Although ghes_proc() tests for errors while reading the error status,
it always return success (0). Fix this by propagating the return
value.

Currently the AER severity is calculated by calling cper_severity_to_aer(),
but the parameter sent is actually the GHES severity.  This causes the AER
severity to be incorrect.

Fix the parameter to be the CPER severity instead of the GHES severity.

This patch adds new PSTORE_FLAGS for each pstore type so that they can
be enabled separately.  This is a preparation for ongoing virtio-pstore
work to support those types flexibly.

The PSTORE_FLAGS_FRAGILE is changed to PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG to preserve the
original behavior.

<title>ACPI / APEI: Add Boot Error Record Table (BERT) support</title>

ACPI/APEI is designed to verifiy/report H/W errors, like Corrected
Error(CE) and Uncorrected Error(UC). It contains four tables: HEST,
ERST, EINJ and BERT. The first three tables have been merged for
a long time, but because of lacking BIOS support for BERT, the
support for BERT is pending until now. Recently on ARM 64 platform
it is has been supported. So here we come.

Under normal circumstances, when a hardware error occurs, kernel will
be notified via NMI, MCE or some other method, then kernel will
process the error condition, report it, and recover it if possible.
But sometime, the situation is so bad, so that firmware may choose to
reset directly without notifying Linux kernel.

Linux kernel can use the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) to get the
un-notified hardware errors that occurred in a previous boot. In this
patch, the error information is reported via printk.

For more information about BERT, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 6.0, section 18.3.1:
  http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf

The following log is a BERT record after system reboot because of hitting
a fatal memory error:
BERT: Error records from previous boot:
[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: recoverable
[Hardware Error]:   section_type: memory error
[Hardware Error]:   error_status: 0x0000000000000400

[Hardware Error]:   card: 1 module: 2 bank: 3 row: 1 column: 2 bit_position: 5
[Hardware Error]:   error_type: 2, single-bit ECC

[Tomasz Nowicki: Clear error status at the end of error handling]
[Tony: Applied some cleanups suggested by Fu Wei]
[Fu Wei: delete EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bert_disable), improve the code]

Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.

The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
  significant.

  First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
  now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
  each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
  periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
  scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
  "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
  work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
  now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
  scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.

  Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
  all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
  simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
  structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
  cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
  quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
  governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
  more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
  (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).

  In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
  allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
  cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
  works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
  scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
  cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.

  In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
  updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
  cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
  Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
  other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.

  Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
  including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
  and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
  optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
  ACPI tables from initrd.

  Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
  power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
  traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
     them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
     frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
     that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
     straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
     Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
     Kumar, Eric Biggers).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
     modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
     selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
     Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
     Franciosi).

   - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
     handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
     cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).

   - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
     cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
     respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
     Bhat).

   - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).

   - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
     previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
     Colin Ian King).

   - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).

   - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
     Chaugule).

   - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
     ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).

   - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
     Aleksey Makarov).

   - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
     255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
     per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
     valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).

   - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).

   - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
     intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
     Gortmaker).

   - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
     as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).

   - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for
     AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu).

   - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin).

   - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root
     computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes).

   - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties
     framework (Heikki Krogerus).

   - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
     support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
     output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
     Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
     it (Jacob Pan).

   - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
     Sengar).

   - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).

   - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
     registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
     and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
     detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls
     made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning
     fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)"

   - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
     support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
     output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
     Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
     it (Jacob Pan).

   - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
     Sengar).

   - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).

   - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
     registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
     and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
     detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls
     made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning
     fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)"
