[PATCH v2 0/6] CPER: Add Memory Error Section 2 support
From: Pierre Gondois
Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 16:43:06 EST
The support is mostly duplicated from Memory Error Section handling.
Other than differences coming from the content of Memory Error
Section 1 and 2, differences in the support are:
- v2 do not rely on a compact "struct cper_mem_err_compact" struct.
This structure was used to support older versions of the Memory
Error Section (1). This is not needed for the new structure.
- The compact version is also used by the tracing framework.
To avoid relying and propagating a non-standard record format,
through trace event (cf. extlog_mem event) the new trace event
prints each field individually.
The last patch of the serie was only build-tested due to the
absence of relevant hardware. apei_mce_report_mem_error() and
arch_apei_report_mem_error() implementations were also removed since
last version.
It will also require a proper handling from the rasdaemon. Applying
this last patch without rasdaemon support will silent the reports of
Memory Error Section 2 error, cf. ras_userspace_consumers() check.
