v3 cover Fix issues with ARM Processor CPER records

This is needed for both kernelspace and userspace properly handle ARM processor CPER events.

Patch 1 of this series fix the UEFI 2.6+ implementation of the ARM trace event, as the original implementation was incomplete. Changeset e9279e83ad1f ("trace, ras: add ARM processor error trace event") added such event, but it reports only some fields of the CPER record defined on UEFI 2.6+ appendix N, table N.16. Those are not enough actually parse such events on userspace, as not even the event type is exported.

Patch 2 fixes a compilation breakage when W=1;

Patch 3 adds a new helper function to be used by cper and ghes drivers to display CPER bitmaps;

Patch 4 fixes CPER logic according with UEFI 2.9A errata. Before it, there was no description about how processor type field was encoded. The errata defines it as a bitmask, and provides the information about how it should be encoded.

Patch 5 adds CPER functions to Kernel-doc.

This series was validated with the help of an ARM EINJ code for QEMU:

I also tested the ghes and cper reports both with and without this change, using different versions of rasdaemon, with and without support for the extended trace event. Those are a summary of the test results:

- adding more fields to the trace events didn't break userspace API:
both versions of rasdaemon handled it;

- the rasdaemon patches to handle the new trace report was missing a backward-compatibility logic. I fixed already. So, rasdaemon can now handle both old and new trace events.

Btw, rasdaemon has gained support for the extended trace since its version 0.5.8 (released in 2021). I didn't saw any issues there complain about troubles on it, so either distros used on ARM servers are using an old version of rasdaemon, or they're carrying on the trace event changes as well.

---

v3:
- rebased on the top of 6.11-rc1;
- test example updated to reflect latest error-inj patch series submitted to qemu-devel

v2:
- removed an uneeded patch adding #ifdef for CONFIG_ARM/ARM64;
- cper_bits_to_str() now returns the number of chars filled at the buffer;
- did a cosmetic (blank lines) improvement at include/linux/ras.h;
- arm_event trace dynamic arrays renamed to pei_buf/ctx_buf/oem_buf.

PATCH v3 1/5 RAS: Report all ARM processor CPER information to userspace

From: Daniel Ferguson <[email protected]>

The ARM processor CPER record was added at UEFI 2.6, and hasn't any changes up to UEFI 2.10 on its struct.

Yet, the original arm_event trace code added on changeset e9279e83ad1f ("trace, ras: add ARM processor error trace event") is incomplete, as it only traces some fields of UAPI 2.6 table N.16, not exporting at all any information from tables N.17 to N.29 of the record.

This is not enough for user to take appropriate action or to log what exactly happened.

According to UEFI_2_9 specification chapter N2.4.4, the ARM processor error section includes:

- several (ERR_INFO_NUM) ARM processor error information structures (Tables N.17 to N.20);
- several (CONTEXT_INFO_NUM) ARM processor context information structures (Tables N.21 to N.29);
- several vendor specific error information structures. The size is given by Section Length minus the size of the other fields.

In addition to those data, it also exports two fields that are parsed by the GHES driver when firmware reports it, e. g.:

- error severity
- cpu logical index

Report all of these information to userspace via trace uAPI, So that userspace can properly record the error and take decisions related to cpu core isolation according to error severity and other info.

After this patch, all the data from ARM Processor record from table N.16 are directly or indirectly visible on userspace:

====================================== =============================
UEFI field on table N.16 ARM Processor trace fields
====================================== =============================
Validation handled when filling data for
affinity MPIDR and running state.
ERR_INFO_NUM pei_len
CONTEXT_INFO_NUM ctx_len
Section Length indirectly reported by
pei_len, ctx_len and oem_len
Error affinity level affinity
MPIDR_EL1 mpidr
MIDR_EL1 midr
Running State running_state
PSCI State psci_state
Processor Error Information Structure pei_err - count at pei_len
Processor Context ctx_err- count at ctx_len
Vendor Specific Error Info oem - count at oem_len
====================================== =============================

It should be noticed that decoding of tables N.17 to N.29, if needed, will be handled on userspace. That gives more flexibility, as there won't be any need to flood the Kernel with micro-architecture specific error decoding).
Also, decoding the other fields require a complex logic, and should be done for each of the several values inside the record field. So, let userspace daemons like rasdaemon decode them, parsing such tables and having vendor-specific micro-architecture-specific decoders.

PATCH v3 2/5 efi/cper: Adjust infopfx size to accept an extra space

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Compiling with W=1 with werror enabled produces an error:

drivers/firmware/efi/cper-arm.c:298:64: error: ‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character [-Werror=format-truncation=]

As the logic there adds an space at the end of infopx buffer. Add an extra space to avoid such warning.

Sometimes it is desired to produce a single log line for errors. Add a new helper function for such purpose.

PATCH v3 4/5 efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Up to UEFI spec 2.9, the type byte of CPER struct for ARM processor was defined simply as:

Type at byte offset 4:

- Cache error
- TLB Error
- Bus Error
- Micro-architectural Error
All other values are reserved

Yet, there was no information about how this would be encoded.

Spec 2.9A errata corrected it by defining:

- Bit 1 - Cache Error
- Bit 2 - TLB Error
- Bit 3 - Bus Error
- Bit 4 - Micro-architectural Error
All other values are reserved

That actually aligns with the values already defined on older versions at N.2.4.1. Generic Processor Error Section.

Spec 2.10 also preserve the same encoding as 2.9A.

Adjust CPER and GHES handling code for both generic and ARM processors to properly handle UEFI 2.9A and 2.10 encoding.

PATCH v3 5/5 docs: efi: add CPER functions to driver-api

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

There are two kernel-doc like descriptions at cper, which is used by other parts of cper and on ghes driver. They both have kernel-doc like descriptions.

Change the tags for them to be actual kernel-doc tags and add them to the driver-api documentaion at the UEFI section.
