Hi all,
this is the second version of a first attempt at reorganizing and concentrating x86 RAS features under arch/x86/. The idea is to put them close to the MCA code so that code reuse and extending functionality can be done much more easily.
This deals only with AMD RAS features but I expect that we can put all into one unified menu entry in Kconfig after we've agreed on the structure. Tony, let me know what from below makes sense or not - once we've agreed on the hierarchy, we should move the Intel pieces there too. Right now with this patchset we have:
[*] Machine Check / overheating reporting [ ] Intel MCE features AMD RAS features ---> [*] Error Thresholding (NEW) <*> Decode MCEs in human-readable form (NEW) < > Inject MCEs (NEW)
and what I actually would like to see is something like
[ ] Reliability, Availability, Serviceability [ ] Machine Check Architecture [ ] Intel-specific features [ ] CMCI / overheating reporting [ ] MCE decoding [ ] MCE injection [ ] AMD-specific features [ ] Error thresholding [ ] MCE decoding [ ] MCE injection [ ] ...
and where further features will be added. How does that sound?
Patches 5-9 add the hw MCE injection for AMD which is contingent on the MCE injection module.
As always, all comments are welcome.
Thanks.
