[PATCH v2 1/2] acpi, apei: add Boot Error Record Table (BERT) support

From: fu . wei
Date: Tue Aug 18 2015 - 12:45:39 EST


From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

Under normal circumstances, when a hardware error occurs, kernel will
be notified via NMI, MCE or some other method, then kernel will
process the error condition, report it, and recover it if possible.
But sometime, the situation is so bad, so that firmware may choose to
reset directly without notifying Linux kernel.

Linux kernel can use the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) to get the
un-notified hardware errors that occurred in a previous boot. In this
patch, the error information is reported via printk.

For more information about BERT, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 6.0, section 18.3.1:
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf

[Tony: Applied some cleanups suggested by Fu Wei]
[Fu Wei: delete EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bert_disable), and do some cleanups]
