Hi,

[..]

>

> /sys/kernel/events/mce/*

have we considered the per-cpu granularity of MCEs here and if yes, how
to represent that?

Something like

/sys/kernel/events/mce/cpus/cpuX/..

or similar maybe. One use case I can think of right now is being able to
inject an MCE on a certain cpu...

Thanks.
