Subject: [PATCH] [25/28] x86: MCE: Extend struct mce user interface with more information.
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2009 17:08:08 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090407150808.9AEDC1D046D@basil.firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090407507.636692542@firstfloor.org>


Experience has shown that struct mce which is used to pass an machine check 
to the user space daemon currently a few limitations.  Also some data
which is useful to print at panic level is also missing.

This patch addresses most of them. The same information is also
printed out together with mce panic.

struct mce can be painlessly extended in a compatible way, the mcelog user space 
code just ignores additional fields with a warning.

- It doesn't provide a wall time timestamp. There have been a few
complaints about that. Fix that by adding a 64bit time_t
- It doesn't provide the exact CPU identification. This makes
it awkward for mcelog to decode the event correctly, especially
when there are variations in the supported MCE codes on different
CPU models or when mcelog is running on a different host after a panic.  
Previously the administrator had to specify the correct CPU 
when mcelog ran on a different host, but with the more variation
in machine checks now it's better to auto detect that.
It's also useful for more detailed analysis of CPU events.
Pass CPUID 1.EAX and the cpu vendor (as encoded in processor.h) instead.
- Socket ID and initial APIC ID are useful to report because they
allow to identify the failing CPU in some (not all) cases.
This is also especially useful for the panic situation.
This addresses one of the complaints from Thomas Gleixner earlier.
- The MCG capabilities MSR needs to be reported for some advanced 
error processing in mcelog
