    Subject[PATCH EDAC v26 00/66] EDAC patches for v3.5
    Date
    This is a long series of patches to fix the EDAC subsystem,
    and is being under discussions since Jan.

    The current EDAC subsystem has several serious issues with regards
    to all Intel Xeon and i3/i5/i7 processors. The EDAC subsystem used
    to assume that all DIMM memory sticks have the same topology as the
    initial PC designs, e. g:

    - the DRAM chips inside the DIMM slots are directly
    accessible by the memory controller;

    - there's no Advanced Memory Bufffer chips between DIMMs
    and the memory controller;

    - if the memory controller has more than one channel, all
    channels are filled with the same memory type/size;

    Due to that, all Intel drivers for hardware newer than 2005 (and
    some older Intel hardware) have to lie to the EDAC core, providing
    fake memory location information.

    Also, the memory errors are reported via snprintk/printk's. As the
    printk ABI is not preserved among Kernel versions, applications can't
    (and don't) rely on it.

    So, userspace applications rely, instead, on error counter sysfs
    nodes, with don't allow them to do decay and burst detection, nor
    to correlate errors among the same address range (with might help
    userspace to distinguish between a real error from a temporary
    interference.

    -

    v.26:

    - "RAS: Add a tracepoint for reporting memory..." patch was re-written
    in order to send to userspace ABI integer fields as such;
    - added a fixup atch from Dan.
    - The other patches weren't touched on this version.
