v4 cover Fix CPER issues related to UEFI 2.9A Errata

The UEFI 2.9A errata makes clear how ARM processor type encoding should be done: it is meant to be equal to Generic processor, using a bitmask.

The current code assumes, for both generic and ARM processor types that this is an integer, which is an incorrect assumption.

Fix it. While here, also fix a compilation issue when using W=1.

After the change, Kernel will properly decode receiving two errors at the same message, as defined at UEFI spec:

If it had been kernel doc, W=1 would have told you mask is missing.

Passing a 0 for mask seems probably not worth while. If all bits of the unsigned int are set then people can pass ~0

Or make this cper_bits_to_str_masked() and have cper_bits_to_str() that doesn't take a mask.

If you do that, some simplifications can be easily made.

I tried to preserve the original non-kernel-doc way, as I'm not sure why other comments on this file are not marked as kernel-doc stuff.

The code there at cper.c also has other coding style issues - for instance it uses printk() without an error level.

Anyway, I intend to submit later on a separate patch series converting the existing function documentation stuff to kernel-doc (and adding to Documentation if not there already), and maybe addressing some other coding style issues.

Yet, I would prefer to have such changes out of this fix patch series.

If it had been kernel doc, W=1 would have told you mask is missing.

Yeah, I saw that just after hitting send :-) I'll add mask at v5.

Quoted 2 lines

Passing a 0 for mask seems probably not worth while. If all bits of the unsigned int are set then people can pass ~0

Makes sense.

Quoted 8 lines

Or make this cper_bits_to_str_masked() and have cper_bits_to_str() that doesn't take a mask.

If you do that, some simplifications can be easily made.

Perhaps make bits an unsigned long as then you can use the for_each_set_bit() etc.

No need to to that if we use for_each_set_bit().

Obviously setting bits that aren't in the mask is odd though so maybe a warning print if that happens?

The code already warns about that printing:

"reserved bit(s)"

at the output buffer.

PATCH v4 3/3 efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs

In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Up to UEFI spec, 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

See: https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/Apx_N_Common_Platform_Error_Record.html#arm-processor-error-information

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

Maybe drop this mask complexity and just use FIELD_GET() to extract the relevant field with no shift from 0.

IMO not using the function will make the code here more complex, as the same code needs to be duplicated on two places: here and at ghes, where the error bits are printed using pr_warn_ratelimited():

                cper_bits_to_str(error_type, sizeof(error_type), err_info->type,
                                 cper_proc_error_type_strs,

Also, other parts of CPER uses cper_bits_print() for the same reason:
to have the common print code handled inside a function instead of repeating the same print pattern everywhere.

The UEFI 2.9A errata makes clear how ARM processor type encoding should be done: it is meant to be equal to Generic processor, using a bitmask.

The current code assumes, for both generic and ARM processor types that this is an integer, which is an incorrect assumption.

Fix it. While here, also fix a compilation issue when using W=1.

After the change, Kernel will properly decode receiving two errors at the same message, as defined at UEFI spec:

Sorry, I'll add a version review on that. Basically I was missing a test environment to do error injection. When I got it enabled, and fixed to cope with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 expected behavior, I was able to discover some issues and to do some code improvements.

v1:
- (tagged as RFC) was mostly to give a heads up that the current implementation is not following the spec. It also touches only cper code.

v2:
- It fixes the way printks are handled on both cper_arm and ghes drivers;

v3:
- It adds a helper function to produce a buffer describing the error bits at cper's printk and ghes pr_warn_bitrated. It also fixes a W=1 error while building cper;

v4:
- The print function had some bugs on it, which was discovered with the help of an error injection tool I'm now using.

I have already another version ready to send. It does some code cleanup and address the issues pointed by Tony and Jonathan. If you prefer, I can hold it until Monday to give you some time to look at it.

Thanks,
Mauro
