Reading ACPI data on ARM64 at a non-aligned offset from
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BERT will cause a splat because
the data is I/O memory mapped and being read with just a memcpy.
Fix this by introducing an I/O variant of memory_read_from_buffer
and using I/O memory mapped copies instead.

Fixes the following splat:

I have seen this on several platforms. The latest is an Altra based machine. It shows up in the Linux Test Project: ltp test "read_all -d /sys -q -r 10”.

The BERT error region doesn’t appear in the UEFI memory map on any of the systems I have looked at. This means that acpi_os_map_memory() will always map the area  as PROT_DEVICE_nGnRnE, which results in an alignment fault on an unaligned access. For some reason this does not fail on some implementations.

It isn’t clear to me from the ACPI spec whether this can be in anything other than normal memory as bert_init() seems to assume it is.

We have used this patch to resolve this problem on the assumption it will eventually make it into the mainline kernel. Is there any chance this will happen? 

Thanks,

Henry

Yes this should be fixed. I put together a patch that I needed to post,
below.

Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: osl: Fix BERT error region memory mapping

Currently the sysfs interface maps the BERT error region as "memory"
(through acpi_os_map_memory()) in order to copy the error records into
memory buffers through memory operations (eg memory_read_from_buffer()).

The OS system cannot detect whether the BERT error region is part of
system RAM or it is "device memory" (eg BMC memory) and therefore it
cannot detect which memory attributes the bus to memory support (and
corresponding kernel mapping, unless firmware provides the required
information).

The acpi_os_map_memory() arch backend implementation determines the
mapping attributes. On arm64, if the BERT error region is not present in
the EFI memory map, the error region is mapped as device-nGnRnE; this
triggers alignment faults since memcpy unaligned accesses are not
allowed in device-nGnRnE regions.

The ACPI sysfs code cannot therefore map by default the BERT error
region with memory semantics but should use a safer default.

Change the sysfs code to map the BERT error region as MMIO (through
acpi_os_map_iomem()) and use the memcpy_fromio() interface to read the
error region into the kernel buffer.

Hi Lorenzo,

Just checking the status on this patch?
Are you planning to submit for Rafael to pull?

It is more important now that the below has gone into 5.18:
'[PATCH] ACPI/APEI: Limit printable size of BERT table data'
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAJZ5v0gMh2ed+ZWOnd-t_uTrZtm=AUfxOAkAKWT7WQK3=gf+7w@mail.gmail.com/

Thank you!
doug
