powerpc/powernv: Fix missing attr initialisation in opal_export_attrs()

In opal_export_attrs() we dynamically allocate some bin_attributes. They're
allocated with kmalloc() and although we initialise most of the fields, we don't
initialise write() or mmap(), and in particular we don't initialise the lockdep
related fields in the embedded struct attribute.

This leads to a lockdep warning at boot:

BUG: key c0000000f11906d8 not in .data!

A synchronous machine check is an exception raised by the attempt to

In other cases, the error condition is not related to the current

powerpc/powernv: Add a kmsg_dumper that flushes console output on panic

On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is
only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic
state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not
completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost.

Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off
or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL
flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this
patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait.

This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure
panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH
in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough
times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer.

The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the
kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic"
message may still be truncated as follows:

>Call Trace:
>[c000000f1f603b00] [c0000000008e9458] dump_stack+0x90/0xbc (unreliable)

This functionality is implemented as a kmsg_dumper as it seems to be the
most sensible way to introduce platform-specific functionality to the
panic function.

This could be a problem for kernels that don't support OPAL_MSG_OCC

OCC is throttling the chip. For a kernel that is paying attention to
the message queue, we could get these notifications quite often.

Conceivably, future message types could also come fairly often,

no further information than printing them once.

immediate panic. There are 2 reasons that this is the right policy:

powerpc/powernv: Panic on unhandled Machine Check

All unrecovered machine check errors on PowerNV should cause an
immediate panic. There are 2 reasons that this is the right policy:
it's not safe to continue, and we're already trying to reboot.

Firstly, if we go through the recovery process and do not successfully
recover, we can't be sure about the state of the machine, and it is
not safe to recover and proceed.

Linux knows about the following sources of Machine Check Errors:
- Uncorrectable Errors (UE)
- Effective - Real Address Translation (ERAT)
- Segment Lookaside Buffer (SLB)
- Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB)
- Unknown/Unrecognised

In the SLB, TLB and ERAT cases, we can further categorise these as
parity errors, multihit errors or unknown/unrecognised.

We can handle SLB errors by flushing and reloading the SLB. We can
handle TLB and ERAT multihit errors by flushing the TLB. (It appears
we may not handle TLB and ERAT parity errors: I will investigate
further and send a followup patch if appropriate.)

This leaves us with uncorrectable errors. Uncorrectable errors are
usually the result of ECC memory detecting an error that it cannot
correct, but they also crop up in the context of PCI cards failing
during DMA writes, and during CAPI error events.

There are several types of UE, and there are 3 places a UE can occur:
Skiboot, the kernel, and userspace. For Skiboot errors, we have the
facility to make some recoverable. For userspace, we can simply kill
(SIGBUS) the affected process. We have no meaningful way to deal with
UEs in kernel space or in unrecoverable sections of Skiboot.

Currently, these unrecovered UEs fall through to
machine_check_expection() in traps.c, which calls die(), which OOPSes
and sends SIGBUS to the process. This sometimes allows us to stumble
onwards. For example we've seen UEs kill the kernel eehd and
khugepaged. However, the process killed could have held a lock, or it
could have been a more important process, etc: we can no longer make
any assertions about the state of the machine. Similarly if we see a
UE in skiboot (and again we've seen this happen), we're not in a
position where we can make any assertions about the state of the
machine.

Likewise, for unknown or unrecognised errors, we're not able to say
anything about the state of the machine.

Therefore, if we have an unrecovered MCE, the most appropriate thing
to do is to panic.

The second reason is that since e784b6499d9c ("powerpc/powernv: Invoke
opal_cec_reboot2() on unrecoverable machine check errors."), we
attempt a special OPAL reboot on an unhandled MCE. This is so the
hardware can record error data for later debugging.

The comments in that commit assert that we are heading down the panic
path anyway. At the moment this is not always true. With UEs in kernel
space, for instance, they are marked as recoverable by the hardware,
so if the attempt to reboot failed (e.g. old Skiboot), we wouldn't
panic() but would simply die() and OOPS. It doesn't make sense to be
staggering on if we've just tried to reboot: we should panic().

Explicitly panic() on unrecovered MCEs on PowerNV.
Update the comments appropriately.

This fixes some hangs following EEH events on cxlflash setups.

powerpc/powernv: Invoke opal_cec_reboot2() on unrecoverable machine check errors.

On non-recoverable MCE errors in kernel space, Linux kernel panics
and system reboots. On BMC based system opal-prd runs as a daemon
in the host. Hence, kernel crash may prevent opal-prd to detect and
analyze this MCE error. This may land us in a situation where the faulty
memory never gets de-configured and Linux would keep hitting same MCE error
again and again. If this happens in early stage of kernel initialization,
then Linux will keep crashing and rebooting in a loop.

This patch fixes this issue by invoking new opal_cec_reboot2() call with
reboot type OPAL_REBOOT_PLATFORM_ERROR to inform BMC/OCC about this
error, so that BMC can collect relevant data for error analysis and
decide what component to de-configure before rebooting.

This patch is dependent on OPAL patchset posted on skiboot mailing list
at https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2015-July/001771.html that
introduces opal_cec_reboot2() opal call.
