This approach is the first baby step towards solving many of the
structural problems the x86 MCE logging code is having today:
- It has a private ring-buffer implementation that has a number
of limitations and has been historically fragile and buggy.
- It is using a quirky /dev/mcelog ioctl driven ABI that is MCE
specific. /dev/mcelog is not part of any larger logging
framework and hence has remained on the fringes for many years.
- The MCE logging code is still very unclean partly due to its ABI
limitations. Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and
the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin
with.
All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private
implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework.
By using perf events we gain the following advantages:
- Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an
mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing
important events in flight-recorder mode.
- Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE
events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns
of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity
happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in
time.
- Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a
number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to
monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of
events.
- Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can
act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE
information.
- Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we
are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's
in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount
of data that hits the event channel.
- Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32
entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have
the RAM.
- An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space.
- Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU
markers, etc.
- A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task
and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The
ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure.
- Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling.
New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's
various parsers that can be used.
- Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE
events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it.
- Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added
the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report,
perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and
perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it
can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action
in mcelog, etc.
With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature
improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the
/dev/mcelog facility in the end.
This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to
the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of
concept step.

The EHCI driver does some bounds checking when it's scheduling an iTD for
an active endpoint. It sets the local variable start to
stream->next_uframe and moves that variable further in the schedule if
necessary. However, the driver fails to do anything with start before
jumping to the ready label and setting the URB's starting frame to
stream->next_uframe. Alan Stern confirms the EHCI driver should set
stream->next_uframe to start before jumping.

This patch (as1294) fixes a problem that has plagued users for several
kernel releases. Some USB mass-storage devices don't return any sense
data when they encounter certain kinds of errors. The SCSI layer
interprets this to mean that the operation should be retried, and the
same thing happens -- over and over again with no limit. In some
circumstances (such as when a bus reset occurs) that is the right
thing to do, but not here.
The patch checks for this condition (a transport failure with no sense
data) and changes the result code to DID_ERROR and the sense code to
Hardware Error. This does get only a limited number of retries, and
so the command will fail relatively quickly instead of getting stuck
in an infinite loop.
This fixes a large part of Bugzilla #14118.

When the host controller dies (e.g. it is removed from a PCI card slot),
the xHCI driver cannot expect commands to complete. The buggy code this
patch fixes would mark an URB as canceled and then expect the URB to be
completed when the stop endpoint command completed. That would never
happen if the host controller was dead, so the USB core would just hang in
the disconnect code.
If the host controller died, and the driver asks to cancel an URB, free
any structures associated with that URB and immediately give it back.
