      x86, mce: implement panic synchronization · f94b61c2
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      In some circumstances multiple CPUs can enter mce_panic() in parallel.
      This gives quite confused output because they will all dump the same
      machine check buffer.
      
      The other problem is that they would all panic in parallel, but not
      process each other's shutdown IPIs because interrupts are disabled.
      
      Detect this situation early on in mce_panic(). On the first CPU
      entering will do the panic, the others will just wait to be killed.
      
      For paranoia reasons in case the other CPU dies during the MCE I added
      a 5 seconds timeout. If it expires each CPU will panic on its own again.

      x86, mce: implement bootstrapping for machine check wakeups · ccc3c319
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
      
      The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
      a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
      it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
      to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
      to call wake_up().  Instead it set a process flag
      and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
      or in the idle notifier.
      
      This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
      
      The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
      it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
      When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
      section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
      an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
      triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
      once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
      wake_up().
      
      When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
      eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
      compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
      
      Contains fixes from Ying Huang.

      x86, mce: check early in exception handler if panic is needed · bd19a5e6
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The exception handler should behave differently if the exception is
      fatal versus one that can be returned from.  In the first case it should
      never clear any registers because these need to be preserved
      for logging after the next boot. Otherwise it should clear them
      on each CPU step by step so that other CPUs sharing the same bank don't
      see duplicate events. Otherwise we risk reporting events multiple
      times on any CPUs which have shared machine check banks, which
      is a common problem on Intel Nehalem which has both SMT (two
      CPU threads sharing banks) and shared machine check banks in the uncore.
      
      Determine early in a special pass if any event requires a panic.
      This uses the mce_severity() function added earlier.
      
      This is needed for the next patch.
      
      Also fixes a problem together with an earlier patch
      that corrected events weren't logged on a fatal MCE.

      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.

      x86, mce: remove TSC print heuristic · a0189c70
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Previously mce_panic used a simple heuristic to avoid printing
      old so far unreported machine check events on a mce panic. This worked
      by comparing the TSC value at the start of the machine check handler
      with the event time stamp and only printing newer ones.
      
      This has a couple of issues, in particular on systems where the TSC
      is not fully synchronized between CPUs it could lose events or print
      old ones.
      
      It is also problematic with full system synchronization as it is
      added by the next patch.
      
      Remove the TSC heuristic and instead replace it with a simple heuristic
      to print corrected errors first and after that uncorrected errors
      and finally the worst machine check as determined by the machine
      check handler.
      
      This simplifies the code because there is no need to pass the
      original TSC value around.

      x86, mce: log corrected errors when panicing · de8a84d8
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Normally the machine check handler ignores corrected errors and leaves
      them to machine_check_poll(). But when panicing mcp won't run, so
      log all errors.
      
      Note: this can still miss some cases until the "early no way out"
      patch later is applied too.

      x86, mce: extend struct mce user interface with more information. · 8ee08347
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Experience has shown that struct mce which is used to pass an machine
      check to the user space daemon currently a few limitations.  Also some
      data which is useful to print at panic level is also missing.
      
      This patch addresses most of them. The same information is also
      printed out together with mce panic.
      
      struct mce can be painlessly extended in a compatible way, the mcelog
      user space code just ignores additional fields with a warning.
      
      - It doesn't provide a wall time timestamp. There have been a few
        complaints about that. Fix that by adding a 64bit time_t
      
      - It doesn't provide the exact CPU identification. This makes
        it awkward for mcelog to decode the event correctly, especially
        when there are variations in the supported MCE codes on different
        CPU models or when mcelog is running on a different host after a panic.
        Previously the administrator had to specify the correct CPU
        when mcelog ran on a different host, but with the more variation
        in machine checks now it's better to auto detect that.
        It's also useful for more detailed analysis of CPU events.
        Pass CPUID 1.EAX and the cpu vendor (as encoded in processor.h) instead.
      
      - Socket ID and initial APIC ID are useful to report because they
        allow to identify the failing CPU in some (not all) cases.
        This is also especially useful for the panic situation.
        This addresses one of the complaints from Thomas Gleixner earlier.
      
      - The MCG capabilities MSR needs to be reported for some advanced
        error processing in mcelog
