[PATCH v4] EDAC/ghes: Setup DIMM label from DMI and use it in error reports

From: Robert Richter
Date: Thu May 28 2020 - 06:14:18 EST


The ghes driver reports errors with 'unknown label' even if the actual
DIMM label is known, e.g.:

EDAC MC0: 1 CE Single-bit ECC on unknown label (node:0 card:0
module:0 rank:1 bank:0 col:13 bit_pos:16 DIMM location:N0 DIMM_A0
page:0x966a9b3 offset:0x0 grain:1 syndrome:0x0 - APEI location:
node:0 card:0 module:0 rank:1 bank:0 col:13 bit_pos:16 DIMM
location:N0 DIMM_A0 status(0x0000000000000400): Storage error in
DRAM memory)

Fix this by using struct dimm_info's label string in error reports:

EDAC MC0: 1 CE Single-bit ECC on N0 DIMM_A0 (node:0 card:0 module:0
rank:1 bank:515 col:14 bit_pos:16 DIMM location:N0 DIMM_A0
page:0x99223d8 offset:0x0 grain:1 syndrome:0x0 - APEI location:
node:0 card:0 module:0 rank:1 bank:515 col:14 bit_pos:16 DIMM
location:N0 DIMM_A0 status(0x0000000000000400): Storage error in
DRAM memory)

The labels are initialized by reading the bank and device strings from
DMI. Now, the label information can also read from sysfs. E.g. a
ThunderX2 system will show the following:

/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_A0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm1/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_B0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm2/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_C0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm3/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_D0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm4/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_E0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm5/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_F0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm6/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_G0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm7/dimm_label:N0 DIMM_H0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm8/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_I0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm9/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_J0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm10/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_K0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm11/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_L0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm12/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_M0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm13/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_N0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm14/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_O0
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm15/dimm_label:N1 DIMM_P0

Since dimm_labels can be rewritten, that label will be used in a later
error report:

# echo foobar >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/dimm0/dimm_label
# # some error injection here
# dmesg | grep foobar
[ 751.383533] EDAC MC0: 1 CE Single-bit ECC on foobar (node:0 card:0
module:0 rank:1 bank:259 col:3 bit_pos:16 DIMM location:N0 DIMM_A0
page:0x8c8dc74 offset:0x0 grain:1 syndrome:0x0 - APEI location:

memory)

v4:

* dimm->label: Only update dimm->label in if bank/device is found in
the SMBIOS table, this keeps current behavior for machines that do
not provide this information.

* e->location: Keep current behavior how e->location is written.

* e->label: Use dimm->label if a DIMM was found by its handle and
"unknown memory" otherwise. This aligns with the edac_mc
implementation.
