acpi/apei/einj: Add extensions to EINJ from rev 5.0 of acpi spec

ACPI 5.0 provides extensions to the EINJ mechanism to specify the
target for the error injection - by APICID for cpu related errors,
by address for memory related errors, and by segment/bus/device/function
for PCIe related errors. Also extensions for vendor specific error
injections.

parameter depends on error_type specified.
BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
to control where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an
extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or
boot command line einj.param_extension=1). This allows the address
and mask for memory injections to be specified by the param1 and
param2 files in apei/einj.
BIOS versions using the ACPI 5.0 specification have more control over
the target of the injection. For processor related errors (type 0x1,
0x2 and 0x4) the APICID of the target should be provided using the
param1 file in apei/einj. For memory errors (type 0x8, 0x10 and 0x20)
the address is set using param1 with a mask in param2 (0x0 is equivalent
to all ones). For PCI express errors (type 0x40, 0x80 and 0x100) the
segment, bus, device and function are specified using param1:
31 24 23 16 15 11 10 8 7 0
+-------------------------------------------------+
| segment | bus | device | function | reserved |
+-------------------------------------------------+
An ACPI 5.0 BIOS may also allow vendor specific errors to be injected.
In this case a file named vendor will contain identifying information
from the BIOS that hopefully will allow an application wishing to use
the vendor specific extension to tell that they are running on a BIOS
that supports it. All vendor extensions have the 0x80000000 bit set in
error_type. A file vendor_flags controls the interpretation of param1
and param2 (1 = PROCESSOR, 2 = MEMORY, 4 = PCI). See your BIOS vendor
documentation for details (and expect changes to this API if vendors
creativity in using this feature expands beyond our expectations).
Example:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj
# cat available_error_type # See which errors can be injected
0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
0x00000008 Memory Correctable
0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
# echo 0x12345000 > param1 # Set memory address for injection
# echo 0xfffffffffffff000 > param2 # Mask - anywhere in this page
# echo 0x8 > error_type # Choose correctable memory error
# echo 1 > error_inject # Inject now
Injecting parameter support is a BIOS version specific extension, that
is, it only works on some BIOS version. If you want to use it, please
make sure your BIOS version has the proper support and specify
"param_extension=y" in module parameter.
