ACPI: APEI: Fix AER info corruption when error status data has multiple sections

ghes_handle_aer() passes AER data to the PCI core for logging and
recovery by calling aer_recover_queue() with a pointer to struct
aer_capability_regs.

The problem was that aer_recover_queue() queues the pointer directly
without copying the aer_capability_regs data. The pointer was to
the ghes->estatus buffer, which could be reused before
aer_recover_work_func() reads the data.

To avoid this problem, allocate a new aer_capability_regs structure
from the ghes_estatus_pool, copy the AER data from the ghes->estatus
buffer into it, pass a pointer to the new struct to
aer_recover_queue(), and free it after aer_recover_work_func() has
processed it.

EDAC/ghes: Make ghes_edac a proper module

Commit

dc4e8c07e9e2 ("ACPI: APEI: explicit init of HEST and GHES in apci_init()")

introduced a bug leading to ghes_edac_register() to be invoked before
edac_init(). Because at that time the bus "edac" hadn't been even
registered, this created sysfs nodes as /devices/mc0 instead of
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0 on an Ampere eMag server.

Fix this by turning ghes_edac into a proper module.

The list of GHES devices returned is not protected from being modified
concurrently but it is pretty static as it gets created only during GHES
init and latter is not a module so...

EDAC/ghes: Prepare to make ghes_edac a proper module

To make ghes_edac a proper module, prepare to decouple its dependencies
from GHES.

Move the ghes_edac.force_load parameter to ghes.c in order to
properly control whether ghes_edac should be force-loaded: In
ghes_edac_register() it is too late to set the module flag.

Introduce a helper ghes_get_devices(), which returns the list of GHES
devices which got probed when the platform-check passes on the system.

The previous force_load check is not needed in ghes_edac_unregister()
since it will be checked in the module's init function of ghes_edac
later.

ACPI / APEI: Add a notifier chain for unknown (vendor) CPER records

CPER records describing a firmware-first error are identified by GUID.
The ghes driver currently logs, but ignores any unknown CPER records.
This prevents describing errors that can't be represented by a standard
entry, that would otherwise allow a driver to recover from an error.
The UEFI spec calls these 'Non-standard Section Body' (N.2.3 of
version 2.8).

Add a notifier chain for these non-standard/vendor-records. Callers
must identify their type of records by GUID.

Record data is copied to memory from the ghes_estatus_pool to allow
us to keep it until after the notifier has run.

ACPI: APEI: Kick the memory_failure() queue for synchronous errors

memory_failure() offlines or repairs pages of memory that have been
discovered to be corrupt. These may be detected by an external
component, (e.g. the memory controller), and notified via an IRQ.
In this case the work is queued as not all of memory_failure()s work
can happen in IRQ context.

If the error was detected as a result of user-space accessing a
corrupt memory location the CPU may take an abort instead. On arm64
this is a 'synchronous external abort', and on a firmware first
system it is replayed using NOTIFY_SEA.

This notification has NMI like properties, (it can interrupt
IRQ-masked code), so the memory_failure() work is queued. If we
return to user-space before the queued memory_failure() work is
processed, we will take the fault again. This loop may cause platform
firmware to exceed some threshold and reboot when Linux could have
recovered from this error.

For NMIlike notifications keep track of whether memory_failure() work
was queued, and make task_work pending to flush out the queue.
To save memory allocations, the task_work is allocated as part of
the ghes_estatus_node, and free()ing it back to the pool is deferred.

ACPI / APEI: Don't update struct ghes' flags in read/clear estatus

ghes_read_estatus() sets a flag in struct ghes if the buffer of
CPER records needs to be cleared once the records have been
processed. This flag value is a problem if a struct ghes can be
processed concurrently, as happens at probe time if an NMI arrives
for the same error source. The NMI clears the flag, meaning the
interrupted handler may never do the ghes_estatus_clear() work.

The GHES_TO_CLEAR flags is only set at the same time as
buffer_paddr, which is now owned by the caller and passed to
ghes_clear_estatus(). Use this value as the flag.

A non-zero buf_paddr returned by ghes_read_estatus() means
ghes_clear_estatus() should clear this address. ghes_read_estatus()
already checks for a read of error_status_address being zero,
so CPER records cannot be written here.

ACPI / APEI: Don't store CPER records physical address in struct ghes

When CPER records are found the address of the records is stashed
in the struct ghes. Once the records have been processed, this
address is overwritten with zero so that it won't be processed
again without being re-populated by firmware.

This goes wrong if a struct ghes can be processed concurrently,
as can happen at probe time when an NMI occurs. If the NMI arrives
on another CPU, the probing CPU may call ghes_clear_estatus() on the
records before the handler had finished with them.
Even on the same CPU, once the interrupted handler is resumed, it
will call ghes_clear_estatus() on the NMIs records, this memory may
have already been re-used by firmware.

Avoid this stashing by letting the caller hold the address. A
later patch will do away with the use of ghes->flags in the
read/clear code too.

ACPI / APEI: Make hest.c manage the estatus memory pool

ghes.c has a memory pool it uses for the estatus cache and the estatus
queue. The cache is initialised when registering the platform driver.
For the queue, an NMI-like notification has to grow/shrink the pool
as it is registered and unregistered.

This is all pretty noisy when adding new NMI-like notifications, it
would be better to replace this with a static pool size based on the
number of users.

As a precursor, move the call that creates the pool from ghes_init(),
into hest.c. Later this will take the number of ghes entries and
consolidate the queue allocations.
Remove ghes_estatus_pool_exit() as hest.c doesn't have anywhere to put
this.

The pool is now initialised as part of ACPI's subsys_initcall():
(acpi_init(), acpi_scan_init(), acpi_pci_root_init(), acpi_hest_init())
Before this patch it happened later as a GHES specific device_initcall().

ghes, EDAC: Fix ghes_edac registration

Tony reported seeing

"Internal error: Can't find EDAC structure"

when injecting correctable errors due to the fact that ghes_edac would
still load even if the whitelist won't hit. Drop the pr_err() in
ghes_edac_report_mem_error() for now due to the hacky way how ghes_edac
depends on ghes.c.

While at it, make ghes_edac_register() return an error if it doesn't hit
in the whitelist as it is the only sensible thing to do in that
situation.

Furthermore, move the call to it to happen last in ghes_probe() so that
GHES initializing properly does not depend on ghes_edac init at all
as latter is only reporting errors and not required for GHES's proper

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is 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.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

ACPI: APEI: fix the wrong iteration of generic error status block

SEA exceptions when they occur.
An SEA can interrupt code that had interrupts masked and is treated as
an NMI. To aid this the page of address space for mapping APEI buffers

ACPICA: Restore error table definitions to reduce code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream.

The following commit has changed ACPICA table header definitions:

Commit: 88f074f4871a8c212b212b725e4dcdcdb09613c1
Subject: ACPI, CPER: Update cper info

While such definitions are currently maintained in ACPICA. As the
modifications applying to the table definitions affect other OSPMs'
drivers, it is very difficult for ACPICA to initiate a process to
complete the merge. Thus this commit finally only leaves us divergences.

Revert such naming modifications to reduce the source code differecnes
between Linux and ACPICA upstream. No functional changes.

ACPI, CPER: Update cper info

We have a lot of confusing names of functions and data structures in
amongs the the error reporting code. In particular the "apei" prefix
has been applied to many objects that are not part of APEI. Since we
will be using these routines for extended error log reporting it will
be clearer if we fix up the names first.

ghes: add the needed hooks for EDAC error report

In order to allow reporting errors via EDAC, add hooks for:

1) register an EDAC driver;
2) unregister an EDAC driver;
3) report errors via EDAC.

As the EDAC driver will need to access the ghes structure, adds it
as one of the parameters for ghes_do_proc.

ghes: move structures/enum to a header file

As a ghes_edac driver will need to access ghes structures, in order
to properly handle the errors, move those structures to a separate
header file. No functional changes.
