APEI Error INJection ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features. To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel configuration: CONFIG_DEBUG_FS CONFIG_ACPI_APEI CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the directory apei/einj. The following files are provided. - available_error_type Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the right field is error description. 0x00000001 Processor Correctable 0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal 0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal 0x00000008 Memory Correctable 0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal 0x00000020 Memory Uncorrectable fatal 0x00000040 PCI Express Correctable 0x00000080 PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal 0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal 0x00000200 Platform Correctable 0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal 0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal The format of file contents are as above, except there are only the available error type lines. - error_type This file is used to set the error type value. The error type value is defined in "available_error_type" description. - error_inject Write any integer to this file to trigger the error injection. Before this, please specify all necessary error parameters. For more information about EINJ, please refer to ACPI specification version 4.0, section 17.5.
