PSL traces reset after PERST for debug AFU image

[bugproxy]

== Comment: #0 - Vaibhav Jain - 2018-04-09 05:20:18 ==
---Problem Description---
Presently the Trace Data on the PSL is lost when it encounters a PERST signal. This is usually a major inconvenience during EEH debugging as PSL traces are needed to investigate the EEH cause. To fix this we enable the NORST bit by default for debug afu images to prevent reset of AFU trace-data on a PCI link drop. For production AFU images this bit is always ignored and PSL gets reconfigured anyways thereby resetting the trace data. So setting this bit for non-debug images doesn't have any impact.

Fix for this issue was merged to mainline kernel via commit:

03ebb419b896 cxl: Enable NORST bit in PSL_DEBUG register for PSL9

---Additional Hardware Info---
Flash GT+ adapter with 180323P1 Image

Machine Type = Boston-LC

---Steps to Reproduce---
 1. Enable traces on the card with psl_trace_dump tool.
2. Inject an EEH.
3. Try to dump the traces from PSL via psl_trace_dump.

---uname output---

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

System Dump Info:
  The system is not configured to capture a system dump.

Stack trace output:

Oops output:

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
