2026-09-04ACPI: APEI: GHES: Bound AER info copy and sanitize software metadataDave Jiang
ghes_handle_aer() copies sizeof(struct aer_capability_regs) out of the fixed 96-byte pcie_err->aer_info. The struct is larger, so the copy reads past the section, and it fills the software-only header_len and flit fields of the embedded struct pcie_tlp_log from firmware bytes. pcie_print_tlp_log() uses both to bound a loop over dw[], so a large value walks past the array. Nothing checks the section can hold a struct cper_sec_pcie either. Validate error_data_length, zero the destination, and map aer_info onto the struct as extlog_print_pcie() does: copy up to the four Header Log DWORDs, then place the TLP Prefix Log from its own offset. The rest stays zero, covering header_len and flit.

2026-09-04ACPI: APEI: GHES: Validate memory error section length before payload accessDave Jiang
ghes_do_proc() hands the CPER_SEC_PLATFORM_MEM payload to the report chain, arch_apei_report_mem_error() and ghes_handle_memory_failure() without checking gdata->error_data_length. All three read validation_bits and physical_addr, at offsets 0 and 16, so a shorter section reads past the record. Check the length once in ghes_do_proc(), before any consumer runs. Take the 73-byte struct cper_sec_mem_err_old as the floor: older firmware legitimately emits that UEFI 2.1/2.2 layout, and it makes validation_bits safe to read. The fields from "extended" on are absent from that layout, so also require whatever length the validation bits claim. Derive it per field rather than demanding the full 80 bytes: rank needs only 76, and the BANK_GROUP and BANK_ADDRESS bits describe "bank" at offset 38, which every record carries. Testing the whole mask against one size, as cper_print_mem() does, gets it wrong both ways.

2026-09-04ACPI: extlog: Defer CXL protocol error handling to avoid lock inversionDave Jiang
extlog_print() calls cxl_cper_handle_prot_err() synchronously while the MCE notifier chain rwsem is held, and that path takes the PCI device_lock via guard(device)(). The probe path takes the two in the opposite order, holding device_lock while mce_register_decode_chain() takes the rwsem, so they can deadlock AB-BA. ghes.c already avoids this by posting protocol errors to a kfifo and handling them from a workqueue via cxl_cper_post_prot_err(). Export that function and call it instead. Declare it with the other CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_GHES exports rather than at the end of the header. No #else stub: ACPI_EXTLOG selects ACPI_APEI_GHES, so the only caller cannot exist without it.

2026-08-07ACPI: APEI: Handle repeated SEA error stormsJunhao He
When hardware memory corruption occurs and a user process accesses the corrupted page, the CPU triggers a Synchronous External Abort (SEA). The kernel invokes do_sea() to handle the exception, which calls memory_failure() to handle the faulty page. Scenario 1: Memory Error Interrupt First, then SEA The page is already poisoned by the memory error interrupt path. The subsequent SEA handler sends a SIGBUS to the task, which accesses the poisoned page. This flow is correct. Scenario 2: SEA first, then memory error interrupt (problematic scenario) If a user task directly accesses corrupted memory through a PFNMAP-style mapping (e.g., devmem), the page may still be in the free-buddy state when SEA is handled. In this case, memory_failure() will poison the page without invoking kill_accessing_process(), and then takes the free-buddy recovery path. After the CPU returns to the task context, the task re-enters the SEA handler due to the same access. However, ghes_estatus_cached() suppresses all subsequent entries during the 10-second window, preventing ghes_do_proc() from being called. This suppression blocks the MF_ACTION_REQUIRED-based SIGBUS delivery, causing the kernel to fail to kill the task immediately. Consequently, the process keeps re-entering the SEA handler, leading to an SEA storm. Later, the memory error interrupt path also cannot kill the task, leaving the system stuck in this repeated loop. The following error logs are explained using the devmem process: NOTICE: SEA Handle [Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 9 [Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable [Hardware Error]: section_type: ARM processor error [Hardware Error]: physical fault address: 0x0000001000093c00 [T54990] Memory failure: 0x1000093: recovery action for free buddy page: Recovered [ T9955] EDAC MC0: 1 UE Multi-bit ECC on unknown memory (page:0x1000093 offset:0xc00 grain:1 - APEI location: ...)

The subsequent SEA handler invocation uses arm64_notify_die() to send a SIGBUS signal to the task, which terminates the process and prevents it from re-entering the handler loop.

In ghes_handle_arm_hw_error(), after skipping the cper_sec_proc_arm header with (err + 1), the remaining length was reduced by sizeof(err) (pointer size) instead of sizeof(*err) (structure size). That overestimates the bytes left for cper_arm_err_info records and can let the parser read past the CPER section when err_info_num is large enough relative to error_data_length. Use sizeof(*err) so the length accounting matches the pointer advance and the earlier sizeof(*err) size check.

2026-08-05cxl: Tighten CPER kfifo registration API and symbol visibilityDan Williams
Tighten the CPER protocol error kfifo registration API and symbol visibility. Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL() for the CPER kfifo registration symbols. This names the consuming module explicitly and gives compile-time enforcement. Drop the work_struct argument from the unregister path. Change the WARN_ONCE condition to a NULL check since there is no caller pointer to compare against anymore. Return void from the registration helpers whose result callers ignore. cxl_cper_register_work() keeps its int return as the only one consumed by a caller. Flag double registration with WARN_ONCE() inside the lock instead of returning an error. Change cxl_ras_init() to void because there is one consumer and one producer so the error return was unnecessary. Remove the now-dead error check in cxl_core_init().

2026-08-05acpi/apei/ghes: Use raw_spinlock_t for CXL CPER work locksTerry Bowman
The CXL CPER work registration and unregistration helpers acquire cxl_cper_work_lock and cxl_cper_prot_err_work_lock with a spinlock guard(), which leaves local interrupts enabled. The corresponding post paths (cxl_cper_post_event(), cxl_cper_post_prot_err()) execute in hard IRQ context (they are called from the GHES error notification path) and acquire the same locks with an irqsave guard(). If a CPU is holding one of these locks via a spinlock guard() when a GHES interrupt arrives on the same CPU, the IRQ handler spins on the held lock waiting for it to release, while the lock holder is preempted by the IRQ. The result is a deadlock. Convert both locks from spinlock_t to raw_spinlock_t and use guard() at all call sites. On PREEMPT_RT kernels spinlock_t is backed by rt_mutex and sleeping from hard IRQ context is not permitted; raw_spinlock_t is safe in both contexts. Add WARN_ONCE to both register functions to surface double-registration bugs at runtime. Restructure both unregister functions to clear the global work pointer under the lock before calling cancel_work_sync(), closing the window where a CPER interrupt could schedule work on a pointer about to be freed. Add kfifo_reset() after cancel_work_sync() so stale entries are not replayed on next module load. Both kfifos are single-consumer: only one work_struct is registered at a time, enforced by the WARN_ONCE guard in the register functions. kfifo_reset() is safe outside the lock because cancel_work_sync() has already quiesced the consumer, and no new consumer can register until the current module exit completes and a fresh module init runs. Remove the redundant cancel_work_sync() call from cxl_ras_exit() and cxl_pci_driver_exit(). The CPER unregister functions now quiesce the work internally.

Add support for decoding NVIDIA-specific CPER sections delivered via the APEI GHES vendor record notifier chain. NVIDIA hardware generates vendor-specific CPER sections containing error signatures and diagnostic register dumps. This implementation registers a notifier_block with the GHES vendor record notifier and decodes these sections, printing error details via dev_info(). The driver binds to ACPI device NVDA2012, present on NVIDIA server platforms. The NVIDIA CPER section contains a fixed header with error metadata (signature, error type, severity, socket) followed by variable-length register address-value pairs for hardware diagnostics.

2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

To avoid the warning in the common allmodconfig case when it can break the build, disable KASAN for ghes.o when compile testing with clang-17 and older. Disabling KASAN outright may hide legitimate runtime issues, so live with the warning in that case; the user can either increase the frame warning limit or disable -Werror, which they should probably do when debugging with KASAN anyways.

2026-01-14ACPI: APEI: GHES: Extract helper functions for error status handlingShuai Xue
Refactors the GHES driver by extracting common functionality into reusable helper functions: 1. ghes_has_active_errors() - Checks if any error sources in a given list have active errors 2. ghes_map_error_status() - Maps error status address to virtual address 3. ghes_unmap_error_status() - Unmaps error status virtual address 4. Use `guard(rcu)()` instead of explicit `rcu_read_lock()`/`rcu_read_unlock()`. These helpers eliminate code duplication in the NMI path and prepare for similar usage in the SEA path in a subsequent patch. No functional change intended.

2026-01-14ACPI: APEI: GHES: Improve ghes_notify_nmi() status checkTony Luck
ghes_notify_nmi() is called for every NMI and must check whether the NMI was generated because an error was signalled by platform firmware. This check is very expensive as for each registered GHES NMI source it reads from the acpi generic address attached to this error source to get the physical address of the acpi_hest_generic_status block. It then checks the "block_status" to see if an error was logged. The ACPI/APEI code must create virtual mappings for each of those physical addresses, and tear them down afterwards. On an Icelake system this takes around 15,000 TSC cycles. Enough to disturb efforts to profile system performance. If that were not bad enough, there are some atomic accesses in the code path that will cause cache line bounces between CPUs. A problem that gets worse as the core count increases. But BIOS changes neither the acpi generic address nor the physical address of the acpi_hest_generic_status block. So this walk can be done once when the NMI is registered to save the virtual address (unmapping if the NMI is ever unregistered). The "block_status" can be checked directly in the NMI handler. This can be done without any atomic accesses. Resulting time to check that there is not an error record is around 900 cycles.

2026-01-14APEI/GHES: ensure that won't go past CPER allocated recordMauro Carvalho Chehab
The logic at ghes_new() prevents allocating too large records, by checking if they're bigger than GHES_ESTATUS_MAX_SIZE (currently, 64KB). Yet, the allocation is done with the actual number of pages from the CPER bios table location, which can be smaller. Yet, a bad firmware could send data with a different size, which might be bigger than the allocated memory, causing an OOPS: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fff00000f9b40000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000007 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x07: level 3 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000007, ISS2 = 0x00000000 CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 swapper pgtable: 4k pages, 52-bit VAs, pgdp=000000008ba16000 [fff00000f9b40000] pgd=180000013ffff403, p4d=180000013fffe403, pud=180000013f85b403, pmd=180000013f68d403, pte=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000007 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 303 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.19.0-rc1-00002-gda407d200220 #34 PREEMPT Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS unknown 02/02/2022 Workqueue: kacpi_notify acpi_os_execute_deferred pstate: 214020c5 (nzCv daIF +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : hex_dump_to_buffer+0x30c/0x4a0 lr : hex_dump_to_buffer+0x328/0x4a0 sp : ffff800080e13880 x29: ffff800080e13880 x28: ffffac9aba86f6a8 x27: 0000000000000083 x26: fff00000f9b3fffc x25: 0000000000000004 x24: 0000000000000004 x23: ffff800080e13905 x22: 0000000000000010 x21: 0000000000000083 x20: 0000000000000001 x19: 0000000000000008 x18: 0000000000000010 x17: 0000000000000001 x16: 00000007c7f20fec x15: 0000000000000020 x14: 0000000000000008 x13: 0000000000081020 x12: 0000000000000008 x11: ffff800080e13905 x10: ffff800080e13988 x9 : 0000000000000000 x8 : 0000000000000000 x7 : 0000000000000001 x6 : 0000000000000020 x5 : 0000000000000030 x4 : 00000000fffffffe x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : ffffac9aba78c1c8 x1 : ffffac9aba76d0a8 x0 : 0000000000000008 Call trace: hex_dump_to_buffer+0x30c/0x4a0 (P) print_hex_dump+0xac/0x170 cper_estatus_print_section+0x90c/0x968 cper_estatus_print+0xf0/0x158 __ghes_print_estatus+0xa0/0x148 ghes_proc+0x1bc/0x220 ghes_notify_hed+0x5c/0xb8 notifier_call_chain+0x78/0x148 blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4c/0x80 acpi_hed_notify+0x28/0x40 acpi_ev_notify_dispatch+0x50/0x80 acpi_os_execute_deferred+0x24/0x48 process_one_work+0x15c/0x3b0 worker_thread+0x2d0/0x400 kthread+0x148/0x228 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Code: 6b14033f 540001ad a94707e2 f100029f (b8747b44) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Prevent that by taking the actual allocated are into account when checking for CPER length.

Introduce a generic infrastructure for tracking recoverable hardware errors (HW errors that are visible to the OS but does not cause a panic) and record them for vmcore consumption. This aids post-mortem crash analysis tools by preserving a count and timestamp for the last occurrence of such errors. On the other side, correctable errors, which the OS typically remains unaware of because the underlying hardware handles them transparently, are less relevant for crash dump and therefore are NOT tracked in this infrastructure. Add centralized logging for sources of recoverable hardware errors based on the subsystem it has been notified. hwerror_data is write-only at kernel runtime, and it is meant to be read from vmcore using tools like crash/drgn. For example, this is how it looks like when opening the crashdump from drgn. >>> prog['hwerror_data'] (struct hwerror_info[1]){ { .count = (int)844, .timestamp = (time64_t)1752852018, }, ... This helps fleet operators quickly triage whether a crash may be influenced by hardware recoverable errors (which executes a uncommon code path in the kernel), especially when recoverable errors occurred shortly before a panic, such as the bug fixed by commit ee62ce7a1d90 ("page_pool: Track DMA-mapped pages and unmap them when destroying the pool") This is not intended to replace full hardware diagnostics but provides a fast way to correlate hardware events with kernel panics quickly. Rare machine check exceptions—like those indicated by mce_flags.p5 or mce_flags.winchip—are not accounted for in this method, as they fall outside the intended usage scope for this feature's user base.

Up to UEFI spec 2.9, the type byte of CPER struct for ARM processor was defined simply as: Type at byte offset 4: - Cache error - TLB Error - Bus Error - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved Yet, there was no information about how this would be encoded. Spec 2.9A errata corrected it by defining: - Bit 1 - Cache Error - Bit 2 - TLB Error - Bit 3 - Bus Error - Bit 4 - Micro-architectural Error All other values are reserved That actually aligns with the values already defined on older versions at N.2.4.1. Generic Processor Error Section. Spec 2.10 also preserve the same encoding as 2.9A. Adjust CPER and GHES handling code for both generic and ARM processors to properly handle UEFI 2.9A and 2.10 encoding.

2025-11-21RAS: Report all ARM processor CPER information to userspaceJason Tian
The ARM processor CPER record was added in UEFI v2.6 and remained unchanged up to v2.10. Yet, the original arm_event trace code added by e9279e83ad1f ("trace, ras: add ARM processor error trace event") is incomplete, as it only traces some fields of UAPI 2.6 table N.16, not exporting any information from tables N.17 to N.29 of the record. This is not enough for the user to be able to figure out what has exactly happened or to take appropriate action. According to the UEFI v2.9 specification chapter N2.4.4, the ARM processor error section includes: - several (ERR_INFO_NUM) ARM processor error information structures (Tables N.17 to N.20); - several (CONTEXT_INFO_NUM) ARM processor context information structures (Tables N.21 to N.29); - several vendor specific error information structures. The size is given by Section Length minus the size of the other fields. In addition, it also exports two fields that are parsed by the GHES driver when firmware reports it, e.g.: - error severity - CPU logical index Report all of these information to userspace via a the ARM tracepoint so that userspace can properly record the error and take decisions related to CPU core isolation according to error severity and other info. The updated ARM trace event now contains the following fields: ====================================== ============================= UEFI field on table N.16 ARM Processor trace fields ====================================== ============================= Validation handled when filling data for affinity MPIDR and running state. ERR_INFO_NUM pei_len CONTEXT_INFO_NUM ctx_len Section Length indirectly reported by pei_len, ctx_len and oem_len Error affinity level affinity MPIDR_EL1 mpidr MIDR_EL1 midr Running State running_state PSCI State psci_state Processor Error Information Structure pei_err - count at pei_len Processor Context ctx_err- count at ctx_len Vendor Specific Error Info oem - count at oem_len ====================================== ============================= It should be noted that decoding of tables N.17 to N.29, if needed, will be handled in userspace. That gives more flexibility, as there won't be any need to flood the kernel with micro-architecture specific error decoding. Also, decoding the other fields require a complex logic, and should be done for each of the several values inside the record field. So, let userspace daemons like rasdaemon decode them, parsing such tables and having vendor-specific micro-architecture-specific decoders.

2025-11-16mm: change ghes code to allow poison of non-struct pfnAnkit Agrawal
Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster. The kernel MM currently handles ECC errors / poison only on memory page backed by struct page. The handling is currently missing for the PFNMAP memory that does not have struct pages. The series adds such support. Implement a new ECC handling for memory without struct pages. Kernel MM expose registration APIs to allow modules that are managing the device to register its device memory region. MM then tracks such regions using interval tree. The mechanism is largely similar to that of ECC on pfn with struct pages. If there is an ECC error on a pfn, all the mapping to it are identified and a SIGBUS is sent to the user space processes owning those mappings. Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN. This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level. A poison to a PFN mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs that will get mirrored into the S2. This can greatly increase the cost of table walks and have a major performance impact. nvgrace-gpu-vfio-pci module maps the device memory to user VA (Qemu) using remap_pfn_range without being added to the kernel [2]. These device memory PFNs are not backed by struct page. So make nvgrace-gpu-vfio-pci module make use of the mechanism to get poison handling support on the device memory. This patch (of 3): The GHES code allows calling of memory_failure() on the PFNs that pass the pfn_valid() check. This contract is broken for the remapped PFNs which fails the check and ghes_do_memory_failure() returns without triggering memory_failure(). Update code to allow memory_failure() call on PFNs failing pfn_valid().

EINJ driver today only allows injection request to go through for two kinds of IORESOURCE_MEM: IORES_DESC_PERSISTENT_MEMORY and IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED. This check prevents user of EINJ to test memory corrupted in many interesting areas: - Legacy persistent memory - Memory claimed to be used by ACPI tables or NV storage - Kernel crash memory and others There is need to test how kernel behaves when something consumes memory errors in these memory regions. For example, if certain ACPI table is corrupted, does kernel crash gracefully to prevent "silent data corruption". For another example, legacy persistent memory, when managed by Device DAX, does support recovering from Machine Check Exception raised by memory failure, hence worth to be tested. However, attempt to inject memory error via EINJ to legacy persistent memory or ACPI owned memory fails with -EINVAL. Allow EINJ to inject at address except it is MMIO. Leave it to the BIOS or firmware to decide what is a legitimate injection target.

2025-07-16ACPI: APEI: handle synchronous exceptions in task workShuai Xue
The memory uncorrected error could be signaled by asynchronous interrupt (specifically, SPI in arm64 platform), e.g. when an error is detected by a background scrubber, or signaled by synchronous exception (specifically, data abort exception in arm64 platform), e.g. when a CPU tries to access a poisoned cache line. Currently, both synchronous and asynchronous errors use memory_failure_queue() to schedule memory_failure() to exectute in a kworker context. As a result, when a user-space process is accessing a poisoned data, a data abort is taken and the memory_failure() is executed in the kworker context, which: - will send wrong si_code by SIGBUS signal in early_kill mode, and - can not kill the user-space in some cases resulting a synchronous error infinite loop Issue 1: send wrong si_code in early_kill mode Since commit a70297d22132 ("ACPI: APEI: set memory failure flags as MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous events")', the flag MF_ACTION_REQUIRED could be used to determine whether a synchronous exception occurs on ARM64 platform. When a synchronous exception is detected, the kernel is expected to terminate the current process which has accessed a poisoned page. This is done by sending a SIGBUS signal with error code BUS_MCEERR_AR, indicating an action-required machine check error on read. However, when kill_proc() is called to terminate the processes who has the poisoned page mapped, it sends the incorrect SIGBUS error code BUS_MCEERR_AO because the context in which it operates is not the one where the error was triggered. To reproduce this problem: #sysctl -w vm.memory_failure_early_kill=1 vm.memory_failure_early_kill = 1 # STEP2: inject an UCE error and consume it to trigger a synchronous error #einj_mem_uc single 0: single vaddr = 0xffffb0d75400 paddr = 4092d55b400 injecting ... triggering ... signal 7 code 5 addr 0xffffb0d75000 page not present Test passed The si_code (code 5) from einj_mem_uc indicates that it is BUS_MCEERR_AO error and it is not factually correct. After this change: # STEP1: enable early kill mode #sysctl -w vm.memory_failure_early_kill=1 vm.memory_failure_early_kill = 1 # STEP2: inject an UCE error and consume it to trigger a synchronous error #einj_mem_uc single 0: single vaddr = 0xffffb0d75400 paddr = 4092d55b400 injecting ... triggering ... signal 7 code 4 addr 0xffffb0d75000 page not present Test passed The si_code (code 4) from einj_mem_uc indicates that it is a BUS_MCEERR_AR error as expected. Issue 2: a synchronous error infinite loop If a user-space process, e.g. devmem, accesses a poisoned page for which the HWPoison flag is set, kill_accessing_process() is called to send SIGBUS to current processs with error info. Since the memory_failure() is executed in the kworker context, it will just do nothing but return EFAULT. So, devmem will access the posioned page and trigger an exception again, resulting in a synchronous error infinite loop. Such exception loop may cause platform firmware to exceed some threshold and reboot when Linux could have recovered from this error. To reproduce this problem: # STEP 1: inject an UCE error, and kernel will set HWPosion flag for related page #einj_mem_uc single 0: single vaddr = 0xffffb0d75400 paddr = 4092d55b400 injecting ... triggering ... signal 7 code 4 addr 0xffffb0d75000 page not present Test passed # STEP 2: access the same page and it will trigger a synchronous error infinite loop devmem 0x4092d55b400 To fix above two issues, queue memory_failure() as a task_work so that it runs in the context of the process that is actually consuming the poisoned data.

2025-07-16ACPI: APEI: send SIGBUS to current task if synchronous memory error not ↵Shuai Xue
recovered If a synchronous error is detected as a result of user-space process triggering a 2-bit uncorrected error, the CPU will take a synchronous error exception such as Synchronous External Abort (SEA) on Arm64. The kernel will queue a memory_failure() work which poisons the related page, unmaps the page, and then sends a SIGBUS to the process, so that a system wide panic can be avoided. However, no memory_failure() work will be queued when abnormal synchronous errors occur. These errors can include situations like invalid PA, unexpected severity, no memory failure config support, invalid GUID section, etc. In such a case, the user-space process will trigger SEA again. This loop can potentially exceed the platform firmware threshold or even trigger a kernel hard lockup, leading to a system reboot. Fix it by performing a force kill if no memory_failure() work is queued for synchronous errors.

2025-06-26ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Fix less than zero comparison on a size_t variableColin Ian King
The check for c < 0 is always false because variable c is a size_t which is not a signed type. Fix this by making c a ssize_t.

2025-06-26ACPI: APEI: EINJ: prevent memory corruption in error_type_set()Dan Carpenter
The "einj_buf" buffer is 32 chars. If "count" is larger than that it results in memory corruption. Cap it at 31 so that we leave the last character as a NUL terminator. By the way, the highest reasonable value for "count" is 24.
