      powerpc/book3s: Decode and save machine check event. · 36df96f8
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
      take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
      in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
      and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
      MCE information.
      
      We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
      available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
      another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
      stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
      our MCE information safe on current stack.
      
      We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
      is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
      mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
      machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
      (index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
      MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.
      
      This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
      generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
      retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
      that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
      either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
      fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
      release_mce_event().
      
      This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
      mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.
      
      The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
      that event is available for linus host machine
      
      If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
      If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
      delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
      exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
      which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
      case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
      consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
      and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

      powerpc/book3s: Flush SLB/TLBs if we get SLB/TLB machine check errors on power8. · ae744f34
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      This patch handles the memory errors on power8. If we get a machine check
      exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to
      recover.

      powerpc/book3s: Flush SLB/TLBs if we get SLB/TLB machine check errors on power7. · e22a2274
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      If we get a machine check exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush
      SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to recover. We do this in real mode before turning
      on MMU. Otherwise we would run into nested machine checks.
      
      If we get a machine check when we are in guest, then just flush the
      SLBs and continue. This patch handles errors for power7. The next
      patch will handle errors for power8
