"bluesmoke" was the name for this device driver when it was "out-of-tree"
|
|
and maintained at sourceforge.net. When it was pushed into 2.6.16 for the
|
|
first time, it was renamed to 'EDAC'.
|
|
|
|
The bluesmoke project at sourceforge.net is now utilized as a 'staging area'
|
|
for EDAC development, before it is sent upstream to kernel.org
|
|
|
|
At the bluesmoke/EDAC project site, is a series of quilt patches against
|
|
recent kernels, stored in a SVN respository. For easier downloading, there
|
|
is also a tarball snapshot available.
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
EDAC PURPOSE
|
|
|
|
The 'edac' kernel module goal is to detect and report errors that occur
|
|
within the computer system running under linux.
|
|
|
|
MEMORY
|
|
|
|
In the initial release, memory Correctable Errors (CE) and Uncorrectable
|
|
Errors (UE) are the primary errors being harvested. These types of errors
|
|
are harvested by the 'edac_mc' class of device.
|
|
|
|
Detecting CE events, then harvesting those events and reporting them,
|
|
CAN be a predictor of future UE events. With CE events, the system can
|
|
continue to operate, but with less safety. Preventive maintenance and
|
|
proactive part replacement of memory DIMMs exhibiting CEs can reduce
|
|
the likelihood of the dreaded UE events and system 'panics'.
|
|
|
|
NON-MEMORY
|
|
|
|
A new feature for EDAC, the edac_device class of device, was added in
|
|
the 2.6.23 version of the kernel.
|
|
|
|
This new device type allows for non-memory type of ECC hardware detectors
|
|
to have their states harvested and presented to userspace via the sysfs
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
Some architectures have ECC detectors for L1, L2 and L3 caches, along with DMA
|
|
engines, fabric switches, main data path switches, interconnections,
|
|
and various other hardware data paths. If the hardware reports it, then
|
|
a edac_device device probably can be constructed to harvest and present
|
|
that to userspace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PCI BUS SCANNING
|
|
|
|
In addition, PCI Bus Parity and SERR Errors are scanned for on PCI devices
|
|
in order to determine if errors are occurring on data transfers.
|
|
|
|
The presence of PCI Parity errors must be examined with a grain of salt.
|
|
There are several add-in adapters that do NOT follow the PCI specification
|
|
with regards to Parity generation and reporting. The specification says
|
|
the vendor should tie the parity status bits to 0 if they do not intend
|
|
to generate parity. Some vendors do not do this, and thus the parity bit
|
|
can "float" giving false positives.
|
|
|
|
In the kernel there is a pci device attribute located in sysfs that is
|
|
checked by the EDAC PCI scanning code. If that attribute is set,
|
|
PCI parity/error scannining is skipped for that device. The attribute
|
|
is:
|
|
|
|
broken_parity_status
|
|
|
|
as is located in /sys/devices/pci<XXX>/0000:XX:YY.Z directorys for
|
|
PCI devices.
|
|
|
|
FUTURE HARDWARE SCANNING
|
|
|
|
EDAC will have future error detectors that will be integrated with
|
|
EDAC or added to it, in the following list:
|
|
|
|
MCE Machine Check Exception
|
|
MCA Machine Check Architecture
|
|
NMI NMI notification of ECC errors
|
|
MSRs Machine Specific Register error cases
|
|
and other mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
These errors are usually bus errors, ECC errors, thermal throttling
|
|
and the like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
EDAC VERSIONING
|
|
|
|
EDAC is composed of a "core" module (edac_core.ko) and several Memory
|
|
Controller (MC) driver modules. On a given system, the CORE
|
|
is loaded and one MC driver will be loaded. Both the CORE and
|
|
the MC driver (or edac_device driver) have individual versions that reflect
|
|
current release level of their respective modules.
|
|
|
|
Thus, to "report" on what version a system is running, one must report both
|
|
the CORE's and the MC driver's versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOADING
|
|
|
|
If 'edac' was statically linked with the kernel then no loading is
|
|
necessary. If 'edac' was built as modules then simply modprobe the
|
|
'edac' pieces that you need. You should be able to modprobe
|
|
hardware-specific modules and have the dependencies load the necessary core
|
|
modules.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
$> modprobe amd76x_edac
|
|
|
|
loads both the amd76x_edac.ko memory controller module and the edac_mc.ko
|
|
core module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
EDAC sysfs INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
EDAC presents a 'sysfs' interface for control, reporting and attribute
|
|
reporting purposes.
|
|
|
|
EDAC lives in the /sys/devices/system/edac directory.
|
|
|
|
Within this directory there currently reside 2 'edac' components:
|
|
|
|
mc memory controller(s) system
|
|
pci PCI control and status system
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
Memory Controller (mc) Model
|
|
|
|
First a background on the memory controller's model abstracted in EDAC.
|
|
Each 'mc' device controls a set of DIMM memory modules. These modules are
|
|
laid out in a Chip-Select Row (csrowX) and Channel table (chX). There can
|
|
be multiple csrows and multiple channels.
|
|
|
|
Memory controllers allow for several csrows, with 8 csrows being a typical value.
|
|
Yet, the actual number of csrows depends on the electrical "loading"
|
|
of a given motherboard, memory controller and DIMM characteristics.
|
|
|
|
Dual channels allows for 128 bit data transfers to the CPU from memory.
|
|
Some newer chipsets allow for more than 2 channels, like Fully Buffered DIMMs
|
|
(FB-DIMMs). The following example will assume 2 channels:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Channel 0 Channel 1
|
|
===================================
|
|
csrow0 | DIMM_A0 | DIMM_B0 |
|
|
csrow1 | DIMM_A0 | DIMM_B0 |
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
csrow2 | DIMM_A1 | DIMM_B1 |
|
|
csrow3 | DIMM_A1 | DIMM_B1 |
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
In the above example table there are 4 physical slots on the motherboard
|
|
for memory DIMMs:
|
|
|
|
DIMM_A0
|
|
DIMM_B0
|
|
DIMM_A1
|
|
DIMM_B1
|
|
|
|
Labels for these slots are usually silk screened on the motherboard. Slots
|
|
labeled 'A' are channel 0 in this example. Slots labeled 'B'
|
|
are channel 1. Notice that there are two csrows possible on a
|
|
physical DIMM. These csrows are allocated their csrow assignment
|
|
based on the slot into which the memory DIMM is placed. Thus, when 1 DIMM
|
|
is placed in each Channel, the csrows cross both DIMMs.
|
|
|
|
Memory DIMMs come single or dual "ranked". A rank is a populated csrow.
|
|
Thus, 2 single ranked DIMMs, placed in slots DIMM_A0 and DIMM_B0 above
|
|
will have 1 csrow, csrow0. csrow1 will be empty. On the other hand,
|
|
when 2 dual ranked DIMMs are similarly placed, then both csrow0 and
|
|
csrow1 will be populated. The pattern repeats itself for csrow2 and
|
|
csrow3.
|
|
|
|
The representation of the above is reflected in the directory tree
|
|
in EDAC's sysfs interface. Starting in directory
|
|
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc each memory controller will be represented
|
|
by its own 'mcX' directory, where 'X" is the index of the MC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
..../edac/mc/
|
|
|
|
|
|->mc0
|
|
|->mc1
|
|
|->mc2
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Under each 'mcX' directory each 'csrowX' is again represented by a
|
|
'csrowX', where 'X" is the csrow index:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.../mc/mc0/
|
|
|
|
|
|->csrow0
|
|
|->csrow2
|
|
|->csrow3
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Notice that there is no csrow1, which indicates that csrow0 is
|
|
composed of a single ranked DIMMs. This should also apply in both
|
|
Channels, in order to have dual-channel mode be operational. Since
|
|
both csrow2 and csrow3 are populated, this indicates a dual ranked
|
|
set of DIMMs for channels 0 and 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within each of the 'mc','mcX' and 'csrowX' directories are several
|
|
EDAC control and attribute files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
DIRECTORY 'mc'
|
|
|
|
In directory 'mc' are EDAC system overall control and attribute files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Panic on UE control file:
|
|
|
|
'edac_mc_panic_on_ue'
|
|
|
|
An uncorrectable error will cause a machine panic. This is usually
|
|
desirable. It is a bad idea to continue when an uncorrectable error
|
|
occurs - it is indeterminate what was uncorrected and the operating
|
|
system context might be so mangled that continuing will lead to further
|
|
corruption. If the kernel has MCE configured, then EDAC will never
|
|
notice the UE.
|
|
|
|
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: panic_on_ue=[0|1]
|
|
|
|
RUN TIME: echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/edac_mc_panic_on_ue
|
|
|
|
|
|
Log UE control file:
|
|
|
|
'edac_mc_log_ue'
|
|
|
|
Generate kernel messages describing uncorrectable errors. These errors
|
|
are reported through the system message log system. UE statistics
|
|
will be accumulated even when UE logging is disabled.
|
|
|
|
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: log_ue=[0|1]
|
|
|
|
RUN TIME: echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/edac_mc_log_ue
|
|
|
|
|
|
Log CE control file:
|
|
|
|
'edac_mc_log_ce'
|
|
|
|
Generate kernel messages describing correctable errors. These
|
|
errors are reported through the system message log system.
|
|
CE statistics will be accumulated even when CE logging is disabled.
|
|
|
|
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: log_ce=[0|1]
|
|
|
|
RUN TIME: echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/edac_mc_log_ce
|
|
|
|
|
|
Polling period control file:
|
|
|
|
'edac_mc_poll_msec'
|
|
|
|
The time period, in milliseconds, for polling for error information.
|
|
Too small a value wastes resources. Too large a value might delay
|
|
necessary handling of errors and might loose valuable information for
|
|
locating the error. 1000 milliseconds (once each second) is the current
|
|
default. Systems which require all the bandwidth they can get, may
|
|
increase this.
|
|
|
|
LOAD TIME: module/kernel parameter: poll_msec=[0|1]
|
|
|
|
RUN TIME: echo "1000" >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/edac_mc_poll_msec
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
'mcX' DIRECTORIES
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 'mcX' directories are EDAC control and attribute files for
|
|
this 'X" instance of the memory controllers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Counter reset control file:
|
|
|
|
'reset_counters'
|
|
|
|
This write-only control file will zero all the statistical counters
|
|
for UE and CE errors. Zeroing the counters will also reset the timer
|
|
indicating how long since the last counter zero. This is useful
|
|
for computing errors/time. Since the counters are always reset at
|
|
driver initialization time, no module/kernel parameter is available.
|
|
|
|
RUN TIME: echo "anything" >/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/counter_reset
|
|
|
|
This resets the counters on memory controller 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seconds since last counter reset control file:
|
|
|
|
'seconds_since_reset'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays how many seconds have elapsed since the
|
|
last counter reset. This can be used with the error counters to
|
|
measure error rates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memory Controller name attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'mc_name'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the type of memory controller
|
|
that is being utilized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total memory managed by this memory controller attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'size_mb'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays, in count of megabytes, of memory
|
|
that this instance of memory controller manages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total Uncorrectable Errors count attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'ue_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the total count of uncorrectable
|
|
errors that have occurred on this memory controller. If panic_on_ue
|
|
is set this counter will not have a chance to increment,
|
|
since EDAC will panic the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total UE count that had no information attribute fileY:
|
|
|
|
'ue_noinfo_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the number of UEs that
|
|
have occurred have occurred with no informations as to which DIMM
|
|
slot is having errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total Correctable Errors count attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'ce_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the total count of correctable
|
|
errors that have occurred on this memory controller. This
|
|
count is very important to examine. CEs provide early
|
|
indications that a DIMM is beginning to fail. This count
|
|
field should be monitored for non-zero values and report
|
|
such information to the system administrator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total Correctable Errors count attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'ce_noinfo_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the number of CEs that
|
|
have occurred wherewith no informations as to which DIMM slot
|
|
is having errors. Memory is handicapped, but operational,
|
|
yet no information is available to indicate which slot
|
|
the failing memory is in. This count field should be also
|
|
be monitored for non-zero values.
|
|
|
|
Device Symlink:
|
|
|
|
'device'
|
|
|
|
Symlink to the memory controller device.
|
|
|
|
Sdram memory scrubbing rate:
|
|
|
|
'sdram_scrub_rate'
|
|
|
|
Read/Write attribute file that controls memory scrubbing. The scrubbing
|
|
rate is set by writing a minimum bandwith in bytes/sec to the attribute
|
|
file. The rate will be translated to an internal value that gives at
|
|
least the specified rate.
|
|
|
|
Reading the file will return the actual scrubbing rate employed.
|
|
|
|
If configuration fails or memory scrubbing is not implemented, the value
|
|
of the attribute file will be -1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Total Uncorrectable Errors count attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'ue_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the total count of uncorrectable
|
|
errors that have occurred on this csrow. If panic_on_ue is set
|
|
this counter will not have a chance to increment, since EDAC
|
|
will panic the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Total Correctable Errors count attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'ce_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file displays the total count of correctable

that this csrow contains.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memory Type attribute file:
|
|
|
|
'mem_type'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file will display what type of memory is currently
|
|
on this csrow. Normally, either buffered or unbuffered memory.
|

SYSTEM LOGGING
|
|
|
|
If logging for UEs and CEs are enabled then system logs will have
|
|
error notices indicating errors that have been detected:
|
|
|
|
EDAC MC0: CE page 0x283, offset 0xce0, grain 8, syndrome 0x6ec3, row 0,
|
|
channel 1 "DIMM_B1": amd76x_edac
|
|
|
|
EDAC MC0: CE page 0x1e5, offset 0xfb0, grain 8, syndrome 0xb741, row 0,
|
|
channel 1 "DIMM_B1": amd76x_edac
|
|
|
|
|
|
The structure of the message is:
|
|
the memory controller (MC0)
|
|
Error type (CE)
|
|
memory page (0x283)
|
|
offset in the page (0xce0)
|
|
the byte granularity (grain 8)
|
|
or resolution of the error
|
|
the error syndrome (0xb741)
|
|
memory row (row 0)
|
|
memory channel (channel 1)
|
|
DIMM label, if set prior (DIMM B1
|
|
and then an optional, driver-specific message that may
|
|
have additional information.
|
|
|
|
Both UEs and CEs with no info will lack all but memory controller,
|
|
error type, a notice of "no info" and then an optional,
|

PCI Bus Parity Detection
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Header Type 00 devices the primary status is looked at
|
|
for any parity error regardless of whether Parity is enabled on the
|
|
device. (The spec indicates parity is generated in some cases).
|
|
On Header Type 01 bridges, the secondary status register is also
|
|
looked at to see if parity occurred on the bus on the other side of
|
|
the bridge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYSFS CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
Under /sys/devices/system/edac/pci are control and attribute files as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable/Disable PCI Parity checking control file:
|
|
|
|
'check_pci_parity'
|
|
|
|
|
|
This control file enables or disables the PCI Bus Parity scanning
|
|
operation. Writing a 1 to this file enables the scanning. Writing
|
|
a 0 to this file disables the scanning.
|
|
|
|
Enable:
|
|
echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/check_pci_parity
|
|
|
|
Disable:
|
|
echo "0" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/check_pci_parity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Panic on PCI PARITY Error:
|
|
|
|
'panic_on_pci_parity'
|
|
|
|
|
|
This control files enables or disables panicking when a parity
|
|
error has been detected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
module/kernel parameter: panic_on_pci_parity=[0|1]
|
|
|
|
Enable:
|
|
echo "1" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/panic_on_pci_parity
|
|
|
|
Disable:
|
|
echo "0" >/sys/devices/system/edac/pci/panic_on_pci_parity
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parity Count:
|
|
|
|
'pci_parity_count'
|
|
|
|
This attribute file will display the number of parity errors that
|
|
have been detected.

EDAC_DEVICE type of device
|
|
|
|
In the header file, edac_core.h, there is a series of edac_device structures
|
|
and APIs for the EDAC_DEVICE.
|
|
|
|
User space access to an edac_device is through the sysfs interface.
|
|
|
|
At the location /sys/devices/system/edac (sysfs) new edac_device devices will
|
|
appear.
|
|
|
|
There is a three level tree beneath the above 'edac' directory. For example,
|
|
the 'test_device_edac' device (found at the bluesmoke.sourceforget.net website)
|
|
installs itself as:
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/systm/edac/test-instance
|
|
|
|
in this directory are various controls, a symlink and one or more 'instance'
|
|
directorys.
|
|
|
|
The standard default controls are:
|
|
|
|
log_ce boolean to log CE events
|
|
log_ue boolean to log UE events
|
|
panic_on_ue boolean to 'panic' the system if an UE is encountered
|
|
(default off, can be set true via startup script)
|
|
poll_msec time period between POLL cycles for events
|
|
|
|
The test_device_edac device adds at least one of its own custom control:
|
|
|
|
test_bits which in the current test driver does nothing but
|
|
show how it is installed. A ported driver can
|
|
add one or more such controls and/or attributes
|
|
for specific uses.
|
|
One out-of-tree driver uses controls here to allow
|
|
for ERROR INJECTION operations to hardware
|
|
injection registers
|
|
|
|
The symlink points to the 'struct dev' that is registered for this edac_device.
|
|
|
|
INSTANCES
|
|
|
|
One or more instance directories are present. For the 'test_device_edac' case:
|
|
|
|
test-instance0
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this directory there are two default counter attributes, which are totals of
|
|
counter in deeper subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
ce_count total of CE events of subdirectories
|
|
ue_count total of UE events of subdirectories
|
|
|
|
BLOCKS
|
|
|
|
At the lowest directory level is the 'block' directory. There can be 0, 1
|
|
or more blocks specified in each instance.
|
|
|
|
test-block0
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this directory the default attributes are:
|
|
|
|
ce_count which is counter of CE events for this 'block'
|
|
of hardware being monitored
|
|
ue_count which is counter of UE events for this 'block'
|
|
of hardware being monitored
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'test_device_edac' device adds 4 attributes and 1 control:
|
|
|
|
test-block-bits-0 for every POLL cycle this counter
|
|
is incremented
|
|
test-block-bits-1 every 10 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
|
and test-block-bits-0 is set to 0
|
|
test-block-bits-2 every 100 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
|
and test-block-bits-1 is set to 0
|
|
test-block-bits-3 every 1000 cycles, this counter is bumped once,
|
|
and test-block-bits-2 is set to 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
reset-counters writing ANY thing to this control will
|
|
reset all the above counters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use of the 'test_device_edac' driver should any others to create their own
|
|
unique drivers for their hardware systems.
|
|
|
|
The 'test_device_edac' sample driver is located at the
|
|
bluesmoke.sourceforge.net project site for EDAC.
