APEI Error INJection
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism
|
||||
It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features.
|
||||
|
||||
To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel
|
||||
configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
|
||||
CONFIG_ACPI_APEI
|
||||
CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ
|
||||
|
||||
The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the
|
||||
directory apei/einj. The following files are provided.
|
||||
|
||||
- available_error_type
|
||||
Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the
|
||||
platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type
|
||||
definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the
|
||||
right field is error description.
|
||||
|
||||
0x00000001 Processor Correctable
|
||||
0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
||||
0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal
|
||||
0x00000008 Memory Correctable
|
||||
0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
||||
0x00000020 Memory Uncorrectable fatal
|
||||
0x00000040 PCI Express Correctable
|
||||
0x00000080 PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal
|
||||
0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
||||
0x00000200 Platform Correctable
|
||||
0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
||||
0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal
|
||||
|
||||
The format of file contents are as above, except there are only the
|
||||
available error type lines.
|
||||
|
||||
- error_type
|
||||
This file is used to set the error type value. The error type value
|
||||
is defined in "available_error_type" description.
|
||||
|
||||
- error_inject
|
||||
Write any integer to this file to trigger the error
|
||||
injection. Before this, please specify all necessary error
|
||||
parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about EINJ, please refer to ACPI specification
|
||||
version 4.0, section 17.5.
