EDAC is maintained and written by:
|
||||
|
||||
Doug Thompson, Dave Jiang, Dave Peterson et al,
|
||||

|

|
||||
"bluesmoke" was the name for this device driver when it was "out-of-tree"
|
||||
and maintained at sourceforge.net. When it was pushed into 2.6.16 for the
|
||||
first time, it was renamed to 'EDAC'.
|
||||
|
||||
The bluesmoke project at sourceforge.net is now utilized as a 'staging area'
|
||||
for EDAC development, before it is sent upstream to kernel.org
|
||||
|
||||
At the bluesmoke/EDAC project site is a series of quilt patches against
|
||||
recent kernels, stored in a SVN repository. For easier downloading, there
|
||||
is also a tarball snapshot available.
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
EDAC PURPOSE
|
||||
|
||||
The 'edac' kernel module goal is to detect and report errors that occur
|
||||
within the computer system running under linux.
|
||||
|
||||
MEMORY
|
||||
|
||||
In the initial release, memory Correctable Errors (CE) and Uncorrectable
|
||||
Errors (UE) are the primary errors being harvested. These types of errors
|
||||
are harvested by the 'edac_mc' class of device.
|
||||
|
||||
Detecting CE events, then harvesting those events and reporting them,
|
||||
CAN be a predictor of future UE events. With CE events, the system can
|
||||
continue to operate, but with less safety. Preventive maintenance and
|
||||
proactive part replacement of memory DIMMs exhibiting CEs can reduce
|
||||
the likelihood of the dreaded UE events and system 'panics'.
|
||||
|
||||
NON-MEMORY
|
||||
|
||||
A new feature for EDAC, the edac_device class of device, was added in
|
||||
the 2.6.23 version of the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
This new device type allows for non-memory type of ECC hardware detectors
|
||||
to have their states harvested and presented to userspace via the sysfs
|
||||
interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Some architectures have ECC detectors for L1, L2 and L3 caches, along with DMA
|
||||
engines, fabric switches, main data path switches, interconnections,
|
||||
and various other hardware data paths. If the hardware reports it, then
|
||||
a edac_device device probably can be constructed to harvest and present
|
||||
that to userspace.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PCI BUS SCANNING
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, PCI Bus Parity and SERR Errors are scanned for on PCI devices
|
||||
in order to determine if errors are occurring on data transfers.
|
||||
|
||||
The presence of PCI Parity errors must be examined with a grain of salt.
|
||||
There are several add-in adapters that do NOT follow the PCI specification
|
||||
with regards to Parity generation and reporting. The specification says
|
||||
the vendor should tie the parity status bits to 0 if they do not intend
|
||||
to generate parity. Some vendors do not do this, and thus the parity bit
|
||||
can "float" giving false positives.
|
||||
|
||||
In the kernel there is a PCI device attribute located in sysfs that is
|
||||
checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
|
||||
PCI parity/error scanning is skipped for that device. The attribute
|
||||
is:
|
||||
|
||||
broken_parity_status
|
||||
|
||||
as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directories for
|
||||
PCI devices.
|
||||
|
||||
FUTURE HARDWARE SCANNING
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC will have future error detectors that will be integrated with
|
||||
EDAC or added to it, in the following list:
|
||||
|
||||
MCE Machine Check Exception
|
||||
MCA Machine Check Architecture
|
||||
NMI NMI notification of ECC errors
|
||||
MSRs Machine Specific Register error cases
|
||||
and other mechanisms.
|
||||
|
||||
These errors are usually bus errors, ECC errors, thermal throttling
|
||||
and the like.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
EDAC VERSIONING
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC is composed of a "core" module (edac_core.ko) and several Memory
|
||||
Controller (MC) driver modules. On a given system, the CORE
|
||||
is loaded and one MC driver will be loaded. Both the CORE and
|
||||
the MC driver (or edac_device driver) have individual versions that reflect
|
||||
current release level of their respective modules.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, to "report" on what version a system is running, one must report both
|
||||
the CORE's and the MC driver's versions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LOADING
|
||||
|
||||
If 'edac' was statically linked with the kernel then no loading is
|
||||
necessary. If 'edac' was built as modules then simply modprobe the
|
||||
'edac' pieces that you need. You should be able to modprobe
|
||||
hardware-specific modules and have the dependencies load the necessary core
|
||||
modules.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
$> modprobe amd76x_edac
|
||||
|
||||
loads both the amd76x_edac.ko memory controller module and the edac_mc.ko
|
||||
core module.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
EDAC sysfs INTERFACE
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC presents a 'sysfs' interface for control, reporting and attribute
|
||||
reporting purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC lives in the /sys/devices/system/edac directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Within this directory there currently reside 2 'edac' components:
|
||||
|
||||
mc memory controller(s) system
|
||||
pci PCI control and status system
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
Memory Controller (mc) Model
|
||||
|
||||
First a background on the memory controller's model abstracted in EDAC.
|
||||
Each 'mc' device controls a set of DIMM memory modules. These modules are
|
||||
laid out in a Chip-Select Row (csrowX) and Channel table (chX). There can
|
||||
be multiple csrows and multiple channels.
|
||||
|
||||
Memory controllers allow for several csrows, with 8 csrows being a typical value.
|
||||
Yet, the actual number of csrows depends on the electrical "loading"
|
||||
of a given motherboard, memory controller and DIMM characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
Dual channels allows for 128 bit data transfers to the CPU from memory.
|
||||
Some newer chipsets allow for more than 2 channels, like Fully Buffered DIMMs
|
||||
(FB-DIMMs). The following example will assume 2 channels:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 0 Channel 1
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
csrow0 | DIMM_A0 | DIMM_B0 |
|
||||
csrow1 | DIMM_A0 | DIMM_B0 |
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
csrow2 | DIMM_A1 | DIMM_B1 |
|
||||
csrow3 | DIMM_A1 | DIMM_B1 |
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
In the above example table there are 4 physical slots on the motherboard
|
||||
for memory DIMMs:
|
||||
|
||||
DIMM_A0
|
||||
DIMM_B0
|
||||
DIMM_A1
|
||||
DIMM_B1
|
||||
|
||||
Labels for these slots are usually silk screened on the motherboard. Slots
|
||||
labeled 'A' are channel 0 in this example. Slots labeled 'B'
|
||||
are channel 1. Notice that there are two csrows possible on a
|
||||
physical DIMM. These csrows are allocated their csrow assignment
|
||||
based on the slot into which the memory DIMM is placed. Thus, when 1 DIMM
|
||||
is placed in each Channel, the csrows cross both DIMMs.
|
||||
|
||||
Memory DIMMs come single or dual "ranked". A rank is a populated csrow.
|
||||
Thus, 2 single ranked DIMMs, placed in slots DIMM_A0 and DIMM_B0 above
|
||||
will have 1 csrow, csrow0. csrow1 will be empty. On the other hand,
|
||||
when 2 dual ranked DIMMs are similarly placed, then both csrow0 and
|
||||
csrow1 will be populated. The pattern repeats itself for csrow2 and
|
||||
csrow3.
|
||||
|
||||
The representation of the above is reflected in the directory tree
|
||||
in EDAC's sysfs interface. Starting in directory
|
||||
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc each memory controller will be represented
|
||||
by its own 'mcX' directory, where 'X' is the index of the MC.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
..../edac/mc/
|
||||
|
|
||||
|->mc0
|
||||
|->mc1
|
||||
|->mc2
|
||||
....
|
||||
|
||||
Under each 'mcX' directory each 'csrowX' is again represented by a
|
||||
'csrowX', where 'X' is the csrow index:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.../mc/mc0/
|
||||
|
|
||||
|->csrow0
|
||||
|->csrow2
|
||||
|->csrow3
|
||||
....
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that there is no csrow1, which indicates that csrow0 is
|
||||
composed of a single ranked DIMMs. This should also apply in both
|
||||
Channels, in order to have dual-channel mode be operational. Since
|
||||
both csrow2 and csrow3 are populated, this indicates a dual ranked
|
||||
set of DIMMs for channels 0 and 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Within each of the 'mcX' and 'csrowX' directories are several
|
||||
EDAC control and attribute files.
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
'mcX' DIRECTORIES
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In 'mcX' directories are EDAC control and attribute files for
|
||||
this 'X' instance of the memory controllers.
|
||||
|
||||
For a description of the sysfs API, please see:
|
||||
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs/devices-edac
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
'csrowX' DIRECTORIES
|
||||
|
||||
When CONFIG_EDAC_LEGACY_SYSFS is enabled, the sysfs will contain the
|
||||
csrowX directories. As this API doesn't work properly for Rambus, FB-DIMMs
|
||||
and modern Intel Memory Controllers, this is being deprecated in favor
|
||||
of dimmX directories.
|
||||
|
||||
In the 'csrowX' directories are EDAC control and attribute files for
|
||||
this 'X' instance of csrow:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Total Uncorrectable Errors count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ue_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file displays the total count of uncorrectable
|
||||
errors that have occurred on this csrow. If panic_on_ue is set
|
||||
this counter will not have a chance to increment, since EDAC
|
||||
will panic the system.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Total Correctable Errors count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ce_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file displays the total count of correctable
|
||||
errors that have occurred on this csrow. This
|
||||
count is very important to examine. CEs provide early
|
||||
indications that a DIMM is beginning to fail. This count
|
||||
field should be monitored for non-zero values and report
|
||||
such information to the system administrator.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Total memory managed by this csrow attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'size_mb'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file displays, in count of megabytes, of memory
|
||||
that this csrow contains.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Memory Type attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'mem_type'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display what type of memory is currently
|
||||
on this csrow. Normally, either buffered or unbuffered memory.
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
Registered-DDR
|
||||
Unbuffered-DDR
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC Mode of operation attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'edac_mode'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display what type of Error detection
|
||||
and correction is being utilized.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Device type attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'dev_type'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display what type of DRAM device is
|
||||
being utilized on this DIMM.
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
x1
|
||||
x2
|
||||
x4
|
||||
x8
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 0 CE Count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch0_ce_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display the count of CEs on this
|
||||
DIMM located in channel 0.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 0 UE Count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch0_ue_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display the count of UEs on this
|
||||
DIMM located in channel 0.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 0 DIMM Label control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch0_dimm_label'
|
||||
|
||||
This control file allows this DIMM to have a label assigned
|
||||
to it. With this label in the module, when errors occur
|
||||
the output can provide the DIMM label in the system log.
|
||||
This becomes vital for panic events to isolate the
|
||||
cause of the UE event.
|
||||
|
||||
DIMM Labels must be assigned after booting, with information
|
||||
that correctly identifies the physical slot with its
|
||||
silk screen label. This information is currently very
|
||||
motherboard specific and determination of this information
|
||||
must occur in userland at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 1 CE Count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch1_ce_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display the count of CEs on this
|
||||
DIMM located in channel 1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 1 UE Count attribute file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch1_ue_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display the count of UEs on this
|
||||
DIMM located in channel 0.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Channel 1 DIMM Label control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'ch1_dimm_label'
|
||||
|
||||
This control file allows this DIMM to have a label assigned
|
||||
to it. With this label in the module, when errors occur
|
||||
the output can provide the DIMM label in the system log.
|
||||
This becomes vital for panic events to isolate the
|
||||
cause of the UE event.
|
||||
|
||||
DIMM Labels must be assigned after booting, with information
|
||||
that correctly identifies the physical slot with its
|
||||
silk screen label. This information is currently very
|
||||
motherboard specific and determination of this information
|
||||
must occur in userland at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
SYSTEM LOGGING
|
||||
|
||||
If logging for UEs and CEs are enabled then system logs will have
|
||||
error notices indicating errors that have been detected:
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC MC0: CE page 0x283, offset 0xce0, grain 8, syndrome 0x6ec3, row 0,
|
||||
channel 1 "DIMM_B1": amd76x_edac
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC MC0: CE page 0x1e5, offset 0xfb0, grain 8, syndrome 0xb741, row 0,
|
||||
channel 1 "DIMM_B1": amd76x_edac
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The structure of the message is:
|
||||
the memory controller (MC0)
|
||||
Error type (CE)
|
||||
memory page (0x283)
|
||||
offset in the page (0xce0)
|
||||
the byte granularity (grain 8)
|
||||
or resolution of the error
|
||||
the error syndrome (0xb741)
|
||||
memory row (row 0)
|
||||
memory channel (channel 1)
|
||||
DIMM label, if set prior (DIMM B1
|
||||
and then an optional, driver-specific message that may
|
||||
have additional information.
|
||||
|
||||
Both UEs and CEs with no info will lack all but memory controller,
|
||||
error type, a notice of "no info" and then an optional,
|
||||
driver-specific error message.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
PCI Bus Parity Detection
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On Header Type 00 devices the primary status is looked at
|
||||
for any parity error regardless of whether Parity is enabled on the
|
||||
device. (The spec indicates parity is generated in some cases).
|
||||
On Header Type 01 bridges, the secondary status register is also
|
||||
looked at to see if parity occurred on the bus on the other side of
|
||||
the bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SYSFS CONFIGURATION
|
||||
|
||||
Under /sys/devices/system/edac/pci are control and attribute files as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enable/Disable PCI Parity checking control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'check_pci_parity'
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This control file enables or disables the PCI Bus Parity scanning
|
||||
operation. Writing a 1 to this file enables the scanning. Writing
|
||||
a 0 to this file disables the scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable:
|
||||
echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/check_pci_parity
|
||||
|
||||
Disable:
|
||||
echo "0" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/check_pci_parity
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Parity Count:
|
||||
|
||||
'pci_parity_count'
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute file will display the number of parity errors that
|
||||
have been detected.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
============================================================================
|
||||
MODULE PARAMETERS
|
||||
|
||||
Panic on UE control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'edac_mc_panic_on_ue'
|
||||
|
||||
An uncorrectable error will cause a machine panic. This is usually
|
||||
desirable. It is a bad idea to continue when an uncorrectable error
|
||||
occurs - it is indeterminate what was uncorrected and the operating
|
||||
system context might be so mangled that continuing will lead to further
|
||||
corruption. If the kernel has MCE configured, then EDAC will never
|
||||
notice the UE.
|
||||
|
||||
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: edac_mc_panic_on_ue=[0|1]
|
||||
|
||||
RUN TIME: echo "1" > /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_panic_on_ue
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Log UE control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'edac_mc_log_ue'
|
||||
|
||||
Generate kernel messages describing uncorrectable errors. These errors
|
||||
are reported through the system message log system. UE statistics
|
||||
will be accumulated even when UE logging is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: edac_mc_log_ue=[0|1]
|
||||
|
||||
RUN TIME: echo "1" > /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_log_ue
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Log CE control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'edac_mc_log_ce'
|
||||
|
||||
Generate kernel messages describing correctable errors. These
|
||||
errors are reported through the system message log system.
|
||||
CE statistics will be accumulated even when CE logging is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: edac_mc_log_ce=[0|1]
|
||||
|
||||
RUN TIME: echo "1" > /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_log_ce
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Polling period control file:
|
||||
|
||||
'edac_mc_poll_msec'
|
||||
|
||||
The time period, in milliseconds, for polling for error information.
|
||||
Too small a value wastes resources. Too large a value might delay
|
||||
necessary handling of errors and might loose valuable information for
|
||||
locating the error. 1000 milliseconds (once each second) is the current
|
||||
default. Systems which require all the bandwidth they can get, may
|
||||
increase this.
|
||||
|
||||
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: edac_mc_poll_msec=[0|1]
|
||||
|
||||
RUN TIME: echo "1000" > /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_poll_msec
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Panic on PCI PARITY Error:
|
||||
|
||||
'panic_on_pci_parity'
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This control files enables or disables panicking when a parity
|
||||
error has been detected.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
module/kernel parameter: edac_panic_on_pci_pe=[0|1]
|
||||
|
||||
Enable:

EDAC_DEVICE type of device
|
||||
|
||||
In the header file, edac_core.h, there is a series of edac_device structures
|
||||
and APIs for the EDAC_DEVICE.
|
||||
|
||||
User space access to an edac_device is through the sysfs interface.
|
||||
|
||||
At the location /sys/devices/system/edac (sysfs) new edac_device devices will
|
||||
appear.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a three level tree beneath the above 'edac' directory. For example,
|
||||
the 'test_device_edac' device (found at the bluesmoke.sourceforget.net website)
|
||||
installs itself as:
|
||||
|
||||
/sys/devices/systm/edac/test-instance
|
||||
|
||||
in this directory are various controls, a symlink and one or more 'instance'
|
||||
directories.
|
||||
|
||||
The standard default controls are:
|
||||
|
||||
log_ce boolean to log CE events
|
||||
log_ue boolean to log UE events
|
||||
panic_on_ue boolean to 'panic' the system if an UE is encountered
|
||||
(default off, can be set true via startup script)
|
||||
poll_msec time period between POLL cycles for events
|
||||
|
||||
The test_device_edac device adds at least one of its own custom control:
|
||||
|
||||
test_bits which in the current test driver does nothing but
|
||||
show how it is installed. A ported driver can
|
||||
add one or more such controls and/or attributes
|
||||
for specific uses.
|
||||
One out-of-tree driver uses controls here to allow
|
||||
for ERROR INJECTION operations to hardware
|
||||
injection registers
|
||||
|
||||
The symlink points to the 'struct dev' that is registered for this edac_device.
|
||||
|
||||
INSTANCES
|
||||
|
||||
One or more instance directories are present. For the 'test_device_edac' case:
|
||||
|
||||
test-instance0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this directory there are two default counter attributes, which are totals of
|
||||
counter in deeper subdirectories.
|
||||
|
||||
ce_count total of CE events of subdirectories
|
||||
ue_count total of UE events of subdirectories
|
||||
|
||||
BLOCKS
|
||||
|
||||
At the lowest directory level is the 'block' directory. There can be 0, 1
|
||||
or more blocks specified in each instance.
|
||||
|
||||
test-block0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this directory the default attributes are:
|
||||
|
||||
ce_count which is counter of CE events for this 'block'
|
||||
of hardware being monitored
|
||||
ue_count which is counter of UE events for this 'block'
|
||||
of hardware being monitored
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The 'test_device_edac' device adds 4 attributes and 1 control:
|
||||
|
||||
test-block-bits-0 for every POLL cycle this counter
|
||||
is incremented
|
||||
test-block-bits-1 every 10 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
||||
and test-block-bits-0 is set to 0
|
||||
test-block-bits-2 every 100 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
||||
and test-block-bits-1 is set to 0
|
||||
test-block-bits-3 every 1000 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
||||
and test-block-bits-2 is set to 0
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
reset-counters writing ANY thing to this control will
|
||||
reset all the above counters.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the 'test_device_edac' driver should any others to create their own
|
||||
unique drivers for their hardware systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The 'test_device_edac' sample driver is located at the
|
||||
bluesmoke.sourceforge.net project site for EDAC.

NEHALEM USAGE OF EDAC APIs
|
||||
|
||||
This chapter documents some EXPERIMENTAL mappings for EDAC API to handle
|
||||
Nehalem EDAC driver. They will likely be changed on future versions
|
||||
of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the way Nehalem exports Memory Controller data, some adjustments
|
||||
were done at i7core_edac driver. This chapter will cover those differences
|
||||
|
||||
1) On Nehalem, there are one Memory Controller per Quick Patch Interconnect
|
||||
(QPI). At the driver, the term "socket" means one QPI. This is
|
||||
associated with a physical CPU socket.
|
||||
|
||||
Each MC have 3 physical read channels, 3 physical write channels and
|
||||
3 logic channels. The driver currently sees it as just 3 channels.
|
||||
Each channel can have up to 3 DIMMs.
|
||||
|
||||
The minimum known unity is DIMMs. There are no information about csrows.
|
||||
As EDAC API maps the minimum unity is csrows, the driver sequencially
|
||||
maps channel/dimm into different csrows.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, supposing the following layout:
|
||||
Ch0 phy rd0, wr0 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
|
||||
dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
|
||||
dimm 1 1024 Mb offset: 4, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
|
||||
Ch1 phy rd1, wr1 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
|
||||
dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
|
||||
Ch2 phy rd3, wr3 (0x063f4031): 2 ranks, UDIMMs
|
||||
dimm 0 1024 Mb offset: 0, bank: 8, rank: 1, row: 0x4000, col: 0x400
|
||||
The driver will map it as:
|
||||
csrow0: channel 0, dimm0
|
||||
csrow1: channel 0, dimm1
|
||||
csrow2: channel 1, dimm0
|
||||
csrow3: channel 2, dimm0
|
||||
|
||||
exports one
|
||||
DIMM per csrow.
|
||||
|
||||
Each QPI is exported as a different memory controller.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Nehalem MC has the hability to generate errors. The driver implements this
|
||||
functionality via some error injection nodes:
|
||||
|
||||
For injecting a memory error, there are some sysfs nodes, under
|
||||
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc?/:
|
||||
|
||||
inject_addrmatch/*:
|
||||
Controls the error injection mask register. It is possible to specify
|
||||
several characteristics of the address to match an error code:
|
||||
dimm = the affected dimm. Numbers are relative to a channel;
|
||||
rank = the memory rank;
|
||||
channel = the channel that will generate an error;
|
||||
bank = the affected bank;
|
||||
page = the page address;
|
||||
column (or col) = the address column.
|
||||
each of the above values can be set to "any" to match any valid value.
|
||||
|
||||
At driver init, all values are set to any.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to generate an error at rank 1 of dimm 2, for any channel,
|
||||
any bank, any page, any column:
|
||||
echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm
|
||||
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank
|
||||
|
||||
To return to the default behaviour of matching any, you can do:
|
||||
echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/dimm
|
||||
echo any >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/rank
|
||||
|
||||
inject_eccmask:
|
||||
specifies what bits will have troubles,
|
||||
|
||||
inject_section:
|
||||
specifies what ECC cache section will get the error:
|
||||
3 for both
|
||||
2 for the highest
|
||||
1 for the lowest
|
||||
|
||||
inject_type:
|
||||
specifies the type of error, being a combination of the following bits:
|
||||
bit 0 - repeat
|
||||
bit 1 - ecc
|
||||
bit 2 - parity
|
||||
|
||||
inject_enable starts the error generation when something different
|
||||
than 0 is written.
|
||||
|
||||
All inject vars can be read. root permission is needed for write.
|
||||
|
||||
Datasheet states that the error will only be generated after a write on an
|
||||
address that matches inject_addrmatch. It seems, however, that reading will
|
||||
also produce an error.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the following code will generate an error for any write access
|
||||
at socket 0, on any DIMM/address on channel 2:
|
||||
|
||||
echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_addrmatch/channel
|
||||
echo 2 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_type
|
||||
echo 64 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_eccmask
|
||||
echo 3 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_section
|
||||
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/inject_enable
|
||||
dd if=/dev/mem of=/dev/null seek=16k bs=4k count=1 >& /dev/null
|
||||
|
||||
For socket 1, it is needed to replace "mc0" by "mc1" at the above
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
The generated error message will look like:
|
||||
|
||||
EDAC MC0: UE row 0, channel-a= 0 channel-b= 0 labels "-": NON_FATAL (addr = 0x0075b980, socket=0, Dimm=0, Channel=2, syndrome=0x00000040, count=1, Err=8c0000400001009f:4000080482 (read error: read ECC error))
|
||||
|
||||
3) Nehalem specific Corrected Error memory counters
|
||||
|
||||
Nehalem have some registers to count memory errors. The driver uses those
|
||||
registers to report Corrected Errors on devices with Registered Dimms.
|
||||
|
||||
However, those counters don't work with Unregistered Dimms. As the chipset
|
||||
offers some counters that also work with UDIMMS (but with a worse level of
|
||||
granularity than the default ones), the driver exposes those registers for
|
||||
UDIMM memories.
|
||||
|
||||
They can be read by looking at the contents of all_channel_counts/
|
||||
|
||||
$ for i in /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/*; do echo $i; cat $i; done
|
||||
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm0
|
||||
0
|
||||
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm1
|
||||
0
|
||||
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/all_channel_counts/udimm2
|
||||
0
|
||||
|
||||
What happens here is that errors on different csrows, but at the same
|
||||
dimm number will increment the same counter.
|
||||
So, in this memory mapping:
|
||||
csrow0: channel 0, dimm0
|
||||
csrow1: channel 0, dimm1
|
||||
csrow2: channel 1, dimm0
|
||||
csrow3: channel 2, dimm0
|
||||
The hardware will increment udimm0 for an error at the first dimm at either
|
||||
csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3;
|
||||
The hardware will increment udimm1 for an error at the second dimm at either
|
||||
csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3;
|
||||
The hardware will increment udimm2 for an error at the third dimm at either
|
||||
csrow0, csrow2 or csrow3;
|
||||
|
||||
4) Standard error counters
|
||||
|
||||
The standard error counters are generated when an mcelog error is received
|
||||
by the driver. Since, with udimm, this is counted by software, it is
|
||||
possible that some errors could be lost. With rdimm's, they displays the
|
||||
contents of the registers
