<title>ACPI: APEI: Fix AER info corruption when error status data has multiple sections</title>

ghes_handle_aer() passes AER data to the PCI core for logging and
recovery by calling aer_recover_queue() with a pointer to struct
aer_capability_regs.

The problem was that aer_recover_queue() queues the pointer directly
without copying the aer_capability_regs data.  The pointer was to
the ghes-&gt;estatus buffer, which could be reused before
aer_recover_work_func() reads the data.

To avoid this problem, allocate a new aer_capability_regs structure
from the ghes_estatus_pool, copy the AER data from the ghes-&gt;estatus
buffer into it, pass a pointer to the new struct to
aer_recover_queue(), and free it after aer_recover_work_func() has
processed it.

Commit

  dc4e8c07e9e2 ("ACPI: APEI: explicit init of HEST and GHES in apci_init()")

introduced a bug leading to ghes_edac_register() to be invoked before
edac_init(). Because at that time the bus "edac" hadn't been even
registered, this created sysfs nodes as /devices/mc0 instead of
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0 on an Ampere eMag server.

Fix this by turning ghes_edac into a proper module.

The list of GHES devices returned is not protected from being modified
concurrently but it is pretty static as it gets created only during GHES
init and latter is not a module so...

<content type='text'>
To make ghes_edac a proper module, prepare to decouple its dependencies
from GHES.

Move the ghes_edac.force_load parameter to ghes.c in order to
properly control whether ghes_edac should be force-loaded: In
ghes_edac_register() it is too late to set the module flag.

Introduce a helper ghes_get_devices(), which returns the list of GHES
devices which got probed when the platform-check passes on the system.

The previous force_load check is not needed in ghes_edac_unregister()
since it will be checked in the module's init function of ghes_edac
later.

In order to make it a proper module and disentangle it from facilities,
add a notifier for reporting memory errors. Use an atomic notifier
because calls sites like ghes_proc_in_irq() run in interrupt context.

<title>ACPI: APEI: Fix integer overflow in ghes_estatus_pool_init()</title>

Change num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow
and causing subsequent vmalloc() to fail.

The overflow happens in ghes_estatus_pool_init() when calculating
len during execution of the statement below as both multiplication
operands here are signed int:

len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);

The following call trace is observed because of this bug:

[    9.317108] swapper/0: vmalloc error: size 18446744071562596352, exceeds total pages, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1

<title>ACPI / APEI: Add a notifier chain for unknown (vendor) CPER records</title>

<id>9aa9cf3ee9451d08adafc03cef8e44c7ea3898e7</id>
<content type='text'>
CPER records describing a firmware-first error are identified by GUID.
The ghes driver currently logs, but ignores any unknown CPER records.
This prevents describing errors that can't be represented by a standard
entry, that would otherwise allow a driver to recover from an error.
The UEFI spec calls these 'Non-standard Section Body' (N.2.3 of
version 2.8).

Add a notifier chain for these non-standard/vendor-records. Callers
must identify their type of records by GUID.

Record data is copied to memory from the ghes_estatus_pool to allow
us to keep it until after the notifier has run.

memory_failure() offlines or repairs pages of memory that have been
discovered to be corrupt. These may be detected by an external
component, (e.g. the memory controller), and notified via an IRQ.
In this case the work is queued as not all of memory_failure()s work
can happen in IRQ context.

If the error was detected as a result of user-space accessing a
corrupt memory location the CPU may take an abort instead. On arm64
this is a 'synchronous external abort', and on a firmware first
system it is replayed using NOTIFY_SEA.

This notification has NMI like properties, (it can interrupt
IRQ-masked code), so the memory_failure() work is queued. If we
return to user-space before the queued memory_failure() work is
processed, we will take the fault again. This loop may cause platform
firmware to exceed some threshold and reboot when Linux could have
recovered from this error.

For NMIlike notifications keep track of whether memory_failure() work
was queued, and make task_work pending to flush out the queue.
To save memory allocations, the task_work is allocated as part of
the ghes_estatus_node, and free()ing it back to the pool is deferred.

<title>ACPI / APEI: Don't update struct ghes' flags in read/clear estatus</title>

ghes_read_estatus() sets a flag in struct ghes if the buffer of
CPER records needs to be cleared once the records have been
processed. This flag value is a problem if a struct ghes can be
processed concurrently, as happens at probe time if an NMI arrives
for the same error source. The NMI clears the flag, meaning the
interrupted handler may never do the ghes_estatus_clear() work.

The GHES_TO_CLEAR flags is only set at the same time as
buffer_paddr, which is now owned by the caller and passed to
ghes_clear_estatus(). Use this value as the flag.

A non-zero buf_paddr returned by ghes_read_estatus() means
ghes_clear_estatus() should clear this address. ghes_read_estatus()
already checks for a read of error_status_address being zero,
so CPER records cannot be written here.

<title>ACPI / APEI: Don't store CPER records physical address in struct ghes</title>

When CPER records are found the address of the records is stashed
in the struct ghes. Once the records have been processed, this
address is overwritten with zero so that it won't be processed
again without being re-populated by firmware.

This goes wrong if a struct ghes can be processed concurrently,
as can happen at probe time when an NMI occurs. If the NMI arrives
on another CPU, the probing CPU may call ghes_clear_estatus() on the
records before the handler had finished with them.
Even on the same CPU, once the interrupted handler is resumed, it
will call ghes_clear_estatus() on the NMIs records, this memory may
have already been re-used by firmware.

Avoid this stashing by letting the caller hold the address. A
later patch will do away with the use of ghes-&gt;flags in the
read/clear code too.
