Hello all, Description of problem: The existing Common Platform Error Record (CPER) memory error format can't fully support 32GiB and 64GiB DIMMs.
The UEFI spec has changed to use previously reserved bits in the record provide that support. Kernel processing of CPER memory error records will need to change to reflect the new spec. N.2.5 Memory Error Section Bits <18:21> was set as 'reserved', and now is used as 'extended'. http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/2_4_Errata_A.pdf Matt Fleming mentioned to me that Tony Luck recently fixed a compatibility issue with Memory Error Record structure. I ask, how do we want to handle the processing of a CPER memory error record with support for larger DIMMs? -Nigel From: Nigel Croxon <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:21:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] CPER: support 32GiB 64GiB DIMMs Description of problem: The existing Common Platform Error Record (CPER) memory error format can't fully support 32GiB and 64GiB DIMMs. The UEFI spec has changed to use previously reserved bits in the record provide that support.
