| * edac: rename channel_info to rank_infoMauro Carvalho Chehab2012-03-211-5/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What it is pointed by a csrow/channel vector is a rank information, and not a channel information. On a traditional architecture, the memory controller directly access the memory ranks, via chip select rows. Different ranks at the same DIMM is selected via different chip select rows. So, typically, one csrow/channel pair means one different DIMM. On FB-DIMMs, there's a microcontroller chip at the DIMM, called Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) that serves as the interface between the memory controller and the memory chips. The AMB selection is via the DIMM slot, and not via a csrow. It is up to the AMB to talk with the csrows of the DRAM chips. So, the FB-DIMM memory controllers see the DIMM slot, and not the DIMM rank. RAMBUS is similar. Newer memory controllers, like the ones found on Intel Sandy Bridge and Nehalem, even working with normal DDR3 DIMM's, don't use the usual channel A/channel B interleaving schema to provide 128 bits data access. Instead, they have more channels (3 or 4 channels), and they can use several interleaving schemas. Such memory controllers see the DIMMs directly on their registers, instead of the ranks, which is better for the driver, as its main usageis to point to a broken DIMM stick (the Field Repleceable Unit), and not to point to a broken DRAM chip. The drivers that support such such newer memory architecture models currently need to fake information and to abuse on EDAC structures, as the subsystem was conceived with the idea that the csrow would always be visible by the CPU. To make things a little worse, those drivers don't currently fake csrows/channels on a consistent way, as the concepts there don't apply to the memory controllers they're talking with. So, each driver author interpreted the concepts using a different logic. In order to fix it, let's rename the data structure that points into a DIMM rank to "rank_info", in order to be clearer about what's stored there. Latter patches will provide a better way to represent the memory hierarchy for the other types of memory controller. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
| * edac: Improve the comments to better describe the memory conceptsMauro Carvalho Chehab2012-03-211-46/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Computer memory terminology has changed with time since EDAC was originally written: new concepts were introduced, and some things have different meanings, depending on the memory architecture. Improve the definition of all related terms. Also, describe each memory type in a more detailed fashion. No functional changes. Just comments were touched.

* | device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dirPaul Gortmaker2012-03-161-1/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device" which appears so often. Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

* edac: fix module initialization on several modules 2nd timeHitoshi Mitake2008-04-291-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I implemented opstate_init() as a inline function in linux/edac.h. added calling opstate_init() to: i82443bxgx_edac.c i82860_edac.c i82875p_edac.c i82975x_edac.c I wrote a fixed patch of edac-fix-module-initialization-on-several-modules.patch, and tested building 2.6.25-rc7 with applying this. It was succeed. I think the patch is now correct.

* drivers/edac: add new nmi rescanDave Jiang2007-07-191-0/+29
Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable. Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option. Please review/test. Thx! Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.
