x86/mce: Drop bogus comment about mce.kflags

The bit definitions for kflags are for internal use only. A
late edit moved them from uapi/asm/mce.h to the internal
x86 <asm/mce.h>, but the comment saying "See below" was
accidentally left here.

Delete "See below". Just labelling this field as internal
kernel use is sufficient.

x86/mce: Add a struct mce.kflags field

There can be many different subsystems register on the mce handler
chain. Add a new bitmask field and define values so that handlers can
indicate whether they took any action to log or otherwise handle an
error.

The default handler at the end of the chain can use this information to
decide whether to print to the console log.

Boris suggested a generic name and leaving plenty of spare bits for
possible future use.

x86/MCE: Save microcode revision in machine check records

Updating microcode used to be relatively rare. Now that it has become
more common we should save the microcode version in a machine check
record to make sure that those people looking at the error have this
important information bundled with the rest of the logged information.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

x86/mce: Include the PPIN in MCE records when available

Intel Xeons from Ivy Bridge onwards support a processor identification
number set in the factory. To the user this is a handy unique number to
identify a particular CPU. Intel can decode this to the fab/production
run to track errors. On systems that have it, include it in the machine
check record. I'm told that this would be helpful for users that run
large data centers with multi-socket servers to keep track of which CPUs
are seeing errors.

Boris:
* Add some clarifying comments and spacing.
* Mask out [63:2] in the disabled-but-not-locked case
* Call the MSR variable "val" for more readability.

x86/mce/AMD: Save MCA_IPID in MCE struct on SMCA systems

The MCA_IPID register uniquely identifies a bank's type and instance
on Scalable MCA systems. We should save the value of this register
in struct mce along with the other relevant error information. This
ensures that we can decode errors without relying on system software to
correlate the bank to the type.

Syndrome information is no longer contained in MCA_STATUS for SMCA
systems but in a new register - MCA_SYND.

Add a synd field to struct mce to hold MCA_SYND register value. Add it
to the end of struct mce to maintain compatibility with old versions of
mcelog. Also, add it to the respective tracepoint.

x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exports

Retract back most macro definitions which went into the
user-visible mce.h header. Even though those bits are mostly
hardware-defined/-architectural, their naming is not. If we export them
to userspace, any kernel unification/renaming/cleanup cannot be done
anymore since those are effectively cast in stone. Besides, if userspace
wants those definitions, they can write their own defines and go crazy.
