[Alison] Thank you very much for all your detailed comments.
I agreed with your opinion that CPUACTLR_EL1 and L2ACTLR can't be written in Linux. So the error injection can't be done in Linux. Do you mean the error injection can only be done in firmware before Linux boots up? If so, the system is running with error injection enabled all the time, it may be not a good idea too. Any suggestion?


Best Regards,
