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 +020080 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
81 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
Thomas Renninger500de3dd2010-07-29 22:30:24 +020082 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
83 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
84 code being involved.
Thomas Renninger1195a092010-07-16 13:11:31 +020085 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
86 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.

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