Subject[RFC PATCH 0/14] amd64_edac: marry mcheck to amd64 edac
Date
Hi all,

this is the first version of the attempt to forward MCE information to
the amd64 EDAC module for further decoding. When the MCE handler gets
invoked and the EDAC module is loaded, here's how a decoded MCE looks
like:

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

<EOE>

Clearly, the "Run through mcelog... " line is redundant now :) since
there's no need for userspace decoding anymore and the original EDAC
functionality (polling workqueue) is still preserved. The code currently
uses EDAC to decode DRAM ECC errors but this could clearly be extended
to handle all valid addresses acquired from MCi_ADDR registers.

Comments and further suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,
Boris.
