    x86/mce: Add support for deferred errors on AMD · 7559e13f
    Aravind Gopalakrishnan authored
    Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but
    those errors have not been consumed yet. They require no action from
    S/W (or action is optional). These errors provide info about a latent
    uncorrectable MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is consumed by the
    processor.
    
    Newer AMD processors can generate deferred errors and can be configured
    to generate APIC interrupts on such events.
    
    SUCCOR stands for S/W UnCorrectable error COntainment and Recovery.
    It indicates support for data poisoning in HW and deferred error
    interrupts.
    
    Add new bitfield to mce_vendor_flags for this. We use this to verify
    presence of deferred error interrupts before we enable them in mce_amd.c
    
    While at it, clarify comments in mce_vendor_flags to provide an
    indication of usages of the bitfields.
