[PATCH 2/2] mm/memory-failure: remove the selection of RAS

From: Xie Yuanbin
Date: Sun Nov 02 2025 - 22:38:40 EST


The commit 97f0b13452198290799f ("tracing: add trace event for
memory-failure") introduces the selection of RAS in memory-failure.
This commit is just a tracing feature; in reality, there is no dependency
between memory-failure and RAS. RAS increases the size of the bzImage
image by 8k, which is very valuable for embedded devices.

Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires
special hardware support and typically ECC memory.
