This paragraph is merging two things that aren't related.
The 'ARM v8.2 architecture extensions' have some RAS bits, which if your CPU
implements v8.2 are required.

ACPIv6.1 added NOTIFY_SEI as a notification type for ARMv8 systems.

This patch adds a GHES function for NOTIFY_SEI. Please leave the CPU RAS
extensions out of it.

This series doesn't add a caller/user for this new API, so why do we need to do
this now?

(I still haven't had a usable answer for 'what does your firmware do when SError
is masked', but I'll go beat that drum on the other thread).


More important for the APEI code is: How do SEA and SEI interact?

As far as I can see they can both interrupt each other, which isn't something
the single in_nmi() path in APEI can handle. I thinks we should fix this first.
(I'll try and polish my RFC that had a stab at that...)


SEA gets away with a lot of things because its synchronous. SEI isn't. Xie XiuQi
pointed to the memory_failure_queue() code. We can use this directly from SEA,
but not SEI. (what happens if an SError arrives while we are queueing
memory_failure work from an IRQ).

The one that scares me is the trace-point reporting stuff. What happens if an
SError arrives while we are enabling a trace point? (these are static-keys right?)


I don't think we can just plumb SEI in like this and be done with it.
(I'm looking at teasing out the estatus cache code from being x86:NMI only. This
way we solve the same 'cant do this from NMI context' with the same code'.)


Thanks,

James

This paragraph keeps cropping up. Who expects an address with an SError?
We don't get one for IRQs, but that never needs stating.

(It's expected you test your own code)

Surely if I only have one of CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_SE{A,I} this can't be compiled.

And here.
