 Machine check
 
-   mce=off disable machine check
-   mce=bootlog Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
-               Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus ones.
-               If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
-               to make sure you log even machine check events that result
-               in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
+   Please see Documentation/x86/x86_64/machinecheck for sysfs runtime tunables.

+   mce=off
+                Disable machine check
+   mce=no_cmci
+                Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
+                Intel processor supports.  Usually this disablement is
+                not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
+                is misbehaving.
+                Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
+                due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
+                error logs.
+   mce=dont_log_ce
+                Don't make logs for corrected errors.  All events reported
+                as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
+                This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
+                of corrected errors.
+   mce=ignore_ce
+                Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
+                and CMCI.  All events reported as corrected are not cleared
+                by OS and remained in its error banks.
+                Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
+                there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
+                (e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
+                with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
+                then this option will be a help.
+   mce=bootlog
+                Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
+                Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus ones.
+                If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
+                to make sure you log even machine check events that result
+                in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
    mce=nobootlog
                 Disable boot machine check logging.
-   mce=tolerancelevel (number)
+   mce=tolerancelevel[,monarchtimeout] (number,number)
+                tolerance levels:
                 0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
                 1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
                 2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
                 3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
                 Default is 1
                 Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
+                monarchtimeout:
+                Sets the time in us to wait for other CPUs on machine checks. 0
+                to disable.
 
    nomce (for compatibility with i386): same as mce=off
