I.e. something like the patch below. Completely untested.
Note, while looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other
MCE code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:
- Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not good
here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be overriden
if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not good, obviously.
- The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h - a
quick glance suggests that decoding of earlier models isnt supported?
- Added the more correct fallback printk of:
No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.
On CPUs that dont have a decoder.
- Made the surrounding code more readable.
Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback - without
having to check the CPU versions during the printout itself. When an
EDAC module registers itself, it can install the decode-print function.
(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)
