Huang Ying 152cef40a8 ACPI, APEI, GHES, Error records content based throttle
printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors.  Ratelimit is
enforced on the printk to avoid too many hardware error reports in
kernel log.  Because there may be thousands or even millions of
corrected hardware errors during system running.

Currently, a simple scheme is used.  That is, the total number of
hardware error reporting is ratelimited.  This may cause some issues
in practice.

For example, there are two kinds of hardware errors occurred in
system.  One is corrected memory error, because the fault memory
address is accessed frequently, there may be hundreds error report
per-second.  The other is corrected PCIe AER error, it will be
reported once per-second.  Because they share one ratelimit control
structure, it is highly possible that only memory error is reported.

To avoid the above issue, an error record content based throttle
algorithm is implemented in the patch.  Where after the first
successful reporting, all error records that are same are throttled for
some time, to let other kinds of error records have the opportunity to
be reported.

In above example, the memory errors will be throttled for some time,
after being printked.  Then the PCIe AER error will be printked
successfully.

Huang Ying 67eb2e9907 ACPI, APEI, GHES, printk support for recoverable error via NMI
Some APEI GHES recoverable errors are reported via NMI, but printk is
not safe in NMI context.

To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate
memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated
memory, put the error record into a lock-less list.  On the other
hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to
IRQ context.  The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from
lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing
include recovery operation, then free the memory.

Huang Ying 9fb0bfe140 ACPI, APEI, Add WHEA _OSC support
APEI firmware first mode must be turned on explicitly on some
machines, otherwise there may be no GHES hardware error record for
hardware error notification.  APEI bit in generic _OSC call can be
used to do that, but on some machine, a special WHEA _OSC call must be
used.  This patch adds the support to that WHEA _OSC call.

Huang Ying 5588340d46 ACPI, APEI, GHES, Do not ratelimit fatal error printk before panic
printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors.  Normally, the
printk will be ratelimited to avoid too many hardware error reports in
kernel log.  Because there may be thousands or even millions of
corrected hardware errors during system running.

That is different for fatal hardware error, because system will go
panic as soon as possible, there will be no more than several error
records.  And these error records are valuable for system fault
diagnosis, so they should not be ratelimited.

Huang Ying 81e88fdc43 ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type support
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.

Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.

Known issue:

- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
  via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
  printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.

v2:

- adjust printk format per comments.

Jin Dongming 1dd6b20e36 ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry
information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data
will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data
should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic.

So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory
which saves entry information of erst_tab.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.

v2:
    Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using
    platform_device_add_data()

Huang Ying d334a49113 ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source memory error support
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More
notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These
memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
threshold.

On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
GHES is implemented firstly.
