From f59c55d04b43bd72df8efa692dd07224fe94d1ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Ying Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 10:22:30 +0800 Subject: ACPI, APEI, Add APEI generic error status printing support In APEI, Hardware error information reported by firmware to Linux kernel is in the data structure of APEI generic error status (struct acpi_hes_generic_status). While now printk is used by Linux kernel to report hardware error information to user space. So, this patch adds printing support for the data structure, so that the corresponding hardware error information can be reported to user space via printk. PCIe AER information printing is not implemented yet. Will refactor the original PCIe AER information printing code to avoid code duplicating. The output format is as follow: := APEI generic hardware error status severity: , section: , severity: , flags:
fru_id: fru_text: section_type:
* := recoverable | fatal | corrected | info
# := [primary][, containment warning][, reset][, threshold exceeded]\ [, resource not accessible][, latent error]
