This table goes in the current + "etc/acpi/tables" fw_cfg blob. Each error source has different + notification types. + +(2) A new fw_cfg blob called "etc/hardware_errors" is introduced. QEMU + also need to populate this blob. The "etc/hardwre_errors" fw_cfg blob + contains an address registers table and an Error Status Data Block tab= le. + +(3) The address registers table contains N Error Block Address entries + and N Read Ack Register entries, the size for each entry is 8-byte. + The Error Status Data Block table contains N Error Status Data Block + entries, the size for each entry is 4096(0x1000) bytes. The total size + for "etc/hardware_errors" fw_cfg blob is (N * 8 * 2 + N * 4096) bytes. + N is the kinds of hardware error sources. + +(4) QEMU generates the ACPI linker/loader script for the firmware, the + firmware pre-allocates memory for "etc/acpi/tables", "etc/hardware_err= ors" + and copies blobs content there. + +(5) QEMU generates N ADD_POINTER commands, which patch address in the + "error_status_address" fields of the HEST table with a pointer to the + corresponding "address registers" in "etc/hardware_errors" blob. + +(6) QEMU generates N ADD_POINTER commands, which patch address in the + "read_ack_register" fields of the HEST table with a pointer to the + corresponding "address registers" in "etc/hardware_errors" blob. + +(7) QEMU generates N ADD_POINTER commands for the firmware, which patch + address in the " error_block_address" fields with a pointer to the + respective "Error Status Data Block" in "etc/hardware_errors" blob. + +(8) QEMU defines a third and write-only fw_cfg blob which is called + "etc/hardware_errors_addr". Through that blob, the firmware can send b= ack + the guest-side allocation addresses to QEMU. The "etc/hardware_errors_= addr" + blob contains a 8-byte entry. QEMU generates a single WRITE_POINTER co= mmands + for the firmware, the firmware will write back the start address of + "etc/hardware_errors" blob to fw_cfg file "etc/hardware_errors_addr". + +(9) When QEMU gets SIGBUS from the kernel, QEMU formats the CPER right into + guest memory, and then injects whatever interrupt (or assert whatever = GPIO + line) as a notification which is necessary for notifying the guest. + +(10) This notification (in virtual hardware) will be handled by guest kern= el, + guest APEI driver will read the CPER which is recorded by QEMU and do = the + recovery. --=20 2.19.1
