Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/10] Add RAS support for RISC-V architecture

RAS stands for Reliability, Availability and Serviceability.

This series implements the RAS support for RISC-V architecture using
RISC-V RERI specification. It is conformant to ACPI platform error
interfaces (APEI). It uses the highest priority Supervisor Software
Events (SSE)[2] to deliver the hardware error events to the kernel.
The SSE implementation has already been merged in OpenSBI. Clement
has sent a patch series for its implemenation in Linux kernel.[5]

The GHES driver framework is used as is with the following changes for RISC-V:
	1. Register each ghes entry with SSE layer. Ghes notification vector is SSE event.
	2. Add RISC-V specific entries for processor type and ISA string
	3. Add fixmap indices GHES SSE Low and High Priority to help map and read from
	   physical addresses present in GHES entry.
	4. Other changes to build/configure the RAS support

How to Use:
----------
This RAS stack consists of Qemu[3], OpenSBI, EDK2[4], Linux kernel and devmem utility to inject and trigger
errors. Qemu [Ref.] has support to emulate RISC-V RERI. The RAS agent is implemented in OpenSBI which
creates CPER records. EDK2 generates HEST table and populates it with GHES entries with the help of
OpenSBI.

Qemu Command:
------------
<qemu-dir>/build/qemu-system-riscv64 \
    -s -accel tcg -m 4096 -smp 2 \
    -cpu rv64,smepmp=false \
    -serial mon:stdio \
    -d guest_errors -D ./qemu.log \
    -bios <opensbi-dir>/build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin \
    -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:55555,server,nowait \
    -device virtio-gpu-pci -full-screen \ 
    -device qemu-xhci \
    -device usb-kbd \
    -blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=<edk2-build-dir>/RiscVVirtQemu/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT_CODE.fd \
    -blockdev node-name=pflash1,driver=file,filename=<edk2-build-dir>/RiscVVirtQemu/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/RISCV_VIRT_VARS.fd \
    -M virt,pflash0=pflash0,pflash1=pflash1,rpmi=true,reri=true,aia=aplic-imsic \
    -kernel <kernel image> \
    -initrd <rootfs image> \
    -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000"

Error Injection & Triggering:
----------------------------
devmem 0x4010040 32 0x2a1
devmem 0x4010048 32 0x9001404
devmem 0x4010044 8 1

The above commands injects a TLB error on CPU 0.

Sample Output (CPU 0):
---------------------
[   34.370282] {1}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1
[   34.371375] {1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable
[   34.372149] {1}[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: recoverable
[   34.372756] {1}[Hardware Error]:   section_type: general processor error
[   34.373357] {1}[Hardware Error]:   processor_type: 3, RISCV
[   34.373806] {1}[Hardware Error]:   processor_isa: 6, RISCV64
[   34.374294] {1}[Hardware Error]:   error_type: 0x02
[   34.374845] {1}[Hardware Error]:   TLB error
[   34.375448] {1}[Hardware Error]:   operation: 1, data read
[   34.376100] {1}[Hardware Error]:   target_address: 0x0000000000000000
