[PATCH v2 2/5] x86/mce: Add per-bank CMCI storm mitigation
From: Tony Luck
Date: Mon Jun 27 2022 - 13:36:32 EST
Add a hook into machine_check_poll() to keep track of per-CPU, per-bank
corrected error logs.
Maintain a bitmap history for each bank showing whether the bank
logged an corrected error or not each time it is polled.
In normal operation the interval between polls of this banks
determines how far to shift the history. The 64 bit width corresponds
to about one second.
When a storm is observed the Rate of interrupts is reduced by setting
a large threshold value for this bank in IA32_MCi_CTL2. This bank is
added to the bitmap of banks for this CPU to poll. The polling rate
is increased to once per second.
During a storm each bit in the history indicates the status of the
bank each time it is polled. Thus the history covers just over a minute.
Declare a storm for that bank if the number of corrected interrupts
seen in that history is above some threshold (5 in this RFC code for
ease of testing, likely move to 15 for compatibility with previous
storm detection).
A storm on a bank ends if enough consecutive polls of the bank show
no corrected errors (currently 30, may also change). That resets the
threshold in IA32_MCi_CTL2 back to 1, removes the bank from the bitmap
for polling, and changes the polling rate back to the default.
If a CPU with banks in storm mode is taken offline, the new CPU
that inherits ownership of those banks takes over management of
storm(s) in the inherited bank(s).
