Sounds interesting, but IMO it should be done only when other types besides
ghes would be added, as:
1. Right now, the file is acpi/ghes.c. Adding non-type 10 HEST structures
there would be a little weird. It should likely be renamed to acpi/hest.c
when such time comes.
2. ACPI 6.5 has made clear that the above will only work up to type 11,
as, from type 12 and above, the length will be added to the error
struct, according with:
https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/18_Platform_Error_Interfaces.html#error-source-structure-header-type-12-onward
3. some types have variable size. Starting from the beginning, type 0, as
defined at:
https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/18_Platform_Error_Interfaces.html#hardware-errors-and-error-sources
has:
size = 40 + 24 * Number of Hardware banks
So, a simple table like the above with fixed sizes won't work.
The code would need instead a switch if types are <= 11.
Adding proper support for all already defined 12 types sounds lots of
work, as the code would need to calculate the size depending on the
size, and we don't really initialize the HEST table with other types
but GHES.
Ok, we could still do something like this pseudo-code to get the
error source offset:
#define ACPI_HEST_TYPE_GHESV2 11
err_struct_offset = 0;
for (i = 0; i < source_id_count; i++) {
/* NOTE: Other types may have different sizes */
assert(ghes[i].type == ACPI_HEST_TYPE_GHESV2);
if (ghes[i].source_id == source_id)
break;
err_struct_offset += HEST_GHES_V2_TABLE_SIZE;
}
assert (i < source_id_count);
---
That's said, maybe this will just add unwanted complexity, as QEMU
is already setting those offsets via bios_linker_loader_add_pointer().
So, an alternative for that is to merge the code on patch 13 with the one
on patch 5, dropping the math calcus there and relying that QEMU will
always handle properly bios links.
See, the logic which constructs GHESv2 source IDs do this to create
the links between HEST ACPI table and etc/hardware_errors:
with:
Per-source ID logic at build_ghes_v2():
address_offset = table_data->len;
/* Error Status Address */
build_append_gas(table_data, AML_AS_SYSTEM_MEMORY, 0x40, 0,
4 /* QWord access */, 0);
bios_linker_loader_add_pointer(linker, ACPI_BUILD_TABLE_FILE,
address_offset + GAS_ADDR_OFFSET,
sizeof(uint64_t),
ACPI_HW_ERROR_FW_CFG_FILE,
source_id * sizeof(uint64_t));
...
/*
* Read Ack Register
* ACPI 6.1: 18.3.2.8 Generic Hardware Error Source
* version 2 (GHESv2 - Type 10)
*/
address_offset = table_data->len;
build_append_gas(table_data, AML_AS_SYSTEM_MEMORY, 0x40, 0,
4 /* QWord access */, 0);
bios_linker_loader_add_pointer(linker, ACPI_BUILD_TABLE_FILE,
address_offset + GAS_ADDR_OFFSET,
sizeof(uint64_t),
ACPI_HW_ERROR_FW_CFG_FILE,
(ACPI_HEST_SRC_ID_COUNT + source_id) *
sizeof(uint64_t));
HEST table creation logic inside build_ghes_error_table():
for (i = 0; i < ACPI_HEST_SRC_ID_COUNT; i++) {
/*
* Tell firmware to patch error_block_address entries to point to
* corresponding "Generic Error Status Block"
*/
bios_linker_loader_add_pointer(linker,
ACPI_HW_ERROR_FW_CFG_FILE, sizeof(uint64_t) * i,
sizeof(uint64_t), ACPI_HW_ERROR_FW_CFG_FILE,
error_status_block_offset + i * ACPI_GHES_MAX_RAW_DATA_LENGTH);
}
Using those, the location of the CPER and ack addresses is easy and won't
require any math:
/* GHESv2 CPER offset */
cpu_physical_memory_read(hest_err_block_addr, &error_block_addr,
sizeof(error_block_addr));
cpu_physical_memory_read(error_block_addr, &cper_addr,
sizeof(error_block_addr));
/* GHESv2 ack offset */
cpu_physical_memory_read(hest_read_ack_start_addr, &read_ack_start_addr,
sizeof(read_ack_start_addr));
