[PATCH 0/6 v6] Make ELOG and GHES log and trace consistently

[PATCH 0/6 v6] Make ELOG and GHES log and trace consistently

[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 v6 ---

	- Rename the helper that copies the CPER CXL protocol error
	  information to work struct (Dave)
	- Return -EOPNOTSUPP (instead of -EINVAL) from the two helpers if
	  ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER is not defined (Dave)

--- Changes for v5 ---

	- Add 3/6 to select ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER for GHES
	- Add 4,5/6 to move common code between ELOG and GHES out to new
	  helpers use them in 6/6 (Jonathan).

--- Changes for v4 ---

	- Re-base on top of recent changes of the AER error logging and
	  drop obsoleted 2/4 (Sathyanarayanan)
	- Log with pr_warn_ratelimited() (Dave)
	- Collect tags

--- Changes for v3 ---

    1/4, 2/4:
	- collect tags; no functional changes
    3/4:
	- Invert logic of checks (Yazen)
	- Select CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER (Yazen)
    4/4:
	- Check serial number only for CXL devices (Yazen)
	- Replace "invalid" with "unknown" in the output of a pr_err()
	  (Yazen)
	
--- Changes for v2 ---

	- Add a patch to pass log levels to pci_print_aer() (Dan)
	- Add a patch to trace CPER CXL Protocol Errors
	- Rework commit messages (Dan)
	- Use log_non_standard_event() (Bjorn)

--- 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)

[PATCH 1/6 v6] ACPI: extlog: Trace CPER Non-standard Section Body

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

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 log_non_standard_event().

Latest is v2.11, right? Why not use it for reference?

[PATCH 2/6 v6] ACPI: extlog: Trace CPER PCI Express Error Section

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

I/O Machine Check Architecture 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.

Trace the CPER PCIe Error section (UEFI v2.10, Appendix N.2.7) reported
by the I/O MCA.

Hi Fabio,

Was taking a fresh look at this as a precursor to looking at later
patches in series and spotted something that I'm doubtful about.

Looking again, I'm not sure this is as intended.  Is the aim to
allow for either one of these two?  Or check that that are both present? 
That is should it be !(A && B) rather than !(A || B)?

Hi Jonathan,

You're right. We need to check that both are true and return if they are 
not, then the statement has to be !(A && B).

[PATCH 3/6 v6] acpi/ghes: Make GHES select ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

GHES handles the PCI Express Error Section and also the Compute Express
Link (CXL) Protocol Error Section. Two of its functions depend on the
APEI PCIe AER logging/recovering support (ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER).

Make GHES select ACPI_APEI_PCIEAER and remove the conditional
compilation from the body of two static functions that handle the CPER
Error Sections mentioned above.

[PATCH 4/6 v6] acpi/ghes: Add helper for CXL protocol errors checks

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Move the CPER CXL protocol errors validity out of
cxl_cper_post_prot_err() to cxl_cper_sec_prot_err_valid() and limit the
serial number check only to CXL agents that are CXL devices (UEFI v2.10,
Appendix N.2.13).

Perhaps a little more here on why.  I assume because you are going to have
a second user for it, but good to say that. Also serves to justify the
export.

Useful to return an error number?  Or would a bool be better given it is either
valid or not?

Otherwise looks good to me,

I prefer to return more information when reasonable and leave the callers free
to use or ignore the specific error number.

[PATCH 5/6 v6] acpi/ghes: Add helper to copy CXL protocol error info to work struct

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Make a helper out of cxl_cper_post_prot_err() that checks the CXL agent
type and copy the CPER CXL protocol errors information to a work data
structure.

[PATCH 6/6 v6] ACPI: extlog: Trace CPER CXL Protocol Error Section

[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. The errors managed by ELOG are
signaled to the BIOS by the I/O Machine Check Architecture (I/O MCA).

Currently, ELOG and GHES show some inconsistencies in how they report to
userspace via trace events.

Therefore, make the two mentioned paths act similarly by tracing the CPER
CXL Protocol Error Section (UEFI v2.10, Appendix N.2.13).

Why do we need this wrapper?  The name is a bit more general, so if you
do need it, then why not instead just rename cxl_cper_handle_prot_err()

Actually, on a second thought I believe that we don't need either this
wrapper or renaming cxl_cper_handle_prot_err(). I'll export the latter
as it is.

I need ACKs or equivalent for patches [3-5/6] from the designated APEI
reviewers.  Tony?

There's an LKP complaint against patch 3 (perhaps for a crazy randconfig, but an indication that Kconfig dependencies aren't right).

The APEI bits look ok to me. But I think 3-6 need some CXL acks too.
