Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] Fix CPER issues related to UEFI 2.9A Errata

The UEFI 2.9A errata makes clear how ARM processor type encoding should
be done: it is meant to be equal to Generic processor, using a bitmask.

The current code assumes, for both generic and ARM processor types
that this is an integer, which is an incorrect assumption.

Fix it. While here, also fix a compilation issue when using W=1.

After the change, Kernel will properly decode receiving two errors at the same
message, as defined at UEFI spec:

[   75.282430] Memory failure: 0x5cdfd: recovery action for free buddy page: Recovered
[   94.973081] {2}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1

[   94.985749] {2}[Hardware Error]:     TLB level: 2
[   94.986277] {2}[Hardware Error]:     processor context not corrupted

And the error code is properly decoded according with table N.17 from UEFI 2.10
spec:

	[   94.981893] {2}[Hardware Error]:    error_type: 0x0006: cache error|TLB error

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (3):
  efi/cper: Adjust infopfx size to accept an extra space
  efi/cper: Add a new helper function to print bitmasks
  efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs
