ACPI, APEI, APEI supporting infrastructure APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error serialization and error injection. For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification version 4.0, chapter 17. This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST. A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a common framework is defined for them.

ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source memory error support Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the threshold. On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified GHES is implemented firstly.

config ACPI_APEI_GHES
ACPI, APEI, GHES, Prevent GHES to be built as module GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) is used to process hardware error notification in firmware first mode. But because firmware first mode can be turned on but can not be turned off, it is unreasonable to unload the GHES module with firmware first mode turned on. To avoid confusion, this patch makes GHES can be enabled/disabled in configuration time, but not built as module and unloaded at run time.

ACPI, APEI, GHES, printk support for recoverable error via NMI Some APEI GHES recoverable errors are reported via NMI, but printk is not safe in NMI context. To solve the issue, a lock-less memory allocator is used to allocate memory in NMI handler, save the error record into the allocated memory, put the error record into a lock-less list. On the other hand, an irq_work is used to delay the operation from NMI context to IRQ context. The irq_work IRQ handler will remove nodes from lock-less list, printk the error record and do some further processing include recovery operation, then free the memory.

ACPI, APEI, Add PCIe AER error information printing support The AER error information printing support is implemented in drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c. So some string constants, functions and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported. The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not re-used directly because the overall format is quite different. And changing the original printing format may make some original users' scripts broken.
