Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86/mce: Honour bios-set CMCI threshold
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2012 15:52:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120905102206.9423.28389.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120905102049.9423.6413.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
The ACPI spec doesn't provide for a way for the bios to pass down
recommended thresholds to the OS on a _per-bank_ basis. This patch adds
a new boot option, which if passed, allows bios to initialize the CMCI
threshold. In such a case, we simply skip programming any threshold
value.
As fail-safe, we initialize threshold to 1 if some banks have not been
initialized by the bios and warn the user.
