EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS. Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support it. But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for some BIOS. So param support is disabled by default and only enabled when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is explicitly specified.

memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error recovery. It must be called in process context. But commonly hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed execution mechanism must be used. In MCE handler, a work queue + ring buffer mechanism is used. In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors too. To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar to that of MCE is implemented. memory_failure_queue() is the new entry point that can be called in IRQ context. The next step is to make MCE handler uses this interface too.

printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors. Ratelimit is enforced on the printk to avoid too many hardware error reports in kernel log. Because there may be thousands or even millions of corrected hardware errors during system running. Currently, a simple scheme is used. That is, the total number of hardware error reporting is ratelimited. This may cause some issues in practice. For example, there are two kinds of hardware errors occurred in system. One is corrected memory error, because the fault memory address is accessed frequently, there may be hundreds error report per-second. The other is corrected PCIe AER error, it will be reported once per-second. Because they share one ratelimit control structure, it is highly possible that only memory error is reported. To avoid the above issue, an error record content based throttle algorithm is implemented in the patch. Where after the first successful reporting, all error records that are same are throttled for some time, to let other kinds of error records have the opportunity to be reported. In above example, the memory errors will be throttled for some time, after being printked. Then the PCIe AER error will be printked successfully.

Some APEI GHES recoverable errors are reported via NMI, but printk is not safe in NMI context. To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated memory, put the error record into a lock-less list. On the other hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to IRQ context. The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing include recovery operation, then free the memory.

This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some other operations. Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1). If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that. If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in the consumer. This can be summarized as follow: | add | del_first | del_all add | - | - | - del_first | | L | L del_all | | | - Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is needed. The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the order by yourself before traversing. The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation. This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different implementation according to it. On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

In APEI firmware first mode, hardware error is reported by hardware to firmware firstly, then firmware reports the error to Linux in a GHES error record via POLL/SCI/IRQ/NMI etc. This may result in some issues if OS has no full APEI support. So some firmware implementation will work in a back-compatible mode by default. Where firmware will only notify OS in old-fashion, without GHES record. For example, for a fatal hardware error, only NMI is signaled, no GHES record. To gain full APEI power on these machines, APEI bit in generic _OSC call can be specified to tell firmware that Linux has full APEI support. This patch adds the APEI bit support in generic _OSC call.

GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) is used to process hardware error notification in firmware first mode. But because firmware first mode can be turned on but can not be turned off, it is unreasonable to unload the GHES module with firmware first mode turned on. To avoid confusion, this patch makes GHES can be enabled/disabled in configuration time, but not built as module and unloaded at run time.

Huang Ying authored
Some actions in APEI ERST and EINJ tables are optional, for example, ACPI_EINJ_BEGIN_OPERATION action is used to do some preparation for error injection, and firmware may choose to do nothing here. While some other actions are mandatory, for example, firmware must provide ACPI_EINJ_GET_ERROR_TYPE implementation. Original implementation treats all actions as optional (that is, can have no instructions), that may cause issue if firmware does not provide some mandatory actions. To fix this, this patch adds apei_exec_run_optional, which should be used for optional actions. The original apei_exec_run should be used for mandatory actions.

Because there may be thousands or even millions of corrected hardware errors during system running.

i915_driver_load adds a write-combining MTRR region for the GTT aperture to improve memory speeds through the aperture. If i915_driver_load fails after this, it would not have cleaned up the MTRR. This shouldn't cause any problems, except for consuming an MTRR register. Still, it's best to clean up completely in the failure path, which is easily done by calling mtrr_del if the mtrr was successfully allocated. i915_driver_load calls i915_gem_load which register i915_gem_inactive_shrink. If i915_driver_load fails after calling i915_gem_load, the shrinker will be left registered. When called, it will access freed memory and crash. The fix is to unregister the shrinker in the failure path using code duplicated from i915_driver_unload. i915_driver_load also has some incorrect gotos in the error cleanup paths: * After failing to initialize the GTT (which cannot happen, btw, intel_gtt_get returns a fixed (non-NULL) value), it tries to free the uninitialized WC IO mapping.

Just compiling pseries in the kernel causes it to override memory_block_size_bytes() regardless of what is the runtime platform. This cleans up the implementation of that function, fixing a bug or two while at it, so that it's harmless (and potentially useful) for other platforms. Without this, bugs in that code would trigger a WARN_ON() in drivers/base/memory.c when booting some different platforms. If/when we have another platform supporting memory hotplug we might want to either move that out to a generic place or make it a ppc_md. callback.
