Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.

The exception handler should behave differently if the exception is
fatal versus one that can be returned from. In the first case it should
never clear any registers because these need to be preserved
for logging after the next boot. Otherwise it should clear them
on each CPU step by step so that other CPUs sharing the same bank don't
see duplicate events. Otherwise we risk reporting events multiple
times on any CPUs which have shared machine check banks, which
is a common problem on Intel Nehalem which has both SMT (two
CPU threads sharing banks) and shared machine check banks in the uncore.
Determine early in a special pass if any event requires a panic.
This uses the mce_severity() function added earlier.
This is needed for the next patch.
Also fixes a problem together with an earlier patch
that corrected events weren't logged on a fatal MCE.

The machine check grading (as in deciding what should be done for a given
register value) has to be done multiple times soon and it's also getting
more complicated.
So it makes sense to consolidate it into a single function. To get smaller
and more straight forward and possibly more extensible code I opted towards
a new table driven method. The various rules are put into a table
when is then executed by a very simple interpreter.
The grading engine is in a new file mce-severity.c. I also added a private
include file mce-internal.h, because mce.h is already a bit too cluttered.
This is dead code right now, but will be used in followon patches.

Previously mce_panic used a simple heuristic to avoid printing
old so far unreported machine check events on a mce panic. This worked
by comparing the TSC value at the start of the machine check handler
with the event time stamp and only printing newer ones.
This has a couple of issues, in particular on systems where the TSC
is not fully synchronized between CPUs it could lose events or print
old ones.
It is also problematic with full system synchronization as it is
added by the next patch.
Remove the TSC heuristic and instead replace it with a simple heuristic
to print corrected errors first and after that uncorrected errors
and finally the worst machine check as determined by the machine
check handler.
This simplifies the code because there is no need to pass the
original TSC value around.

Experience has shown that struct mce which is used to pass an machine
check to the user space daemon currently a few limitations. Also some
data which is useful to print at panic level is also missing.
This patch addresses most of them. The same information is also
printed out together with mce panic.
struct mce can be painlessly extended in a compatible way, the mcelog
user space code just ignores additional fields with a warning.
- It doesn't provide a wall time timestamp. There have been a few
complaints about that. Fix that by adding a 64bit time_t
- It doesn't provide the exact CPU identification. This makes
it awkward for mcelog to decode the event correctly, especially
when there are variations in the supported MCE codes on different
CPU models or when mcelog is running on a different host after a panic.
Previously the administrator had to specify the correct CPU
when mcelog ran on a different host, but with the more variation
in machine checks now it's better to auto detect that.
It's also useful for more detailed analysis of CPU events.
Pass CPUID 1.EAX and the cpu vendor (as encoded in processor.h) instead.
- Socket ID and initial APIC ID are useful to report because they
allow to identify the failing CPU in some (not all) cases.
This is also especially useful for the panic situation.
This addresses one of the complaints from Thomas Gleixner earlier.
- The MCG capabilities MSR needs to be reported for some advanced
error processing in mcelog

Allow user programs to write mce records into /dev/mcelog. When they do
that a fake machine check is triggered to test the machine check code.
This uses the MCE MSR wrappers added earlier.
The implementation is straight forward. There is a struct mce record
per CPU and the MCE MSR accesses get data from there if there is valid
data injected there. This allows to test the machine check code
relatively realistically because only the lowest layer of hardware
access is intercepted.

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

First 32bit doesn't have oops_begin, so it's a barrier of using
this code on 32bit.
On closer examination it turns out oops_begin is not
a good idea in a machine check panic anyways. All oops_begin
does it so check for recursive/parallel oopses and implement the
"wait on oops" heuristic. But there's actually no good reason
to lock machine checks against oopses or prevent them
from recursion. Also "wait on oops" does not really make
sense for a machine check too.
Replace it with a manual bust_spinlocks/console_verbose.

i386 has no idle notifiers, but the 64bit machine check
code uses them to wake up mcelog from a fatal machine check
exception.
For corrected machine checks found by the poller or
threshold interrupts going through an idle notifier is not needed
because the wake_up can is just done directly and doesn't
need the idle notifier. It is only needed for logging
exceptions.
To be honest I never liked the idle notifier even though I signed
off on it. On closer investigation the code actually turned out
to be nearly. Right now machine check exceptions on x86 are always
unrecoverable (lead to panic due to PCC), which means we never execute
the idle notifier path.
The only exception is the somewhat weird tolerant==3 case, which
ignores PCC. I'll fix this in a future patch in a much cleaner way.
So remove the "mcelog wakeup through idle notifier" code
from 64bit.
This allows to compile the 64bit machine check handler on 32bit
which doesn't have idle notifiers.

Quoting the comment:
* SDM documents that on family 6 bank 0 should not be written
* because it aliases to another special BIOS controlled
* register.
* But it's not aliased anymore on model 0x1a+
* Don't ignore bank 0 completely because there could be a valid
* event later, merely don't write CTL0.
This is mostly a port on the 32bit code, except that 32bit
always didn't write it and didn't have the 0x1a heuristic. I checked
with the CPU designers that the quirk is not required starting with
this model.
