[PATCH v2 0/7] enable ghes_edac on selected platforms

[PATCH v2 0/7] enable ghes_edac on selected platforms

[Toshi Kani]

The ghes_edac driver was introduced in 2013 [1], but it has not been
enabled by any distro yet.  This is because the driver obtains error
info from firmware interfaces, which are not properly implemented on
many platforms.

To get out from this situation, add a platform check to selectively
enable the driver on the platforms that are known to have proper
firmware implementation.  Platform vendors can add their platforms to
the list when they support ghes_edac.

Patch 1-2 introduces a common function for platform check.
Patch 3 improves GHES check for ghes_edac.
Patch 4 optimizes ghes_edac init code.
Patch 5 introduces platform check to ghes_edac.
Patch 6-7 optimizes regular edac driver's init code when ghes_edac is used.

v2:
 - Address review comments (patch 1).
 - Add OSC APEI check (patch 3).
 - Avoid multiple dmi_walk (patch 4).
 - Add EDAC MC owner check (patch 6,7)

Toshi Kani (7):
 1/7 ACPI / blacklist: add acpi_match_oemlist() interface
 2/7 intel_pstate: convert to use acpi_match_oemlist()
 3/7 ACPI / APEI: add OSC APEI bit check for ghes_edac
 4/7 ghes_edac: avoid multiple calls to dmi_walk()
 5/7 ghes_edac: add platform check to enable ghes_edac
 6/7 EDAC: add edac_check_mc_owner() to check MC owner
 7/7 edac drivers: add MC owner check in init

[PATCH v2 1/7] ACPI / blacklist: add acpi_match_oemlist() interface

[Toshi Kani]

ACPI OEM ID / OEM Table ID / Revision can be used to identify
a platform based on ACPI firmware info.  acpi_blacklisted(),
intel_pstate_platform_pwr_mgmt_exists(), and some other funcs,
have been using similar check to detect a list of platforms
that require special handlings.

Move the platform check in acpi_blacklisted() to a new common
utility function, acpi_match_oemlist(), so that other drivers
do not have to implement their own version.

There is no change in functionality.

[PATCH v2 3/7] ACPI / APEI: add OSC APEI bit check for ghes_edac

[Toshi Kani]

When 'osc_sb_apei_support_acked' is set, it indicates that
the platform supports APEI, firmware-first mode, as ACPI _OSC
capability bit 4, APEI Support, was set in query.  While _OSC
is an optional method, platforms with APEI support should
implement it to inform its capability to the OS properly.

Add check to 'osc_sb_apei_support_acked' before calling
ghes_edac_register() to restrict that ghes_edac is enabled
on platforms with APEI support capability set in _OSC.

[Toshi Kani]

ghes_edac_register() is called for each GHES platform device
instantiated per a GHES entry in ACPI HEST table.  dmi_walk()
counts the number of DIMMs on the system, and there is no need
to call it multiple times.

'num_dimm' is uninitialized.

[PATCH v2 5/7] ghes_edac: add platform check to enable ghes_edac

[Toshi Kani]

The ghes_edac driver was introduced in 2013 [1], but it has not
been enabled by any distro yet.  This driver obtains error info
from firmware interfaces, which are not properly implemented on
many platforms, as the driver always emits the messages below:

 This EDAC driver relies on BIOS to enumerate memory and get error reports.
 Unfortunately, not all BIOSes reflect the memory layout correctly
 So, the end result of using this driver varies from vendor to vendor
 If you find incorrect reports, please contact your hardware vendor
 to correct its BIOS.

To get out from this situation, add a platform check to selectively
enable the driver on the platforms that are known to have proper
firmware implementation.  Platform vendors can add their platforms
to the list when they support ghes_edac.

"ghes_edac.any_oem=1" skips this platform check.

[PATCH v2 6/7] EDAC: add edac_check_mc_owner() to check MC owner

[Toshi Kani]

Only a single edac driver can be enabled for EDAC MC.  When ghes_edac
is enabled, a regular edac driver for the CPU type / platform still
attempts to register itself and fails in edac_mc_add_mc().

Add edac_check_mc_owner() so that regular edac drivers can check
the owner of EDAC MC at the beginning of initialization.

Also change the owner check to string comparison from address check.

[v2,6/7] EDAC: add edac_check_mc_owner() to check MC owner

[Toshi Kani]

Only a single edac driver can be enabled for EDAC MC.  When ghes_edac
is enabled, a regular edac driver for the CPU type / platform still
attempts to register itself and fails in edac_mc_add_mc().

Add edac_check_mc_owner() so that regular edac drivers can check
the owner of EDAC MC at the beginning of initialization.

Also change the owner check to string comparison from address check.

[PATCH v2 7/7] edac drivers: add MC owner check in init

[Toshi Kani]

Change generic x86 edac drivers, which probe CPU type with
x86_match_cpu(), to call edac_check_mc_owner() in their
module init functions.  This allows them to fail their init
at the beginning when ghes_edac is enabled.  Similar change
can be made to other edac drivers as necessary.

This is an optimization and there is no functional change.

All that wasted energy to try to explain to you that "oemlist" is wrong

So the problem is that ghes_edac_register() gets called multiple times
depending on how many GHES platform devices are on the system. But yet
they all scan *all* DIMMs. So instead you should return if the DIMMs
have been counted already and not register a second time.

Which makes that whole mc counting kinda useless. So you could rip that
out too.

Unless I'm missing something...

Well, we did talk a lot about your suggested name, "acpi_blacklist",
and I explained that it did not work since it'd be used for both black
and white-list.  We've agreed on that.

You then suggested it's "platform", not "OEM".  Since this is an ACPI
structure defined in "acpi.h", its terminology generally follows ACPI
spec, which I did.

I understand that you feel strongly against "OEM" (sorry about that). 
How about "acpi_platform_list"?  Does it work for you?

Some firmware features can be enabled / disabled in BIOS.  While HPE
firmware does not allow to disable FF, it's possible that other vendors
might allow such and still have the same OEM ID info.  So, this check
makes sure that FF is in fact enabled in firmware.

GHES platform devices correspond to GHES entries, which define firmware
interfaces to report generic memory errors to the OS, such as NMI and
SCI.  These devices are associated with all DIMMs, not a particular
DIMM.

1 means the caller's init function can continue its initialization --
such conditions are free or owned by itself.

strcmp() breaks when either edac_mc_owner or mod_name string ends. 
strncmp() assumes mod_name string is valid for a given length.  Hence,
the caller needs to supply the length to this function by adding a new
arg 'length', which does not make it any safer.  I think using
strncmp() would require all edac drivers to declare a pre-defined
length of module name...

I personally prefer to document in .c, but since other funcs documented
in dac_mc.h, I will keep the same style.  Will remove the document in
edac_mc.c.

OK, I will change to use EDAC_MOD_STR and remove ".c".

I simply kept what it has today.  Will remove ".c".

Yeah, we don't protect ourselves against "might allow". Either you have
an *actual* example for such platform or you don't and then you don't
need this check.

Make that:

	edac_get_owner(void)

to return the owner string or NULL if there's no owner.

The caller can then do the string checking and do strncmp() to limit the
string length being checked.

You can still return -EBUSY. Just do the owner check first because if
we're going to return due to ghes_edac being loaded already, we might
just as well skip the other checks as they're a pointless waste of

Right, and this patch changes ghes_edac_register() to scan all DIMMs at
the first time and do not scan them next times.

Oh, I see.  So, ghes_edac_register() should return no-op a second time,
and does not call edac_mc_add_mc() to register with a separate mci.

I think we should keep the current scheme, which registers an mci for
each GHES entry.  ghes_edac_report_mem_error() expects that error-
reporting is serialized per a GHES entry.  Sharing a single mci among
all GHES entries / error interfaces might lead to a race condition.

Right, but the issue is how [ghes_edac_]report_mem_error() protects
from possible concurrent calls from multiple GHES sources when there is
only a single mci.

Do you know of an actual firmware reporting multiple errors concurrently?

GHES v2 even needs to ACK the current error first before it can read the

I do not know.  We have multiple GHES entries, but they all use SCI. 
Since ACPICA uses a single threaded workqueue for notify handlers, they
are serialized among SCIs.

ACPI 6.2 defines multiple notification types in Table 18-383, and
ghes_proc() can be called from ghes_poll_func(), ghes_irq_func(), and
ghes_notify_sci().  So, I think it is safe to operate per an entry
basis.

Yes, but this ACK is done per a GHES entry as well.

Right, ghes_edac_report_mem_error() gets serialized per a GHES entry,

GHES v2's ACK is not a global lock.  So, it does not guarantee that
ghes_edac_report_mem_error() never gets called concurrently.

> What is the actual potential scenario for concurrency issues you see?
> Example pls.

ghes_probe() supports multiple sources defined in
acpi_hest_notify_types.  Say, there are two entries for memory errors,
one with ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_EXTERNAL and the other with
ACPI_HEST_NOTIFY_SCI.  They may report errors independently.  While
ghes_edac_report_mem_error() is being called from the SCI, it can be
called from the ext interrupt at a same time.

I do not know how likely we see such case, but the code should be
written according to the spec.

Well, then you'll have to make ghes_edac_report_mem_error() reentrant.
Which doesn't look that hard as the only thing it really needs from
struct ghes_edac_pvt are those string buffers. I guess you can try to do
the simplest thing first and allocate them on the stack.

ghes_edac_report_mem_error() is reentrant as it is now.  I think the
current code design of allocating mci & ghes_edac_pvt for each GHES
source entry makes sense.  edac_raw_mc_handle_error() also has the same
  expectation that the call is serialized per mci.

There's no such thing as "per mci" if the driver scans *all DIMMs* per
register call. If it does it this way, then it is only one mci.

It is actually wrong right now because if you register more than one
mci and you do edac_inc_ce_error()/edac_inc_ue_error(), potentially
different counters get incremented for the same errors. Exactly because
each instance registered is *wrongly* responsible for all DIMMs on the
system.

So you either need to partition the DIMMs per mci (which I can't imagine
how it would work) or introduce locking when incrementing the mci->
counters.

ghes_edac instantiates an mci as a pseudo device representing a GHES
error source.  Each error source associates with all DIMMs, and may
report errors independently.  As ghes_edac is an GHES error-reporting
wrapper to edac, this abstraction makes sense.

I do not see a problem in having counters for each GHES error source. 
This is just statistics info, and ghes_edac does not expect any OS
action from the counters.

I do not think changing the calling convention to edac library
interfaces is a good idea for a special case like ghes_edac.  Such
changes can be a burden for us going forward.  I think ghes_edac just
needs to work with the current prerequisite.

User apps like ras-mc-ctl works as expected for a given (not-so-great)
DIMM info from SMBIOS as well.  I do not see a probelm from user
perspective, either.

Won't the user see all their DIMMs reported for each memory controller

Bullshit.

An MCI is a memory controller descriptor. That doesn't fit the GHES
platform devices that get probed. GHES platform device != MCI. How many
times do I need to say this for it to get through to you?

> I do not see a problem in having counters for each GHES error source.

And the error counters of that "simulated" mci get incremented depending
on which pointer gets passed in from GHES? More bullshit.

ghes_edac only fills dimm_info to the first mci.  So, users do not see
duplicated info.

Right, but it has to be a "pseudo" device for ghes_edac.  There is no
memory controller info available.  A single mci does not make it a real
memory controller, either.

Yes, ghes_edac refactoring like this should be considered a separate
item.  My patchset is aimed to introduce a platform-check to attach
ghes_edac on supported platforms.

Right, and adding the locking was really easy. If only people would
debate less and actually try to do what they're being advised to.
But not really: if you wanna have something done, you have to do it
yourself.

Anyway, I think I have a box to run it to, lemme go find it.

Steve, pls check my locking. It looks straightforward to me but I might
be missing some corner case.

Thx.

Seems to boot.

It's a whole another story whether it actually works. :-)

Need some EINJ capabilities urgently but finding a box where it works
reliably is like finding gold.

Should the above be:

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()))
		return;

To prevent a deadlock? Or do we not care?

The above looks fine, as long as there's nothing before it that needs
synchronization.

What's the likelihood of two calls to ghes_edac_register being done
simultaneously?  Because two calls at the same time will get past this.

Should the above be:

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()))
		return;

To prevent a deadlock? Or do we not care?

The above looks fine, as long as there's nothing before it that needs
synchronization.

What's the likelihood of two calls to ghes_edac_register being done
simultaneously?  Because two calls at the same time will get past this.

Yeah, better this way.

Well, that thing gets called per GHES platform device and last time I
checked they do get probed back-to-back but I'll check that again.

Thanks.

Maybe keep that original mutex just in case.

Sorry, but I did not agree on allowing concurrent accesses to mci...

I believe you now need to protect from a race condition that a single
mci and pvt can be initialized / consumed from multiple threads.  This
protection is missing in your patch.

Assuming this big spinlock works, yes, this addresses my concern that
it does not allow concurrent accesses to mci. :-)

I will test the patch with an SCI when I got a chance.  I won't be able
to test other notification types or race conditions, though.

Yes, I meant the lengthy locked section.  I still think that multiple
mcis is a better approach for concurrency as it naturally addresses it.
But as long as edac func and error handlers are tolerant with this
spinlock and serialization, I am OK with that.

I briefly tested the patch with an SCI. The error reporting part seems
to work fine.

There are two issues I noticed:

1. It creates mc0 and mc1.  
I think this is because you called edac_mc_alloc() with mc_num 1.

2. 'ras-mc-ctl --layout' does not show all DIMMs.

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC, ghes: Model a single, logical memory controller

We're enumerating the DIMMs through a DMI walk and since we can't get
any more detailed topological information about which DIMMs belong to
which memory controller, convert it to a single, logical controller
which contains all the DIMMs.

The error reporting path from GHES ghes_edac_report_mem_error() doesn't
get called in NMI context but add a warning about it to catch any
changes in the future as if so, our locking scheme will be insufficient
then.

Fixed, see below.

Yap, that's strange.

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC, ghes: Model a single, logical memory controller

We're enumerating the DIMMs through a DMI walk and since we can't get
any more detailed topological information about which DIMMs belong to
which memory controller, convert it to a single, logical controller
which contains all the DIMMs.

The error reporting path from GHES ghes_edac_report_mem_error() doesn't
get called in NMI context but add a warning about it to catch any
changes in the future as if so, our locking scheme will be insufficient
then.
