This patch adds debugging/testing support to ERST. A misc device is implemented to export raw ERST read/write/clear etc operations to user space. With this patch, we can add ERST testing support to linuxfirmwarekit ISO (linuxfirmwarekit.org) to verify the kernel support and the firmware implementation.

APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset)
|
|
to the operating system. This improves NMI handling
|
|
especially. In addition it supports error serialization and
|
|
error injection.

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report
|
|
platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It
|
|
works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware
|
|
errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to
|
|
Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware
|
|
error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked
|
|
by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
|
|
information for Linux.

EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is
|
|
mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of
|
|
APEI and some other RAS features.

ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware
|
|
error infomation to and from a persistent store. Enable this
|
|
if you want to debugging and testing the ERST kernel support
|
|
and firmware implementation.
