config ACPI_APEI bool "ACPI Platform Error Interface (APEI)" depends on X86 help APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error serialization and error injection. config ACPI_APEI_GHES tristate "APEI Generic Hardware Error Source" depends on ACPI_APEI && X86 select ACPI_HED help Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. config ACPI_APEI_EINJ tristate "APEI Error INJection (EINJ)" depends on ACPI_APEI && DEBUG_FS help EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of APEI and some other RAS features. config ACPI_APEI_ERST_DEBUG tristate "APEI Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) Debug Support" depends on ACPI_APEI help ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error information to and from a persistent store. Enable this if you want to debugging and testing the ERST kernel support and firmware implementation. |
