Subject: [PATCH v3 00/12] APEI in_nmi() rework and arm64 SDEI wire-up
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 16:34:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180427153510.5799-1-james.morse@arm.com> (raw)
The aim of this series is to wire arm64's SDEI into APEI.
Nothing much has changed since v2, patch 3 is new and the KVM IS_ENABLED()
stuff has been cleaned up. Otherwise things are noted in each patch.
This touches a few trees, so I'm not sure how best it should be merged.
Patches 11 and 12 are reducing a race that is made worse by patch 4, I'd
like them to arrive together, even though patch 11 doesn't depend on anything
else in the series. (patches 11&12 could be moved to after 8 if that makes
things easier)
The earlier boiler-plate:
What's SDEI? Its ARM's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" [0]. It's
used by firmware to tell the OS about firmware-first RAS events.
These Software exceptions can interrupt anything, so I describe them as
NMI-like. They aren't the only NMI-like way to notify the OS about
firmware-first RAS events, the ACPI spec also defines 'NOTFIY_SEA' and
'NOTIFY_SEI'.
(Acronyms: SEA, Synchronous External Abort. The CPU requested some memory,
but the owner of that memory said no. These are always synchronous with the
instruction that caused them. SEI, System-Error Interrupt, commonly called
SError. This is an asynchronous external abort, the memory-owner didn't say no
at the right point. Collectively these things are called external-aborts
How is firmware involved? It traps these and re-injects them into the kernel
once its written the CPER records).
APEI's GHES code only expects one source of NMI. If a platform implements
more than one of these mechanisms, APEI needs to handle the interaction.
'SEA' and 'SEI' can interact as 'SEI' is asynchronous. SDEI can interact
with itself: its exceptions can be 'normal' or 'critical', and firmware
could use both types for RAS. (errors using normal, 'panic-now' using
critical).
What does this series do?
Patches 1-4 refactor APEIs 'estatus queue' so it can be used for all
NMI-like notifications. This defers the NMI work to irq_work, which will
happen when we next unmask interrupts.
Patches 5&6 move the arch and KVM code around so that NMI-like notifications
are always called in_nmi().
Patch 7 changes the 'irq or nmi?' path through ghes_copy_tofrom_phys()
to be per-ghes. When called in_nmi(), the struct ghes is expected to
provide a fixmap slot and lock that is safe to use. NMI-like notifications
that mask each other can share these resources. Those that interact should
have their own fixmap slot and lock.
Patch 8 renames NOTIFY_SEA's use of NOTIFY_NMI's infrastructure, as we're
about to have multiple NMI-like users that can't share resources.
Pathes 9&10 add the SDEI helper, and notify methods for APEI.
After this, adding further firmware-first pieces for arm64 is simple
(and safe), and all our NMI-like notifications behave the same as x86's
NOTIFY_NMI.
All of this makes the race between memory_failure_queue() and
ret_to_user worse, as there is now always irq_work involved.
Patch 11 makes the reschedule to memory_failure() run as soon as possible.
Patch 12 makes sure the arch code knows whether the irq_work has run by
the time do_sea() returns. We can skip the signalling step if it has as
APEI has done its work.
ghes.c became clearer to me when I worked out that it has three sets of
functions with 'estatus' in the name. One is a pool of memory that can be
allocated-from atomically. This is grown/shrunk when new NMI users are
allocated.
The second is the estatus-cache, which holds recent notifications so it
can suppress notifications we've already handled.
The last it the estatus-queue, which holds data from NMI-like notifications
(in pool memory) to be processed from irq_work.
Testing?
Tested with the SDEI FVP based software model and a mocked up NOTFIY_SEA using
KVM. I've added a case where 'corrected errors' are discovered at probe time
to exercise ghes_probe() during boot. I've only build tested this on x86.
Thanks,
James
