When a platform marks a memory range as "special purpose" it is not
onlined as System RAM by default. However, it is still suitable for
error injection. Add IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED to einj_error_inject() as
a permissible memory type in the sanity checking of the arguments to
_EINJ.

<title>ACPI: APEI: Better fix to avoid spamming the console with old error logs</title>

The fix in commit 3f8dec116210 ("ACPI/APEI: Limit printable size of BERT
table data") does not work as intended on systems where the BIOS has a
fixed size block of memory for the BERT table, relying on s/w to quit
when it finds a record with estatus-&gt;block_status == 0. On these systems
all errors are suppressed because the check:

	if (region_len &lt; ACPI_BERT_PRINT_MAX_LEN)

always fails.

New scheme skips individual CPER records that are too large, and also
limits the total number of records that will be printed to 5.

Some validation tests dynamically inject errors into memory used by
applications to check that the system can recover from a variety of
poison consumption sceenarios.

But sometimes the virtual address picked by these tests is mapped to
the zero page.

This causes additional unexpected machine checks as other processes that
map the zero page also consume the poison.

Disallow injection to the zero page.

Read a record is cleared by others, but the deleted record cache entry is
still created by erst_get_record_id_next. When next enumerate the records,
get the cached deleted record, then erst_read() return -ENOENT and try to
get next record, loop back to first ID will return 0 in function
__erst_record_id_cache_add_one and then set record_id as
APEI_ERST_INVALID_RECORD_ID, finished this time read operation.
It will result in read the records just in the cache hereafter.

This patch cleared the deleted record cache, fix the issue that
"./erst-inject -p" shows record counts not equal to "./erst-inject -n".

While the original code is valid, it is not the obvious choice for the
sizeof() call and in preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator
variable the sizeof should be changed to the size of the variable
being allocated.

Platforms with large BERT table data can trigger soft lockup errors
while attempting to print the entire BERT table data to the console at
boot:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#160 stuck for 23s! [swapper/0:1]

Observed on Ampere Altra systems with a single BERT record of ~250KB.

The original bert driver appears to have assumed relatively small table
data. Since it is impractical to reassemble large table data from
interwoven console messages, and the table data is available in

  /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BERT

limit the size for tables printed to the console to 1024 (for no reason
other than it seemed like a good place to kick off the discussion, would
appreciate feedback from existing users in terms of what size would
maintain their current usage model).

Alternatively, we could make printing a CONFIG option, use the
bert_disable boot arg (or something similar), or use a debug log level.
However, all those solutions require extra steps or change the existing
behavior for small table data. Limiting the size preserves existing
behavior on existing platforms with small table data, and eliminates the
soft lockups for platforms with large table data, while still making it
available.

<title>ACPI: APEI: explicit init of HEST and GHES in apci_init()</title>

<id>dc4e8c07e9e2f69387579c49caca26ba239f7270</id>
<content type='text'>
From commit e147133a42cb ("ACPI / APEI: Make hest.c manage the estatus
memory pool") was merged, ghes_init() relies on acpi_hest_init() to manage
the estatus memory pool. On the other hand, ghes_init() relies on
sdei_init() to detect the SDEI version and (un)register events. The
dependencies are as follows:

    ghes_init() =&gt; acpi_hest_init() =&gt; acpi_bus_init() =&gt; acpi_init()
    ghes_init() =&gt; sdei_init()

HEST is not PCI-specific and initcall ordering is implicit and not
well-defined within a level.

Based on above, remove acpi_hest_init() from acpi_pci_root_init() and
convert ghes_init() and sdei_init() from initcalls to explicit calls in the
following order:

    acpi_hest_init()
    ghes_init()
        sdei_init()

From commit e147133a42cb ("ACPI / APEI: Make hest.c manage the estatus
memory pool") was merged, ghes_init() relies on acpi_hest_init() to manage
the estatus memory pool. On the other hand, ghes_init() relies on
sdei_init() to detect the SDEI version and (un)register events. The
dependencies are as follows:

    ghes_init() =&gt; acpi_hest_init() =&gt; acpi_bus_init() =&gt; acpi_init()
    ghes_init() =&gt; sdei_init()

HEST is not PCI-specific and initcall ordering is implicit and not
well-defined within a level.

Based on above, remove acpi_hest_init() from acpi_pci_root_init() and
convert ghes_init() and sdei_init() from initcalls to explicit calls in the
following order:

    acpi_hest_init()
    ghes_init()
        sdei_init()
