[PATCH] x86/mce: Add support for PHYSADDRV and PHYSADDRVALIDSUPPORTED bits

[PATCH] x86/mce: Add support for PHYSADDRV and PHYSADDRVALIDSUPPORTED bits

[Avadhut Naik]

Starting with Zen6, AMD's Scalable MCA systems will incorporate two new
bits in MCA_STATUS and MCA_CONFIG MSRs. These bits will indicate if a
valid System Physical Address (SPA) is present in MCA_ADDR.

PhysAddrValidSupported bit (MCA_CONFIG[11]) serves as the architectural
indicator and states if PhysAddrV bit (MCA_STATUS[54]) is Reserved or
if it indicates validity of SPA in MCA_ADDR.

PhysAddrV bit (MCA_STATUS[54]) advertises if MCA_ADDR contains valid
SPA or if it is implementation specific.

The commit message is missing an imperative statement. You can describe
how and why these bits are helpful.

For example: "Use and prefer MCA_STATUS[PhysAddrV] when checking for a
usable address." or something like this.

Newline here.

Newline here.

Also, the entire hunk above should go after the !SMCA case below and
before the other SMCA cases.

Furthermore, the hunk can be simplified to this:

	if (smca_config & MCI_CONFIG_PAVALID)
		return m->status & MCI_STATUS_PADDRVAL;

Also also, the bit names are uncannily similar. I think they should be
the same (except for the prefix) or clearly different.

MCI_CONFIG_PADDRV/MCI_STATUS_PADDRV

MCI_CONFIG_PHYS_ADDRV_SUPP/MCI_STATUS_PADDRVAL

We should revisit saving MCA_CONFIG during logging. We end up reading it
multiple times during error processing.

I realize this came up before in a previous patch set. IIRC, the point
of contention was exposing MCA_CONFIG to userspace. We don't necessarily
have to do that. We can just use it in the kernel data structures.

I agree. If there is consensus, I can work on getting a patch out.
Maybe make this a set with the first patch caching MCA_CONFIG and
this being the second patch.
