Bjorn Helgaas1c48aa32009-02-19 14:45:47 -070014 Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),

20 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
21 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
22 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
23 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support

Thomas Renninger1195a092010-07-16 13:11:31 +020077 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
78 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
Thomas Renninger500de3dd2010-07-29 22:30:24 +020079 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
80 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
81 code being involved.
Thomas Renninger1195a092010-07-16 13:11:31 +020082 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
83 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.

375 Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
376 more information about the error than what can be described in
377 processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
378 additional information about the error in processor uncore
379 registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
380 widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
381 readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
382 the additional error information cannot be constructed without
383 detailed knowledge about platform topology.
384
385 Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
386 information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
387 driver adds support for that functionality.
