Yazen Ghannam 3f3174996b RAS: Introduce AMD Address Translation Library
AMD Zen-based systems report memory errors through Machine Check banks
representing Unified Memory Controllers (UMCs). The address value
reported for DRAM ECC errors is a "normalized address" that is relative
to the UMC. This normalized address must be converted to a system
physical address to be usable by the OS.

Support for this address translation was introduced to the MCA subsystem
with Zen1 systems. The code was later moved to the AMD64 EDAC module,
since this was the only user of the code at the time.

However, there are uses for this translation outside of EDAC. The system
physical address can be used in MCA for preemptive page offlining as done
in some MCA notifier functions. Also, this translation is needed as the
basis of similar functionality needed for some CXL configurations on AMD
systems.

Introduce a common address translation library that can be used for
multiple subsystems including MCA, EDAC, and CXL.

Include support for UMC normalized to system physical address
translation for current CPU systems.

The Data Fabric Indirect register access offsets and one of the register
fields were changed. Default to the current offsets and register field
definition. And fallback to the older values if running on a "legacy"
system.

Provide built-in code to facilitate the loading and unloading of the
library module without affecting other modules or built-in code.

bool "Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) features"
help
Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) is a computer
hardware engineering term. Computers designed with higher levels
of RAS have a multitude of features that protect data integrity
and help them stay available for long periods of time without
failure.
Reliability can be defined as the probability that the system will
produce correct outputs up to some given time. Reliability is
enhanced by features that help to avoid, detect and repair hardware
faults.
Availability is the probability a system is operational at a given
time, i.e. the amount of time a device is actually operating as the
percentage of total time it should be operating.
Serviceability or maintainability is the simplicity and speed with
which a system can be repaired or maintained; if the time to repair
a failed system increases, then availability will decrease.
Note that Reliability and Availability are distinct concepts:
Reliability is a measure of the ability of a system to function
correctly, including avoiding data corruption, whereas Availability
measures how often it is available for use, even though it may not
be functioning correctly. For example, a server may run forever and
so have ideal availability, but may be unreliable, with frequent
data corruption.
