* | drivers/edac: add edac_device class | Douglas Thompson | 2007-07-19 | 1 | -0/+9 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'. As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices. Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance' able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'. At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX() functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields, which are a summation of counts below that level. This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

* | drivers/edac: split out functions to unique files | Douglas Thompson | 2007-07-19 | 1 | -0/+55 |
This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE. Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c with it corresponding edac_mc.h file. Now, there are the following files: edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers edac_module.h Internal CORE .h include file This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device' class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.
