dffa4b2f62 x86, mce: Drop the default decoding notifier
The default notifier doesn't make a lot of sense to call in the
correctable errors case. Drop it and emit the mcelog decoding
hint only in the uncorrectable errors case and when no notifier
is registered. Also, limit issuing the "mcelog --ascii" message
in the rare case when we dump unreported CEs before panicking.

While at it, remove unused old x86_mce_decode_callback from the
header.

7b70bd3441 x86, MCE: Do not taint when handling correctable errors
Correctable errors are considered something rather normal on
modern hardware these days. Even more importantly, correctable
errors mean exactly that - they've been corrected by the
hardware - and there's no need to taint the kernel since
execution hasn't been compromised so far.

Also, drop tainting in the thermal throttling code for a similar
reason: crossing a thermal threshold does not mean corruption.

a4dd99250d rcu: create new rcu_access_index() and use in mce
The MCE subsystem needs to sample an RCU-protected index outside of
any protection for that index.  If this was a pointer, we would use
rcu_access_pointer(), but there is no corresponding rcu_access_index().
This commit therefore creates an rcu_access_index() and applies it
to MCE.

f3c6ea1b06 x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevs
Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose.  This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.

Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c).  In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.

885b976fad ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cache
APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users
in mind.  For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1,
2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow,

reader 1		reader 2
1
			2
3
			4
-1
			-1

where -1 signals there is no more record ID.

Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no
chance to check record 1 and 3.  And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will
return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any
record even they are not cleared by anyone.

This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple
users.

To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and
implemented.  When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to
caller.  So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID
available.

cpu_info is already with per_cpu, We can take llc_shared_map out

So later referencing could be simple and directly instead of

c410b83077 x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPI
With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.

This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit.  Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement.  This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

166d751479 x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlers
In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities
for the die notifiers.

I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the
notifier blocks.  Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created
priorities.

Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the
event DIE_NMI_IPI.

This patch adds code to therm_throt.c to notify core thermal threshold

The status/log for the same is monitored using the IA32_THERM_STATUS register.
The necessary #defines are in msr-index.h. A call back is added to mce.h, to
further notify the thermal stack, about the threshold events.

27afdf2008 apic, x86: Use BIOS settings for IBS and MCE threshold interrupt LVT offsets
We want the BIOS to setup the EILVT APIC registers. The offsets
were hardcoded and BIOS settings were overwritten by the OS.
Now, the subsystems for MCE threshold and IBS determine the LVT
offset from the registers the BIOS has setup. If the BIOS setup
is buggy on a family 10h system, a workaround enables IBS. If
the OS determines an invalid register setup, a "[Firmware Bug]:
" error message is reported.

We need this change also for upcomming cpu families.

6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

6dcbfe4f0b x86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order
This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in
the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware.

The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the
Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM
thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if
the bit is cleared.

But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which
points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which
might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only
after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the
block pointer too, we miss that other information.

The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on
MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked
prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group,
irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.

592091c0e2 therm_throt.c: Trivial printk message fix for a unsuitable abbreviation of 'thermal'
In unexpected_thermal_interrupt(), "LVT TMR interrupt" is used
in error message.

I don't think TMR is a suitable abbreviation for thermal.
  1.TMR has been used in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's
    Manual, and is the abbreviation for Trigger Mode Register.
  2.There is not an standard abbreviation "TMR" defined for thermal
    in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
  3.Though we could understand it as Thermal Monitor Register, it is
    easy to be misunderstood as a *TIMER* interrupt also.

I think this patch will fix it.

Power limit notification feature is published in Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures SDMV Vol 3A 14.5.6 Power Limit Notification.

It is implemented first on Intel Sandy Bridge platform.

The patch handles notification interrupt. Interrupt handler dumps power limit
information in log_buf, logs the event in mce log, and increases the event
counters (core_power_limit and package_power_limit). Upper level applications
could use the data to detect system health or diagnose functionality/performance
issues.

In the future, the event could be handled in a more fancy way.

55d435a227 x86, hwmon: Package Level Thermal/Power: thermal throttling handler
Add package level thermal throttle interrupt support. The interrupt handler
increases package level thermal throttle count. It also logs the event in MCE
log.

The package level thermal throttle interrupt happens across threads in a
package. Each thread handles the interrupt individually. User level application
is supposed to retrieve correct event count and log based on package/thread
topology. This is the same situation for core level interrupt handler. In the
future, interrupt may be reported only per package or per core.

core_throttle_count and package_throttle_count are used for user interface.
Previously only throttle_count is used for core throttle count. If you think
new core_throttle_count name breaks user interface, I can change this part.

482908b49e ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for persistent storage of MCE
Traditionally, fatal MCE will cause Linux print error log to console
then reboot. Because MCE registers will preserve their content after
warm reboot, the hardware error can be logged to disk or network after
reboot. But system may fail to warm reboot, then you may lose the
hardware error log. ERST can help here. Through saving the hardware
error log into flash via ERST before go panic, the hardware error log
can be gotten from the flash after system boot successful again.

The fatal MCE processing procedure with ERST involved is as follow:

- Hardware detect error, MCE raised
- MCE read MCE registers, check error severity (fatal), prepare error record
- Write MCE error record into flash via ERST
- Go panic, then trigger system reboot
- System reboot, /sbin/mcelog run, it reads /dev/mcelog to check flash
  for error record of previous boot via ERST, and output and clear
  them if available
- /sbin/mcelog logs error records into disk or network

ERST only accepts CPER record format, but there is no pre-defined CPER
section can accommodate all information in struct mce, so a customized
section type is defined to hold struct mce inside a CPER record as an
error section.

d334a49113 ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source memory error support
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More
notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These
memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
threshold.

On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
GHES is implemented firstly.
