[v5,0/4] fix CPER issues related to UEFI 2.9A Errata

Message

Mauro Carvalho Chehab June 24, 2024, 9:19 a.m. UTC

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:

[   75.282430] Memory failure: 0x5cdfd: recovery action for free buddy page: Recovered

And the error code is properly decoded according with table N.17 from UEFI 2.10
spec:

	[   94.981893] {2}[Hardware Error]:    error_type: 0x0006: cache error|TLB error

The error injection logic was checked via QEMU using this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/

v5:
- Do some cleanups and minor fixes as suggested by Jonathan and Tony:
  - check errors at strscpy();
  - simplify cper_bits_to_str() function;
  - use FIELD_GET() and for_each_set_bit();
  - use ARRAY_SIZE() on infofx to let it clear that it should be size of newpfx + 1;
  - fix kernel-doc warning with W=1;
  - use kernel-doc for two exported functions at cper.c.

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

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.

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

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.
