      x86/mce: Add CMCI poll mode · 55babd8f
      Chen Gong 提交于
      On Intel systems corrected machine check interrupts (CMCI) may be sent to
      multiple logical processors; possibly to all processors on the affected
      socket (SDM Volume 3B "15.5.1 CMCI Local APIC Interface").  This means
      that a persistent error (such as a stuck bit in ECC memory) may cause
      a storm of interrupts that greatly hinders or prevents forward progress
      (probably on many processors).
      
      To solve this we keep track of the rate at which each processor sees
      CMCI. If we exceed a threshold, we disable CMCI delivery and switch to
      polling the machine check banks. If the storm subsides (none of the
      affected processors see any more errors for a complete poll interval) we
      re-enable CMCI.
      
      [Tony: Added console messages when storm begins/ends and increased storm
      threshold from 5 to 15 so we have a few more logged entries before we
      disable interrupts and start dropping reports]

      cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 8a25a2fd
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
      and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
      implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
      
      After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
      sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
      
      Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
      from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

      ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for persistent storage of MCE · 482908b4
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Traditionally, fatal MCE will cause Linux print error log to console
      then reboot. Because MCE registers will preserve their content after
      warm reboot, the hardware error can be logged to disk or network after
      reboot. But system may fail to warm reboot, then you may lose the
      hardware error log. ERST can help here. Through saving the hardware
      error log into flash via ERST before go panic, the hardware error log
      can be gotten from the flash after system boot successful again.
      
      The fatal MCE processing procedure with ERST involved is as follow:
      
      - Hardware detect error, MCE raised
      - MCE read MCE registers, check error severity (fatal), prepare error record
      - Write MCE error record into flash via ERST
      - Go panic, then trigger system reboot
      - System reboot, /sbin/mcelog run, it reads /dev/mcelog to check flash
        for error record of previous boot via ERST, and output and clear
        them if available
      - /sbin/mcelog logs error records into disk or network
      
      ERST only accepts CPER record format, but there is no pre-defined CPER
      section can accommodate all information in struct mce, so a customized
      section type is defined to hold struct mce inside a CPER record as an
      error section.

      x86, mce: implement new status bits · ed7290d0
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The x86 architecture recently added some new machine check status bits:
      S(ignalled) and AR (Action-Required). Signalled allows to check
      if a specific event caused an exception or was just logged through CMCI.
      AR allows the kernel to decide if an event needs immediate action
      or can be delayed or ignored.
      
      Implement support for these new status bits. mce_severity() uses
      the new bits to grade the machine check correctly and decide what
      to do. The exception handler uses AR to decide to kill or not.
      The S bit is used to separate events between the poll/CMCI handler
      and the exception handler.
      
      Classical UC always leads to panic. That was true before anyways
      because the existing CPUs always passed a PCC with it.
      
      Also corrects the rules whether to kill in user or kernel context
      and how to handle missing RIPV.
      
      The machine check handler largely uses the mce-severity grading
      engine now instead of making its own decisions. This means the logic
      is centralized in one place.  This is useful because it has to be
      evaluated multiple times.
      
      v2: Some rule fixes; Add AO events
      Fix RIPV, RIPV|EIPV order (Ying Huang)
      Fix UCNA with AR=1 message (Ying Huang)
      Add comment about panicing in m_c_p.

      x86, mce: add table driven machine check grading · 817f32d0
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The machine check grading (as in deciding what should be done for a given
      register value) has to be done multiple times soon and it's also getting
      more complicated.
      So it makes sense to consolidate it into a single function. To get smaller
      and more straight forward and possibly more extensible code I opted towards
      a new table driven method. The various rules are put into a table
      when is then executed by a very simple interpreter.
      
      The grading engine is in a new file mce-severity.c. I also added a private
      include file mce-internal.h, because mce.h is already a bit too cluttered.
      
      This is dead code right now, but will be used in followon patches.
