Currently external aborts are unsupported by the guest abort
handling. Add handling for SEAs so that the host kernel reports
SEAs which occur in the guest kernel.
When an SEA occurs in the guest kernel, the guest exits and is
routed to kvm_handle_guest_abort(). Prior to this patch, a print
ARM APEI extension proposal added SEA (Synchronous External Abort)
notification type for ARMv8.
Add a new GHES error source handling function for SEA. If an error
source's notification type is SEA, then this function can be registered
into the SEA exception handler. That way GHES will parse and
UEFI spec allows for non-standard section in Common Platform Error
Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of UEFI version 2.5.
Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match with
any section type that the kernel knows how to parse, trace event
is not generated for such section. And
Currently there are trace events for the various RAS
errors with the exception of ARM processor type errors.
Add a new trace event for such errors so that the user

Even if an error status block's severity is fatal, the kernel does not
honor the severity level and panic.
With the firmware first model, the platform could inform the OS about a
fatal hardware error through the non-NMI GHES notification
The ACPI 6.1 spec added a timestamp to the HEST generic data
structure. Print the timestamp out when printing out the error

SEA exceptions are often caused by an uncorrected hardware
error, and are handled when data abort and instruction abort
exception classes have specific values for their Fault Status
Code.
When SEA occurs, before killing the process, report the error
in the kernel logs.

The ACPI 6.1 spec adds a new version of the generic data structure.

Add support for ARM Common Platform Error Record (CPER).
UEFI 2.6 specification adds support for ARM specific
processor error information to be reported as part of the
CPER records. This provides more detail on for processor error logs.

A RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) controller
may be a separate processor running in parallel with OS
execution, and may generate error records for consumption by
the OS. If the RAS controller produces multiple error records,
then they may be overwritten before the OS has consumed
When a memory error, CPU error, PCIe error, or other type of hardware error
that's covered by RAS occurs, firmware should populate the shared GHES memory
location with the proper GHES structures to notify the OS of the error.
For example, platforms that implement firmware first handling may
Fix potential races in kvm_psci_vcpu_on() by taking the kvm->lock
mutex. In general, it's a bad idea to allow more than one PSCI_CPU_ON

that may arise is that one PSCI_CPU_ON could be resetting the target

This patch is another approach to fixing what the last two patches
in the "KVM: arm/arm64: race fixes and vcpu requests" series were
