[PATCH v3 0/4] x86/mce, EDAC/mce_amd: Support extended MCA_ADDR address on SMCA systems

[Smita Koralahalli]

This series of patches adds support for extended physical address on newer
AMD processors such as AMD 'Milan'. It also, suggests to cache
MCA_CONFIG[McaX] similar to MCA_CONFIG[McaLsbInStatusSupported] to avoid
reading MCA_CONFIG register each time.

The first patch defines a separate helper function to extract
MCA_ADDR[ErrorAddr].

The second patch adds support for extended ErrorAddr bits in MCA_ADDR.

Third patch, caches MCA_CONFIG[McaX] similar to
MCA_CONFIG[McaLsbInStatusSupported] in the existing mce_bank struct.

Last patch, fixes unnecessary padding in mce_bank struct.

[PATCH v3 1/4] x86/mce: Define function to extract ErrorAddr from MCA_ADDR

[Smita Koralahalli]

Move MCA_ADDR[ErrorAddr] extraction into a separate helper function. This
will be further refactored in the next patch.

[PATCH v3 2/4] x86/mce: Add support for Extended Physical Address MCA changes

[Smita Koralahalli]

Newer AMD processors such as AMD 'Milan' support more physical address
bits.

That is the MCA_ADDR registers on Scalable MCA systems contain the
ErrorAddr in bits [56:0] instead of [55:0]. Hence the existing LSB field
from bits [61:56] in MCA_ADDR must be moved around to accommodate the
larger ErrorAddr size.

MCA_CONFIG[McaLsbInStatusSupported] indicates this change. If set, the
LSB field will be found in MCA_STATUS rather than MCA_ADDR.

Each logical CPU has unique MCA bank in hardware and is not shared with
other logical CPUs. Additionally on SMCA systems, each feature bit may be
different for each bank within same logical CPU.

Check for MCA_CONFIG[McaLsbInStatusSupported] for each MCA bank and for
each CPU.

[PATCH v3 3/4] x86/mce, EDAC/mce_amd: Cache MCA_CONFIG[McaX] in struct mce_bank

[Smita Koralahalli]

Cache the value of MCA_CONFIG[McaX] in the existing mce_bank struct
similar to MCA_CONFIG[McaLsbInStatusSupported].

This simplifies and eliminates the need to read MCA_CONFIG register each
time to check McaX.

[Smita Koralahalli]

Include struct mce_bank member "init" in the bitfield by changing its type
from bool to get rid of unnecessary padding and to reduce the overall
struct size.

Outputs collected before and after the change.

$ pahole -C mce_bank arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.o

before:

	/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 62 bits */
	/* bit_padding: 2 bits */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */

after:

	/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */

No functional changes.

The concept of "next patch" can mean different commits in git so pls
reword your commit message to be void of the patch linearity concept.

I don't see the point for this change, frankly.

I doubt it is speed because those are not really hot paths.

Code savings ain't either: 5 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)

Having yet another exported function to modules if not really necessary
doesn't make it prettier too.

So if there's no point for it, you can simply drop it.

Thx.

I don't mind cleanups like that but when you send them as part of a set
adding new functionality, the usual rule is to put bug fixes, cleanups,
improvements, etc to the existing code *first*, and then, ontop you add
your new code.

IOW, this patch should be first in your set.

Thx.

Hmm okay. The main thought to come up with this patch was of course speed.
The speed might not matter much when we are trying to configure registers
as in mce/amd.c.

But what do you think of severity? Will this make an impact when handling
panic severity levels? .. mce_severity_amd_smca().

I can drop this patch if it doesn't impact much.

Thanks,
Smita

Will correct and move it to first in the next series.

Well, look at the code: severity grading gets called when either polling
or #MC handler gets to log an MCE. Reading an MSR costs a couple of
hundred cycles. The whole MCE logging path costs maybe a couple of
*orders* of magnitude more so that MSR read is in the noise when you
have a 4GHz CPU executing 4 billion cycles per second.

Now, that's for a single MCE.

If it were more, say 10s, 100s, 1000s MCEs, then the MSR read is the
least of your problems.

But this is me conjecturing - I'm always interested in a real proof
where it shows or it does not.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, yeah, sure, speed is mostly a good
argument. But you always need to consider at what cost you'd get that
speed. And if at all. There are other important things like keeping the
code base maintainable, readable and able to accept modifications for
new features.

So there's always this question of balance that needs to be asked...

Okay, this makes sense to me now. Thanks for the explanation. I will
drop this patch in the next series.
