Subject: [PATCH] bluesmoke/MCE support optional
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 10:01:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C7E465A.4B3F4D9@yahoo.com> (raw)
Meant to do this a while ago. Could do it via adding "nosmoke.c" :-)
(similar to fs/noquot.c) instead of #ifdef in bluesmoke.c, if somebody
had a strong preference one way or the other.
Patch is against 2.4.18, complete with Aunt Tillie(tm) help text, etc.
Paul.

+Machine Check Exception
+CONFIG_X86_MCE
+ Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
+ kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
+ The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
+ ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
+ Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
+ flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
+ have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - for these and
+ old non-MCE processors (386, 486), say N. Otherwise say Y.
