    efi: print unrecognized CPER section · 0fc300f4
    Tyler Baicar authored
    UEFI spec allows for non-standard section in Common Platform Error
    Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of UEFI version 2.5.
    
    Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match with
    one of the section types that the kernel knows how to parse, the
    section is skipped. Therefore, user is not able to see
    such CPER data, for instance, error record of non-standard section.
    
    This change prints out the raw data in hex in the dmesg buffer so
    that non-standard sections are reported to the user. Non-standard
    section type errors should be reported to the user because these
    can include errors which are vendor specific. The data length is
    taken from Error Data length field of Generic Error Data Entry.
    
    The following is a sample output from dmesg:
     Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 2
     It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
     event severity: corrected
      time: precise 2017-03-15 20:37:35
      Error 0, type: corrected
       section type: unknown, d2e2621c-f936-468d-0d84-15a4ed015c8b

    The raw data from the error can then be decoded using vendor
    specific tools.
