1 | APEI Error INJection | ||
2 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
3 | |||
4 | EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism | ||
5 | It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features. | ||
6 | |||
7 | To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel | ||
8 | configuration: | ||
9 | |||
10 | CONFIG_DEBUG_FS | ||
11 | CONFIG_ACPI_APEI | ||
12 | CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ | ||
13 | |||
14 | The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the | ||
15 | directory apei/einj. The following files are provided. | ||
16 | |||
17 | - available_error_type | ||
18 | Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the | ||
19 | platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type | ||
20 | definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the | ||
21 | right field is error description. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 0x00000001 Processor Correctable | ||
24 | 0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal | ||
25 | 0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal | ||
26 | 0x00000008 Memory Correctable | ||
27 | 0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal | ||
28 | 0x00000020 Memory Uncorrectable fatal | ||

30 | 0x00000080 PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal | ||
31 | 0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal | ||
32 | 0x00000200 Platform Correctable | ||
33 | 0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal | ||
34 | 0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal | ||
35 | |||
36 | The format of file contents are as above, except there are only the | ||
37 | available error type lines. | ||
38 | |||
39 | - error_type | ||
40 | This file is used to set the error type value. The error type value | ||
41 | is defined in "available_error_type" description. | ||
42 | |||
43 | - error_inject | ||
44 | Write any integer to this file to trigger the error | ||
45 | injection. Before this, please specify all necessary error | ||
46 | parameters. | ||
47 | |||
48 | - param1 | ||
49 | This file is used to set the first error parameter value. Effect of | ||
50 | parameter depends on error_type specified. For memory error, this is | ||
51 | physical memory address. | ||
52 | |||
53 | - param2 | ||
54 | This file is used to set the second error parameter value. Effect of | ||
55 | parameter depends on error_type specified. For memory error, this is | ||
56 | physical memory address mask. | ||
57 | |||
58 | For more information about EINJ, please refer to ACPI specification | ||
59 | version 4.0, section 17.5. | ||
