[PATCH v6 04/13] arm64: kernel: Survive corrected RAS errors notified by SError

James Morse james.morse at arm.com

Prior to v8.2, SError is an uncontainable fatal exception. The v8.2 RAS
extensions use SError to notify software about RAS errors, these can be
contained by the Error Syncronization Barrier.

An ACPI system with firmware-first may use SError as its 'SEI'
notification. Future patches may add code to 'claim' this SError as a
notification.

Other systems can distinguish these RAS errors from the SError ESR and
use the AET bits and additional data from RAS-Error registers to handle
the error. Future patches may add this kernel-first handling.

Without support for either of these we will panic(), even if we received
a corrected error. Add code to decode the severity of RAS errors. We can
safely ignore contained errors where the CPU can continue to make
progress. For all other errors we continue to panic().

Changes since v4:
 * Reworded 'blocking' to 'fatal'.
 * Added AET_SHIFT define
 * Check local CPU caps to allow survivable contained SError on systems where
   some CPUs have RAS support and some don't.
 * Clarified where we are merging uncategorized and uncontained. Mostly
   comments and swapping '0' for a macro defined as 0.
   Note: These two share an encoding on aarch32.
 * Removed preempt bodge, KVM now calls this from a non-preemtible location.

(all of which I think are minor)
