Ubuntu is expected to enable this soon.

Interesting.  I was told from other distro that there were many buggy
firmwares out there that prevented to enable ghes_edac.  Do you know if
Ubuntu has any plan to address such issue?  Or do they not see such
issue?  I do not test with other vendors' platforms, so I cannot tell
exactly what those bugs are...


I do not know if Ubuntu intends to address any "known issues". I know a request was made to Canonical to enable the option, and it appears the request is being considered, although the option may be limited to ARM64, depending on how Canonical's evaluation goes. I am not aware of any particular issues, so I cannot say what the side effects are, or what platforms are considered to exhibit such issues.
