Normally, corrected hardware error records will go through the kernel
processing and be logged to disk or network finally. But for
uncorrected errors, system may go panic directly for better error
containment, disk or network is not usable in this half-working
system. To avoid losing these valuable hardware error records, the
error records are saved into some kind of simple persistent storage
such as flash before panic, so that they can be read out after system
reboot successfully.
Different kind of simple persistent storage implementation mechanisms
are provided on different platforms, so an abstract interface for
persistent storage is defined. Different implementations of the
interface can be registered.
This patch is designed by Andi Kleen and Huang Ying.
