[PATCH] aerdrv: Enable AER completion notice

2012-07-19 Thread Lance Ortiz
When an AER event occurs not all of the print notifications are at the same log level. This can cause an incomplete AER log from the users point of view when monitoring the console output. The completion message in do_recovery() is currently set to KERN_DEBUG (log level 7) while the starting

[PATCH 1/1 v2] Honor state disabling in the cpuidle ladder governor

2012-07-19 Thread Carsten Emde
There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While the ladder governor is always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ. A particular C state can be disabled by writing to the sysfs file

[PATCH 2/2] x86/mce: Add quirk for instruction recovery on Sandy Bridge processors

2012-07-19 Thread Tony Luck
Sandy Bridge processors follow the SDM (Vol 3B, Table 15-20) and set both the RIPV and EIPV bits in the MCG_STATUS register to zero for machine checks during instruction fetch. This is more than a little counter-intuitive and means that Linux cannot recover from these errors. Rather than insert

[PATCH 0/2] Fix machine check recovery for instruction fault on Sandy Bridge

2012-07-19 Thread Tony Luck
This patch series adds a workaround for some strange asymmetry between how machine checks are reported for data and instruction fetches. For instruction fetch error the processor does not set the EIPV bit in the MCG_STATUS register on the affected processor, leading us to believe that the cs/ip
