When a machine check exception occurs for a - non corrected machine check the kernel can take different - actions. - - Since machine check exceptions can happen any time it is - sometimes risky for the kernel to kill a process because it - defies normal kernel locking rules. The tolerance level - configures how hard the kernel tries to recover even at some - risk of deadlock. Higher tolerant values trade potentially - better uptime with the risk of a crash or even corruption - (for tolerant >= 3). - - == =========================================================== - 0 always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors - 1 panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors - 2 SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors - 3 never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only) - == =========================================================== - - Default: 1 - - Note this only makes a difference if the CPU allows recovery - from a machine check exception. Current x86 CPUs generally - do not. - What: /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheckX/trigger Contact: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Date: Feb, 2007 |
