On an ACPI system, ACPI is initialised very early from a
subsys_initcall(), while SDEI is not ready until a
subsys_initcall_sync(). This patch is to reduce the time before GHES
initialization.
The SDEI driver provides functions (e.g. apei_sdei_register_ghes(),
apei_sdei_unregister_ghes()) to register or unregister event callback
for dispatcher in firmware. When the GHES driver probing, it registers
the corresponding callback according to the notification type specified
by GHES. If the GHES notification type is SDEI, the GHES driver will
call apei_sdei_register_ghes() to register event call.
When the firmware emits an event, it migrates the handling of the event
into the kernel at the registered entry-point __sdei_asm_handler. And
finally, the kernel will call the registered event callback and return
status_code to indicate the status of event handling. SDEI_EV_FAILED
indicates that the kernel failed to handle the event.
Consequently, when an error occurs during kernel booting, the kernel is
unable to handle and report errors until the GHES driver is initialized
by device_initcall(), in which the event callback is registered. For
example, when the kernel booting, the console logs many times from
firmware before GHES drivers init in our platform:
Trip in MM PCIe RAS handle(Intr:910)
Clean PE[1.1.1] ERR_STS:0x4000100 -> 0 INT_STS:F0000000
Find RP(98:1.0)
--Walk dev(98:1.0) CE:0 UCE:4000
...
ERROR: sdei_dispatch_event(32a) ret:-1
--handler(910) end
This is because the callback function has not been registered yet. Due
to the poor design of firmware, previously reported errors will be
overwritten by new ones. Therefore, all errors that occurred before GHES
initialization are missed and there is no chance to report and find them
again.
>From commit e147133a42cb ("ACPI / APEI: Make hest.c manage the estatus
memory pool") was merged, ghes_init() relies on acpi_hest_init() to manage
the estatus memory pool. On the other hand, ghes_init() relies on
sdei_init() to detect the SDEI version and the framework for registering
and unregistering events. The dependencies are as follows
ghes_init() => acpi_hest_init() => acpi_bus_init() => acpi_init()
ghes_init() => sdei_init()
Based on above, move sdei_init and ghes_init as far ahead as possible,
right after acpi_iort_init() in acpi_init(). After this patch, there are
still errors missing, but we have to tolerate it until the software
reporting capability is built. And this patch merely reduce the time
before GHES initialization. The boot dmesg before this patch:
[ 3.688586] HEST: Table parsing has been initialized.
...
[ 33.204340] calling sdei_init+0x0/0x120 @ 1
[ 33.208645] sdei: SDEIv1.0 (0x0) detected in firmware.
...
[ 36.005390] calling ghes_init+0x0/0x11c @ 1
[ 36.190021] GHES: APEI firmware first mode is enabled by APEI bit and WHEA _OSC.
After this patch, the boot dmesg like bellow:
[ 3.688664] HEST: Table parsing has been initialized.
[ 3.688691] sdei: SDEIv1.0 (0x0) detected in firmware.
[ 3.694557] GHES: APEI firmware first mode is enabled by APEI bit and WHEA _OSC.
As we can see, the initialization of GHES is advanced by 33 seconds.
(It should be noted that the effect of optimization varies with the
platform.)
