[PATCH v2 0/2] vmcoreinfo: Expose hardware error recovery statistics via sysfs

[Breno Leitao]

The kernel already tracks recoverable hardware errors (CPU, memory, PCI,
CXL, etc.) in the hwerr_data array for vmcoreinfo crash dump analysis.
However, this data is only accessible after a crash.

This series adds a sysfs directory at /sys/kernel/hwerr_recovery_stats/ to
expose these statistics at runtime, allowing monitoring tools to track
hardware health without requiring a kernel crash.

The directory contains one file per error subsystem:
  /sys/kernel/hwerr_recovery_stats/{cpu, memory, pci, cxl, others}

Each file contains a single integer representing the error count.

This is useful for:
- Proactive detection of failing hardware components
- Time-series tracking of recoverable errors
- System health monitoring in cloud environments
