Kees Cook 6da2ec5605 treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Punit Agrawal e931d0dab4 ACPI / APEI: Suppress message if HEST not present
According to the ACPI specification, firmware is not required to provide
the Hardware Error Source Table (HEST). When HEST is not present, the
following superfluous message is printed to the kernel boot log -

[    3.460067] GHES: HEST is not enabled!

Extend hest_disable variable to track whether the firmware provides this
table and if it is not present skip any log output. The existing
behaviour is preserved in all other cases.

Tyler Baicar 42aa560446 acpi: apei: read ack upon ghes record consumption
A RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) controller
may be a separate processor running in parallel with OS
execution, and may generate error records for consumption by
the OS. If the RAS controller produces multiple error records,
then they may be overwritten before the OS has consumed them.

The Generic Hardware Error Source (GHES) v2 structure
introduces the capability for the OS to acknowledge the
consumption of the error record generated by the RAS
controller. A RAS controller supporting GHESv2 shall wait for
the acknowledgment before writing a new error record, thus
eliminating the race condition.

Add support for parsing of GHESv2 sub-tables as well.

Tomasz Nowicki 9dae3d0d9e apei, mce: Factor out APEI architecture specific MCE calls.
This commit abstracts MCE calls and provides weak corresponding default
implementation for those architectures which do not need arch specific
actions. Each platform willing to do additional architectural actions
should provides desired function definition. It allows us to avoid wrap
code into #ifdef in generic code and prevent new platform from introducing
dummy stub function too.

Initially, there are two APEI arch-specific calls:
- arch_apei_enable_cmcff()
- arch_apei_report_mem_error()
Both interact with MCE driver for X86 architecture.

Naveen N. Rao c3d1fb567a mce: acpi/apei: Honour Firmware First for MCA banks listed in APEI HEST CMC
The Corrected Machine Check structure (CMC) in HEST has a flag which can be
set by the firmware to indicate to the OS that it prefers to process the
corrected error events first. In this scenario, the OS is expected to not
monitor for corrected errors (through CMCI/polling). Instead, the firmware
notifies the OS on corrected error events through GHES.

Linux already has support for GHES. This patch adds support for parsing CMC
structure and to disable CMCI/polling if the firmware first flag is set.

Further, the list of machine check bank structures at the end of CMC is used
to determine which MCA banks function in FF mode, so that we continue to
monitor error events on the other banks.

After commit 92ef2a2 (ACPI: Change the ordering of PCI root bridge
driver registrarion), acpi_hest_init() is never called for acpi=off
(acpi_disabled), so hest_disable is not set, but hest_tab is NULL,
which causes apei_hest_parse() to crash when it is called from
aer_acpi_firmware_first().

Fix that by making apei_hest_parse() check if hest_tab is not NULL
in addition to checking hest_disable.  Also remove the now useless
acpi_disabled check from apei_hest_parse().

Commit 415e12b237 ("PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root

a wrong place, presumably because the author confused acpi_pci_disabled
with acpi_disabled.  Bring the code ordering in acpi_pci_root_init()
back to sanity.

Additionally, make sure that hest_disable is set when acpi_disabled is
set, which is going to prevent acpi_hest_parse(), that still may be
executed for acpi_disabled=1 through aer_acpi_firmware_first(), from
crashing because of uninitialized hest_tab.

Jin Dongming 1dd6b20e36 ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry
information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data
will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data
should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic.

So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory
which saves entry information of erst_tab.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.

    Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using

Huang Ying 9dc9666416 ACPI, APEI, HEST table parsing
HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational
parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values)
to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error
sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for
example, chipset-specific error registers).

HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST
PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port
works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER
error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is
provided.
