The ghes_edac driver was introduced in 2013 [1], but it has not been
enabled by any distro yet. This driver obtains error info from firmware
interfaces (APEI), which are not properly implemented on many platforms,
as the driver says on load:
This EDAC driver relies on BIOS to enumerate memory and get error
reports. Unfortunately, not all BIOSes reflect the memory layout
correctly. So, the end result of using this driver varies from vendor
to vendor. If you find incorrect reports, please contact your hardware
vendor to correct its BIOS.
To get out from this situation, add a platform check to selectively
enable the driver on platforms that are known to have proper APEI
firmware implementation.
"ghes_edac.force_load=1" skips this platform check.

We're enumerating the DIMMs through a DMI walk and since we can't get
any more detailed topological information about which DIMMs belong to
which memory controller, convert it to a single, logical controller
which contains all the DIMMs.
The error reporting path from GHES ghes_edac_report_mem_error() doesn't
get called in NMI context but add a warning about it to catch any
changes in the future as if so, our locking scheme will be insufficient
then.

The PAGES_TO_MiB macro is used for unit conversion but the
trace_mc_event() tracepoint expects a page address. Fix that.

My static checker complains because the "e->location" has up to 256
characters but we are copying it into the "pvt->detail_location" which
only has space for 240 characters. That's not counting the surrounding
text and the "e->other_detail" string which can be over 80 characters
long.
I am not familiar with this code but presumably it normally works.
Let's add a limit though for safety.

In latest UEFI spec(by now it is 2.4) memory error definition
for CPER (UEFI 2.4 Appendix N Common Platform Error Record)
adds some new fields. These fields help people to locate
memory error to an actual DIMM location.

With the current version of CPER, there's no way to associate an
error with the memory error. So, the error location in EDAC
layers is unused.
As CPER has its own idea about memory architectural layers, just
output whatever is there inside the driver's detail at the RAS
tracepoint.
The EDAC location keeps untouched, in the case that, in some future,
we could actually map the error into the dimm labels.
Now, the error message:

Provide a better infrastructure for printk's inside the driver:
- use edac_dbg() for debug messages;
- standardize the usage of pr_info();
- provide warning about the risk of relying on this
driver.
While here, changes the size of a fake memory to 1 page. This is
as good or as bad as 1000 pages, but it is easier for userspace to
detect, as I don't expect that any machine implementing GHES would
provide just 1 page available ;)

Register GHES at EDAC MC core, in order to avoid other
drivers to also handle errors and mangle with error data.
The edac core will warrant that just one driver will be used,
so the first one to register (BIOS first) will be the one that
will be reporting the hardware errors.
For now, the EDAC driver does nothing but to register at the
EDAC core, preventing the hardware-driven mechanism to
interfere with GHES.
