5 | APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset) | ||
6 | to the operating system. This improves NMI handling | ||
7 | especially. In addition it supports error serialization and | ||
8 | error injection. | ||

14 | help | ||
15 | Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report | ||
16 | platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It | ||
17 | works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware | ||
18 | errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to | ||
19 | Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware | ||
20 | error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked | ||
21 | by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error | ||
22 | information for Linux. | ||

28 | EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is | ||
29 | mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of | ||
30 | APEI and some other RAS features. | ||
