncor_severity: 0x%08x\n",
                                aer->uncor_severity);

                if (tlp_header_valid)
                        __print_tlp_header(dev, &aer->header_log);
        }

        [...]
}	

It would require changing a couple of call sites, like in    
aer_recover_work_func():

pci_print_aer(KERN_ERR, pdev, entry.severity, entry.regs);
 
Would you please confirm that the code shown above is what
you asked for?

Thanks,

Fabio

2 notes:

* New KERN_ERR prints are often found to be unwelcome. When the kernel starts
  printing new error messages it causes sysadmins to scramble.

* The future of RAS is trace-events. Any new RAS messages to the kernel
  log need to ask the question, "is userspace better served by
  registering for a RAS trace event, rather than parsing kernel log
  messsages".

No, the code would be:

    pci_printk(level, dev, "aer_status: 0x%08x, aer_mask: 0x%08x\n", status, mask);

...i.e. just pass @level rather than open code "if
(printk_get_level(level) <= console_loglevel)".

I'm 100% in favor of making error reporting work and look the same
across GHES and ELOG.  But I do have to gripe a bit...

It's already unfortunate that GHES and the native AER handling are
separate paths that lead to the same place (__aer_print_error()).

I'm sorry that we need to add a third path that again does
fundamentally the same thing.  The fact that they're separate means
all the design, reviewing, testing, and maintenance effort is diluted,
and error handling always gets too little love in the first place.
I think this is a recipe for confusion.

And we also have CXL paths that lead to __aer_print_error(), although
it seems like they at least start in the native AER (and maybe GHES?)
path and branch out somewhere.  My head is spinning.

Do I *object* to this patch?  No, not really; it's a trivial change in
drivers/pci/, and Rafael can add my

To be honest, I am too. Upon discovering that extlog_print() behaves
differently than ghes_do_proc(), I had the snarky thought "great, can we
now just go ahead and deprecate the extlog path, it's just a source of
maintenance pain.".

So *if*we keep acpi_extlog it then I definitely think it should be
consistent with other CPER handlers (needs this patch). But, I am also
open to entertaining "deprecate it".

To me, the fact that ras_userspace_consumers() is only honored for
acpi_extlog is clear evidence that the kernel has already painted itself
into a confusing user ABI corner and maybe the proper path forward at
this point is to cut acpi_extlog loose.
