This commit abstracts MCE calls and provides weak corresponding default
implementation for those architectures which do not need arch specific
actions. Each platform willing to do additional architectural actions
should provides desired function definition. It allows us to avoid wrap
code into #ifdef in generic code and prevent new platform from introducing
dummy stub function too.
Initially, there are two APEI arch-specific calls:
- arch_apei_enable_cmcff()
- arch_apei_report_mem_error()
Both interact with MCE driver for X86 architecture.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.
The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.
Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.
Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

We do use memcpy to avoid access alignment issues between firmware and
OS. Now we can use a better and standard way to avoid this issue. While
at it, simplify some variable names to avoid the 80 cols limit and
use structure assignment instead of unnecessary memcpy. No functional
changes.
Because ERST record id cache is implemented in memory to increase the
access speed via caching ERST content we can refrain from using memcpy
there too and use regular assignment instead.

To avoid build problems and breaking dependencies between ACPI header
files, <acpi/acpi.h> should not be included directly by code outside
of the ACPI core subsystem. However, that is possible if
<linux/acpi_io.h> is included, because that file contains
a direct inclusion of <acpi/acpi.h>.
For this reason, remove the direct <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion from
<linux/acpi_io.h>, move that file from include/linux/ to include/acpi/
and make <linux/acpi.h> include it for CONFIG_ACPI set along with the
other ACPI header files. Accordingly, Remove the inclusions of
<linux/acpi_io.h> from everywhere.
Of course, that causes the contents of the new <acpi/acpi_io.h> file
to be available for CONFIG_ACPI set only, so intel_opregion.o that
depends on it should also depend on CONFIG_ACPI (and it really should
not be compiled for CONFIG_ACPI unset anyway).

The current code incorrectly assumes that
(1) the APEI register bit width is always 8, 16, 32, or 64 and
(2) the APEI register bit width is always equal to the APEI
register access width.
ERST serialization instructions entries such as:
[030h 0048 1] Action : 00 [Begin Write Operation]
[031h 0049 1] Instruction : 03 [Write Register Value]
[032h 0050 1] Flags (decoded below) : 01

break this assumption by yielding:
[Firmware Bug]: APEI: Invalid bit width in GAR [0x7f2d7038/3/0]
I have found no ACPI specification requirements corresponding
with the above assumptions. There is even a good example in
the Serialization Instruction Entries section (ACPI 4.0 section
17.4,1.2, ACPI 4.0a section 2.5.1.2, ACPI 5.0 section 18.5.1.2)
that mentions a serialization instruction with a bit range of
[6:2] which is 5 bits wide, _not_ 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits wide.

This change expands acpi_os_read_memory and acpi_os_write_memory to a

interfaces remain at 32 bits, because 64 bits is not needed to
access the standard ACPI registers.

Base ACPI (CA) currently does not support atomic 64-bit reads and writes
(acpi_read() and acpi_write() split 64-bit loads/stores into two
32-bit transfers) yet APEI expects 64-bit transfer capability, even
when running on 32-bit systems.
This patch implements 64-bit read and write routines for APEI usage.
This patch re-factors similar functionality introduced in commit
04c25997c9, bringing it into the ACPI subsystem in preparation for
removing ./drivers/acpi/atomicio.[ch]. In the implementation I have
replicated acpi_os_read_memory() and acpi_os_write_memory(), creating
64-bit versions for APEI to utilize, as opposed to something more
elegant. My thinking is that we should attempt to see if we can get
ACPI's CA/OSL changed so that the existing acpi_read() and acpi_write()
interfaces are natively 64-bit capable and then subsequently remove the
replication.

APEI needs memory access in interrupt context. The obvious choice is
acpi_read(), but originally it couldn't be used in interrupt context
because it makes temporary mappings with ioremap(). Therefore, we added
drivers/acpi/atomicio.c, which provides:
acpi_pre_map_gar() -- ioremap in process context
acpi_atomic_read() -- memory access in interrupt context
acpi_post_unmap_gar() -- iounmap
Later we added acpi_os_map_generic_address() (2971852) and enhanced
acpi_read() so it works in interrupt context as long as the address has
been previously mapped (620242a). Now this sequence:
acpi_os_map_generic_address() -- ioremap in process context
acpi_read()/apei_read() -- now OK in interrupt context
acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
is equivalent to what atomicio.c provides.
This patch introduces apei_read() and apei_write(), which currently are
functional equivalents of acpi_read() and acpi_write(). This is mainly
proactive, to prevent APEI breakages if acpi_read() and acpi_write()
are ever augmented to support the 'bit_offset' field of GAS, as APEI's
__apei_exec_write_register() precludes splitting up functionality
related to 'bit_offset' and APEI's 'mask' (see its
APEI_EXEC_PRESERVE_REGISTER block).
With apei_read() and apei_write() in place, usages of atomicio routines
are converted to apei_read()/apei_write() and existing calls within
osl.c and the CA, based on the re-factoring that was done in an earlier
patch series - http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=128769263327206&w=2:
acpi_pre_map_gar() --> acpi_os_map_generic_address()
acpi_post_unmap_gar() --> acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
acpi_atomic_read() --> apei_read()
acpi_atomic_write() --> apei_write()
Note that acpi_read() and acpi_write() currently use 'bit_width'
for accessing GARs which seems incorrect. 'bit_width' is the size of
the register, while 'access_width' is the size of the access the
processor must generate on the bus. The 'access_width' may be larger,
for example, if the hardware only supports 32-bit or 64-bit reads. I
wanted to minimize any possible impacts with this patch series so I
did *not* change this behavior.

Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI. That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region. The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mech. But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.
To fix this, this patch excludes ACPI NVS regions when APEI components

Some actions in APEI ERST and EINJ tables are optional, for example,
ACPI_EINJ_BEGIN_OPERATION action is used to do some preparation for

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.

APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report
errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This
improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error
serialization and error injection.
For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 4.0, chapter 17.
This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI
tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST.
A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to
execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding
functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a
common framework is defined for them.
