RAS:Intel MCA-CMCI,你了解吗?

开发 项目管理
CMCI是MCA的一个增强特性,主要用于将硬件CE、UCNA等类型故障通过中断方式上报到软件,软件收到中断后,执行中断处理函数intel_threshold_interrupt()采取irq mode或poll mode记录错误信息到/dev/mcelog,用户态可以通过/dev/mcelog获取硬件故障信息。

Corrected machine-check error interrupt (CMCI)是MCA的增强特性,它提供了一种threshold-based的错误上报方式。这种模式下,软件可以配置硬件corrected MC errors的阈值,硬件发生CE(Corrected Error)次数达到阈值后,会产生一个中断通知到软件处理。

值得一提的是,CMCI是随MCA加入的特性,最开始只能通过软件轮询方式获取CE信息。CMCI中断通知方式的优点是每个CE都会经过IRQ Handle处理,不会丢失任一CE;而轮询方式可能因为轮询频率低、存储空间有限等原因,导致丢失CE。但是并不是说CMCI最优,CMCI的缺点是大量CE会产生中断风暴,影响机器的性能。不幸的是在云服务器场景,CE风暴是比较常见的,那么当下Intel服务器是如何解决这个问题的呢?下面会讲到。

CMCI机制

CMCI默认是关闭的,软件需要通过配置IA32_MCG_CAP[10] = 1打开。

软件通过IA32_MCi_CTL2 MSR来控制对应Bank使能/关闭CMCI功能。

通过IA32_MCi_CTL2 Bit 14:0设置阈值,如果设置非0,则使用配置的阈值;如果CMCI不支持,则全0;

CMCI机制如下图

硬件通过比较IA32_MCi_CTL2 Bit 14:0和IA32_MCi_STATUS Bit 52:38,如果数值相等,那么overflow event发送到APIC的CMCI LVT entry。如果MC error涉及多个processors,那么CMCI中断会同时发送到这些processors,比如2个cpu共享的cache发生CE,那么这两个cpu都会收到CMCI。

CMCI初始化

以Linux v6.3分支为例,内核使能CMCI代码

C++ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/intel.c void intel_init_cmci(void) { int banks;

if (!cmci_supported(&banks))
            return;

    mce_threshold_vector = intel_threshold_interrupt;
    cmci_discover(banks);
    /*
     * For CPU #0 this runs with still disabled APIC, but that's
     * ok because only the vector is set up. We still do another
     * check for the banks later for CPU #0 just to make sure
     * to not miss any events.
     */
    apic_write(APIC_LVTCMCI, THRESHOLD_APIC_VECTOR|APIC_DM_FIXED);
    cmci_recheck();
    }

1.cmci_supported()函数主要事项包括

•根据内核启动参数"mce=no_cmci,ignore_ce"判断是否打开cmci和ce上报功能

•检查硬件是否支持cmci

•通过MCG_CMCI_P bit判断硬件是否使能cmci功能

2.mce_threshold_vector = intel_threshold_interrupt; 声明cmci的中断处理函数为intel_threshold_interrupt();

3.cmci_discover()函数主要完成

•遍历所有banks,通过配置IA32_MCi_CTL2寄存器使能所有bank的cmci功能;

C++ rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2(i), val); ...

val |= MCI_CTL2_CMCI_EN;
            wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2(i), val);
            rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MCx_CTL2(i), val);

•设置cmci threshold值,代码如下

C++ #define CMCI_THRESHOLD 1

if (!mca_cfg.bios_cmci_threshold) {
                    val &= ~MCI_CTL2_CMCI_THRESHOLD_MASK;
                    val |= CMCI_THRESHOLD;
            } else if (!(val & MCI_CTL2_CMCI_THRESHOLD_MASK)) {
                    /*
                     * If bios_cmci_threshold boot option was specified
                     * but the threshold is zero, we'll try to initialize
                     * it to 1.
                     */
                    bios_zero_thresh = 1;
                    val |= CMCI_THRESHOLD;
            }

如果用户未通过启动参数"mce=bios_cmci_threshold"配置值,则val = CMCI_THRESHOLD,为1;

如果启动参数"mce=bios_cmci_threshold"配置,那么表示bios已配置threshold值,即val & MCI_CTL2_CMCI_THRESHOLD_MASK不为0,跳过else if判断,采用bios配置值;如果bios未配置值,val & MCI_CTL2_CMCI_THRESHOLD_MASK为0,那么驱动初始化threshold为1。

4.cmci_recheck()

cmci_recheck函数通过调用machine_check_poll(),检查CPU #0是否有遗漏的CE&UCE events。

CMCI处理

cmci中断处理函数为intel_threshold_interrupt(),定义在arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/intel.c

C++
/*
 * The interrupt handler. This is called on every event.
 * Just call the poller directly to log any events.
 * This could in theory increase the threshold under high load,
 * but doesn't for now.
 */
static void intel_threshold_interrupt(void)
{
        if (cmci_storm_detect())
                return;

        machine_check_poll(MCP_TIMESTAMP, this_cpu_ptr(&mce_banks_owned));
}machine_check_poll(MCP_TIMESTAMP, this_cpu_ptr(&mce_banks_owned));

1.cmci_storm_detect()函数主要是对cmci storm的处理,代码如下

C++ static bool cmci_storm_detect(void) { unsigned int cnt = __this_cpu_read(cmci_storm_cnt); unsigned long ts = __this_cpu_read(cmci_time_stamp); unsigned long now = jiffies; int r;

if (__this_cpu_read(cmci_storm_state) != CMCI_STORM_NONE)
            return true;

    if (time_before_eq(now, ts + CMCI_STORM_INTERVAL)) {
            cnt++;
    } else {
            cnt = 1;
            __this_cpu_write(cmci_time_stamp, now);
    }
    __this_cpu_write(cmci_storm_cnt, cnt);

    if (cnt <= CMCI_STORM_THRESHOLD)
            return false;

    cmci_toggle_interrupt_mode(false);
    __this_cpu_write(cmci_storm_state, CMCI_STORM_ACTIVE);
    r = atomic_add_return(1, &cmci_storm_on_cpus);
    mce_timer_kick(CMCI_STORM_INTERVAL);
    this_cpu_write(cmci_backoff_cnt, INITIAL_CHECK_INTERVAL);

    if (r == 1)
            pr_notice("CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode\n");
    return true;
    }

该函数通过jiffies,判断固定时间内发生的cmci次数是否大于CMCI_STORM_THRESHOLD(15),如果否则return,反之说明发生cmci storm,则执行cmci_toggle_interrupt_mode()关闭cmci功能, 切换为poll mode,通过轮询方式获取event;

2.非cmci storm情况下,通过machine_check_poll(MCP_TIMESTAMP, this_cpu_ptr(&mce_banks_owned))函数获取并记录故障信息

参数1定义如下,MCP_TIMESTAMP表示会记录当前TSC


C++
enum mcp_flags {
        MCP_TIMESTAMP   = BIT(0),       /* log time stamp */
        MCP_UC          = BIT(1),       /* log uncorrected errors */
        MCP_DONTLOG     = BIT(2),       /* only clear, don't log */
};

machine_check_poll函数主要功能是通过读取IA32_MCG_STATUS、IA32_MCi_STATUS寄存器信息和CPU的ip、cs等相关信息,然后故障分类,将CE event或其他故障类型event记录到/dev/mcelog。用户可以通过读取/dev/mcelog获取错误记录。

执行流程如下,过程说明在代码注释中

C++
bool machine_check_poll(enum mcp_flags flags, mce_banks_t *b)
{
        if (flags & MCP_TIMESTAMP)
                m.tsc = rdtsc(); // 记录当前TSC

/*CE Error记录*/
                /* If this entry is not valid, ignore it */
                if (!(m.status & MCI_STATUS_VAL))
                        continue;

                /*
                 * If we are logging everything (at CPU online) or this
                 * is a corrected error, then we must log it.
                 */
                if ((flags & MCP_UC) || !(m.status & MCI_STATUS_UC))
                        goto log_it;
/*UCNA Error记录*/
                /*
                 * Log UCNA (SDM: 15.6.3 "UCR Error Classification")
                 * UC == 1 && PCC == 0 && S == 0
                 */
                if (!(m.status & MCI_STATUS_PCC) && !(m.status & MCI_STATUS_S))
                        goto log_it;
/*通过mce_log记录故障信息*/
log_it:         
                /*
                 * Don't get the IP here because it's unlikely to
                 * have anything to do with the actual error location.
                 */
                if (!(flags & MCP_DONTLOG) && !mca_cfg.dont_log_ce)
                        mce_log(&m);
                else if (mce_usable_address(&m)) {
                        /*
                         * Although we skipped logging this, we still want
                         * to take action. Add to the pool so the registered
                         * notifiers will see it.
                         */
                        if (!mce_gen_pool_add(&m))
                                mce_schedule_work();
                }
        }

总结一下,CMCI是MCA的一个增强特性,主要用于将硬件CE、UCNA等类型故障通过中断方式上报到软件,软件收到中断后,执行中断处理函数intel_threshold_interrupt()采取irq mode或poll mode记录错误信息到/dev/mcelog,用户态可以通过/dev/mcelog获取硬件故障信息。
