This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend machine lifetime. So rip it out.

Description:
|
|
(X = CPU number)
|
|
|
|
Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions
|
|
detected by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a
|
|
machine check (often with panic), corrected ones cause a
|
|
machine check log entry.
|
|
|
|
For more details about the x86 machine check architecture
|
|
see the Intel and AMD architecture manuals from their
|
|
developer websites.
|
|
|
|
For more details about the architecture
|
|
see http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf

Each CPU has its own directory.

(Y bank number)
|
|
|
|
64bit Hex bitmask enabling/disabling specific subevents for
|
|
bank Y.
|
|
|
|
When a bit in the bitmask is zero then the respective
|
|
subevent will not be reported.
|
|
|
|
By default all events are enabled.
|
|
|
|
Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
|
|
per bank. This is not visible here

Description:
|
|
The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
|
|
between all CPUs.
|
|
|
|
How often to poll for corrected machine check errors, in
|
|
seconds (Note output is hexadecimal). Default 5 minutes.
|
|
When the poller finds MCEs it triggers an exponential speedup
|
|
(poll more often) on the polling interval. When the poller
|
|
stops finding MCEs, it triggers an exponential backoff
|
|
(poll less often) on the polling interval. The check_interval
|
|
variable is both the initial and maximum polling interval.
|
|
0 means no polling for corrected machine check errors
|
|
(but some corrected errors might be still reported
|
|
in other ways)

Program to run when a machine check event is detected.
|
|
This is an alternative to running mcelog regularly from cron
|
|
and allows to detect events faster.

All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.

This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
