2010-09-29ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_dataJin Dongming
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic. So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory which saves entry information of erst_tab. This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree. v2: Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using platform_device_add_data() Signed-off-by: Jin Dongming <jin.dongming@np.css.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2010-08-08ACPI, APEI, Manage GHES as platform devicesHuang Ying
Register GHES during HEST initialization as platform devices. And make GHES driver into platform device driver. So that the GHES driver module can be loaded automatically when there are GHES available.

2010-08-08ACPI, APEI, Rename CPER and GHES severity constantsHuang Ying
The abbreviation of severity should be SEV instead of SER, so the CPER severity constants are renamed accordingly. GHES severity constants are renamed in the same way too.

2010-05-19ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source memory error supportHuang Ying
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. Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the threshold. On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified GHES is implemented firstly.
