Instead of generating a burst of errors or reporting the error
count via driver-specific details, use the new way provided by
edac_mc_handle_error.

In order to avoid loosing error events, it is desirable to group
error events together and generate a single trace for several identical
errors.

The trace API already allows reporting multiple errors. Change the
handle_error function to also allow that.

The changes at the drivers were made by this small script:

	$file .=$_ while (&lt;&gt;);
	$file =~ s/(edac_mc_handle_error)\s*\(([^\,]+)\,([^\,]+)\,/$1($2,$3, 1,/g;
	print $file;

Remove the arch-dependent parameter, as it were not used,
as the MCE tracepoint weren't implemented. It probably doesn't
make sense to have an MCE-specific tracepoint, as this will
cost more bytes at the tracepoint, and tracepoint is not free.

The changes at the EDAC drivers were done by this small perl script:

	$file .=$_ while (&lt;&gt;);
	$file =~ s/(edac_mc_handle_error)\s*\(([^\;]+)\,([^\,\)]+)\s*\)/$1($2)/g;
	print $file;

<title>edac: Don't add __func__ or __FILE__ for debugf[0-9] msgs</title>

The debug macro already adds that. Most of the work here was
made by this small script:

$f .=$_ while (&lt;&gt;);

$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\s*)__FILE__\s*": /\1"/g;
$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\s*)__FILE__\s*/\1/g;
$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\s*)__FILE__\s*"MC: /\1"/g;

$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\")\%s[\:\,\(\)]*\s*([^\"]*\s*[^\)]+)__func__\s*\,\s*/\1\2/g;
$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\")\%s[\:\,\(\)]*\s*([^\"]*\s*[^\)]+),\s*__func__\s*\)/\1\2)/g;
$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\"MC\:\s*)\%s[\:\,\(\)]*\s*([^\"]*\s*[^\)]+)__func__\s*\,\s*/\1\2/g;
$f =~ s/(debugf[0-9]\s*\(\"MC\:\s*)\%s[\:\,\(\)]*\s*([^\"]*\s*[^\)]+),\s*__func__\s*\)/\1\2)/g;

$f =~ s/\"MC\: \\n\"/"MC:\\n"/g;

print $f;

After running the script, manual cleanups were done to fix it the remaining
places.

While here, removed the __LINE__ on most places, as it doesn't actually give
useful info on most places.

Kernel kobjects have rigid rules: each container object should be
dynamically allocated, and can't be allocated into a single kmalloc.

EDAC never obeyed this rule: it has a single malloc function that
allocates all needed data into a single kzalloc.

As this is not accepted anymore, change the allocation schema of the
EDAC *_info structs to enforce this Kernel standard.

<title>edac: Rename the parent dev to pdev</title>

As EDAC doesn't use struct device itself, it created a parent dev
pointer called as "pdev".  Now that we'll be converting it to use
struct device, instead of struct devsys, this needs to be fixed.

No functional changes.

<title>edac: avoid mce decoding crash after edac driver unloaded</title>

Some edac drivers register themselves as mce decoders via
notifier_chain. But in current notifier_chain implementation logic,
it doesn't accept same notifier registered twice. If so, it will be
wrong when adding/removing the element from the list. For example,
on one SandyBridge platform, remove module sb_edac and then trigger
one error, it will hit oops because it has no mce decoder registered
but related notifier_chain still points to an invalid callback
function. Here is an example:

Only i7core_edac and sb_edac have such issues because they have more
than one memory controller which means they have to register mce
decoder many times.

Some edac drivers register themselves as mce decoders via
notifier_chain. But in current notifier_chain implementation logic,
it doesn't accept same notifier registered twice. If so, it will be
wrong when adding/removing the element from the list. For example,
on one SandyBridge platform, remove module sb_edac and then trigger
one error, it will hit oops because it has no mce decoder registered
but related notifier_chain still points to an invalid callback
function. Here is an example:
