Hello,
I'm putting together my previous set of patches for MCE.

The first two patches are cleanups, as per previous discussions. The first
patch makes mce sysfs tunables available under global machinecheck sysfs
directory. We no longer remove the existing entries in the per-cpu location.
The second patch consolidates some of the mce boot options into a single
bitfield. The structure name has been changed and is now in mce-internal.h

The third patch adds a new boot option to honour bios-set CMCI thresholds.
This has been rebased on the above patches.

This patch series applies on top of -tip.


Thanks,
Naveen

All the MCE attributes currently exported via sysfs appear under
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck<n>/. Pretty much all of
these are global in nature and not specific to a processor. So, make these
available under /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/ where they rightly belong.
Update documentation to also point to the new location so that user-space
tools can pick up on the new location. We would eventually want to remove
these from the per-cpu location.

Many MCE flags are boolean in nature, but are declared as integers
currently. We can pack these into a bitfield to save some space.

The ACPI spec doesn't provide for a way for the bios to pass down
recommended thresholds to the OS on a _per-bank_ basis. This patch adds
a new boot option, which if passed, allows bios to initialize the CMCI
threshold. In such a case, we simply skip programming any threshold
value.

As fail-safe, we initialize threshold to 1 if some banks have not been
initialized by the bios and warn the user.

All the current mce tunables are now available under
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck. Start using this new location, but fall back
to the older per-cpu location so that we continue working with older kernels.

You don't need to declare __pad

Who did that change in the kernel?

That breaks Linus rule that the kernel should not break userland.
Kernel needs to fix that.

Before this patch:
size arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  18946	   4930	    776	  24652	   604c	arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o

After:
size arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  19335	   4890	    776	  25001	   61a9	arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o

So we do indeed see "data" reduced by 40 bytes. But
"text" is up by 389.  This seems to be because you have
another change, not described in the commit log, buried
in part 2 to add get_dont_log_ce(), set_dont_log_ce() etc.

Compiler version: gcc version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4) (GCC)

I know I'm contradicting the feedback you got from Borislav here, but
is this code churn really worth it to save 40 bytes? I don't think so.

The change is still under discussion. Stage one is to add the new global
pathnames in addition to keeping the old per-cpu ones. Also fix all utilities
(just mcelog(8) as far as we know) to prefer the new paths.

After some time[1] ... delete the old paths. This is allowable under Linus'
modified edict that you can change ABI "if nobody complains". If we wait
long enough that the new mcelog is widely deployed, then nobody should
complain.

Tony,
Thanks for clarifying. I should have mentioned in the patch description 
that this is indeed subject to the original patch making it into the kernel.

On a related topic. I recently noticed that we don't have an entry for 
machinecheck in Documentation/ABI/. Should we add an entry in there? We 
could perhaps add the existing entries under obsolete/ and the new 
location under testing/?

Hmm.. I think I agree. I don't see a good way to get rid of the 
individual getters and setters without adding some more code churn. I 
guess using boolean would be better. Boris?

Well, to answer Tony's question, I wanted to have all those config
booleans at the beginning of mce.c packed tightly together as a
single-bit bool values in a config-like struct so that they don't
scatter all over the place and grow out of proportion with more features
being added. So actually I'm willing to swallow the slight increase in
code size for better/more clear code.

> I guess using boolean would be better. Boris?

Yes, it would be worth to try to add a DEVICE_BOOL_ATTR which introduce
a setter/getter flavour for bools and then use that for all.

Thanks.

But why do you even want to change it?  Does it fix anything?
AFAIK the old setup -- while not being pretty -- works just fine.

The reason for this was explained in this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg298302.html

Even if we decide not to remove these tunables from under their current 
per-cpu location, I still think it is much cleaner to have them 
available under /sys/devices/system/machinecheck.

That to me seems a ridiculous proposal. What are you going to do if in
future they ceased to be system wide ? Move them back ?

The threshold for playing musical chairs with sysfs nodes is a lot higher
than "I think it's much cleaner"

The current approach is a lot more futureproof even if a spot more ugly.
