Currently there are trace events for the various RAS
errors with the exception of ARM processor type errors.
Add a new trace event for such errors so that the user
will know when they occur. These trace events are
consistent with the ARM processor error section type
defined in UEFI 2.6 spec section N.2.4.4.

I think these fields are not enough, we need also export arm processor error
information (UEFI 2.6 spec section N.2.4.4.1), or at least the error type,
address, etc. So that the userspace (such as rasdaemon tool) could know what
error occurred.
This is something I am planning on adding in later. It is not clear to me how to
actually do this at this point. If you look at the spec, there is not a single
error information structure. There is at least one, but possibly a lot. There is
also an unknown amount of context information structures. In "Table 260. ARM Processor
Error Section" there are ERR_INFO_NUM and CONTEXT_INFO_NUM which give the number of these
structures. I think there will need to be separate trace events added in for each of
these structures because I don't think there is a way to have variable amounts of
structures inside of a trace event.
Yes, I agree.

Additional, cper_sec_proc_arm has validation bit, which indicates whether or not each of
the fields is valid in this section. How could we show it in this trace event? If the filed
is invalid, we would get a wrong value here.

I will add in checks for whether the fields are valid similar to what you did for the error info patch.

Thanks,
Tyler
