[PATCH 00/21] EDAC, mc, ghes: Fixes and updates to improve memory error reporting

From: Robert Richter
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 04:48:09 EST


Current arm64 systems that use the ghes driver lack kernel support for
a proper memory error reporting. Following issues are seen:

* Error record shows insufficient data, such as "EDAC MC0: 1 CE
unknown error on unknown label",

* DMI DIMM labels are not decoded for error reporting,

* No memory hierarchy known (NUMA topology),

* No per layer reporting,

* Significant differences to x86 error reports.

This patch set addresses all the above involving a rework of the
ghes_edac and edac_mc driver.

Patch #1: Repost of an already accepted patch sent to the ml. Adding
it here for completeness as I did not find it in a repository yet. The
fix is also required for this series. Note there is a modification
compared to the previous version that further reduces complexity
(early break of the loop removed).

Patches #2-#11: General fixes and improvements of the ghes and mc
drivers. Most of it is a rework of existing code without functional
changes to improve, ease, cleanup and join common code. The changes
are in preparation of and a requirment for the following patches that
improve ghes error reports.

Patches #12-#20: Improve error memory reporting of the ghes driver
including:

* support for legacy API (patch #12),

* NUMA detection, one mc device per node (patches #13-#16),

* support for DMI DIMM label information (patch #17),

* per-layer reporting (patches #18-#20).

Patches #21: Documentation updates.

All changes should keep existing systems working as before. All
systems that are using ghes will also benefit from the update. There
is a fallback in the ghes driver that disables NUMA or enters a fake
mode if some of the NUMA or DIMM information is inconsistent. So it
should not break existing systems that provide broken firmware tables.

The series has been tested on a Marvell/Cavium ThunderX2 system. Here
some example logs and sysfs entries:
