[RFC PATCH 7/8] EDAC, mce_amd: Add a simple tracepoint dumping a decoded string

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Tue Jul 25 2017 - 11:48:38 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

It is a single string which gets dynamically generated when the error
gets decoded. Dump it to userspace through that tracepoint so that
consumers can get the already decoded string and the kernel has the
decoding functionality too, even if there are no userspace consumers.
