[PATCH V3 4/4] acpi, apei: use EFI memmap to map GHES memory

From: Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang
Date: Thu Jun 11 2015 - 14:27:00 EST


From: "Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang" <zjzhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

With ACPI APEI firmware first handling, generic hardware error
record is updated by firmware in GHES memory region. When firmware
updated GHES memory region with uncached access attribute, Linux
reads stale data from cache.

GHES memory region should be mapped with cache attributes
according to EFI memory map when applicable. On such system, if
firmware updates RAM directly without going through cache,
EFI memory map has GHES memory region defined as uncached;
If firmware updates cache, EFI memory map has GHES memory region
defined as cached.

On EFI system, if GHES memory region has EFI_MEMORY_UC attribute
defined, map the page with arch defined UC page protection type.
