Discussion:
[PATCH V3 0/4] map GHES memory region with EFI memory map
(too old to reply)

On a platform with APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) enabled, firmware
updates a memory region with hardware error record using nocache
attribute. When OS reads the region, since it maps the region with
cacahed attribute even though EFI memory map defines this region as
uncached, OS gets stale data and errorneously reports there is no new
HW error.

When ghes driver maps the memory region, it uses the cache attribute
according to EFI memory map, if EFI memory map feature is enabled
at runtime.

Since both arch/x86 and arch/ia64 implemented architecture agnostic EFI
memory map attribue lookup function efi_memattributes(), the code is
moved from arch/x86 into EFI subsystem and is declared as __weak; archs
other than ia64 should not override the default implementation.

V3:
1. Rebased to v4.1-rc7.
2. Moved efi_mem_attributes() from arch/x86 to drivers/firmware/efi
and declared it as __weak.
3. Introduced ARCH_APEI_PAGE_KERNEL_UC to allow arch specific page
protection type for UC.
4. Removed efi_ioremap(). It can not be used for GHES memory region
mapping purpose since ioremap can not be used in atomic context.

V2:
1. Rebased to v4.1-rc5.
2. Split removal of efi_mem_attributes() and creation of efi_ioremap()
into two patches.

Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang (4):
x86: acpi: define uncached page flag
arm64: acpi: define uncached page flag
efi: x86: rearrange efi_mem_attributes()
acpi, apei: use EFI memmap to map GHES memory

With ACPI APEI firmware first handling, generic hardware error
record is updated by firmware in GHES memory region. When firmware
updated GHES memory region with uncached access attribute, Linux
reads stale data from cache.

GHES memory region should be mapped with cache attributes
according to EFI memory map when applicable. On such system, if
firmware updates RAM directly without going through cache,
EFI memory map has GHES memory region defined as uncached;
If firmware updates cache, EFI memory map has GHES memory region
defined as cached.

On EFI system, if GHES memory region has EFI_MEMORY_UC attribute
defined, map the page with arch defined UC page protection type.

This is still hacky. All of a sudden, ghes code gets to know about EFI
which looks like a mishmash to me.

Maybe it would be cleaner if you added an arch-specific

arch_get_mem_attribute(phys_addr);

which returns a pgprot_t thing which you can use directly above, like
so:

ioremap_page_range(vaddr,
vaddr + PAGE_SIZE,
pfn << PAGE_SHIFT,
arch_get_mem_attribute(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT));

Each arch can then return what it likes with arch_get_mem_attribute().

Thanks for the review, Borislav. I will do that. Since such function
is only needed for APEI functionality, at least as of today, I will
name it arch_apei_get_mem_attribute().
I will add implementations for arm64 and x86 since those are the only
archs having HAVE_ACPI_APEI defined in Kconfig. The upstream kernel
today does not have HAVE_ACPI_APEI defined for arm64, but it needs to
be and will be.

Why?

It can be extended to be used generically too, no? Come to think of it,
the different arches should already have a way to tell you with what mem
attributes a physical address is mapped, no?

IOW, such functionality should be already present, you'd only have to
find it and use it.

I did think about this, but I don't think we have a generic way to ask
the firmware for its memory map.

The problem on x86 of course is that we simply ignore what the firmware
tells us most of the time because everything gets funneled through the
e820 map and we eventually discard the EFI memmap.

Not the firmware but the OS. Like on x86, for example, we have MTRRs
and PAT and they cover the whole range. Basically what lookup_memtype()
does. We already have that info, why not query it instead of growing
more stuff ontop.

I mean, we do ioremap* which does reserve_memtype() and sticks the range
in the rbtree which we query after. Can't be better than that...

Hmmm.

Right, but see my previous comment about x86 discarding a bunch of
attributes for memory regions because the kernel "knows better".

And in most places, yes, the kernel really does know better. But this
APEI case is special because irrespective of what the kernel says we
want to be compatible with the firmware's memory map.

And we don't have an API for that.

Maybe what we want is a new PAGE_* protection that is compatible with
any firmware mappings? That'd be nice because we wouldn't have to
introduce a whole new API for this GHES case and ioremap_* could do
whatever it wanted under the hood.

Thougts?

From: "Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang" <***@codeaurora.org>

x86 and ia64 implement efi_mem_attributes() differently. This
function needs to be available for other arch (such as arm64)
as well, such as for the purpose of ACPI/APEI.

ia64 efi does not setup memmap variable and does not set
EFI_MEMMAP flag, so it needs to have its unique implementation
of efi_mem_attributes().

Move efi_mem_attributes() implementation from x86 to efi, and
declare it with __weak. It is recommended that other archs
should not override the default implementation.
