[PATCH 1/2] ACPI/AEST: Initial AEST driver

Hi,

I haven't looked at this in great detail, but I spotted a few issues
from an initial scan.

Can we actually assume that? What does the specification mandate?

Has this been tested on any hardware or software platform?

IIUC This should be 16, not 0x16 (i.e. 22).

These last four might be better an an array.

I suspect it'd be better to pass this value around directly as
`version`, rather than dropping this into a `misc23_present` temporary
variable, as that would be a little clearer, and future-proof if/when
more registers get added.

Why get_cpu() here? Do you just need smp_processor_id()?

The commit message explained that this would be PE-local (e.g. in a PPI
handler), and we've already checked this_cpu_has_cap() which assumes
we're not preemptible.

So I don't see why we should use get_cpu() here -- any time it would
have a difference implies something has already gone wrong.

Why in hex? We normally print 'cpu%d' or 'CPU%d', since this is a
logical ID anyway.

As above, I reckon it's better to have this as 'version' or
'ras_version', and have the checks below be:

	if (version >= ID_AA64PFR0_RAS_V1P1) {
		// poke SYS_ERXMISC2_EL1
		// poke SYS_ERXMISC3_EL1
	}

Any reason not to clear when we read, above? e.g.

#define READ_CLEAR_MISC(nr, clear)					\
({									\
	unsigned long __val = read_sysreg_s(SYS_ERXMISC##nr##_EL1);	\
	if (clear);							\
		write_sysreg_s(0, SYS_ERXMISC##nr##_EL1);		\
	__val;								\
})

if (regs.err_status & ERR_STATUS_MV) {
	regs.err_misc0 = READ_CLEAR_MISC(0, clear_misc);
	regs.err_misc1 = READ_CLEAR_MISC(1, clear_misc);

	if (version >= ID_AA64PFR0_RAS_V1P1) {
		regs.err_misc2 = READ_CLEAR_MISC(2, clear_misc);
		regs.err_misc3 = READ_CLEAR_MISC(3, clear_misc);
	}

}

... why does the clearing need to be conditional?

This should be a preparatory patch; this is preumably a latent bug in
KVM.

As above, do we have any guarantee these are actually PPIs?

Is the shift the wrong way around?

Above we have:

	#define ERRDEVARCH_REV_SHIFT 0x16
	#define ERRDEVARCH_REV_MASK  0xf

	#define RAS_REV_v1_1         0x1

.. so this is:

	val <<= 0x16;
	val &= 0xf;		// val[0x15:0] == 0, so this is 0

	return val >= 0x1;	// false

It'd be nicer to use FIELD_GET() here.

As above, I also think it would be better to retrun the value of the
field, and check that explciitly, for future proofing.

Why don't we call panic() as soon as we realise an error is fatal?

Thanks,
