| 3 | depends on X86 | |
| 4 | help | |
| 5 | APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset) | |
| 6 | to the operating system. This improves NMI handling | |
| 7 | especially. In addition it supports error serialization and | |
| 8 | error injection. | |

| 14 | help | |
| 15 | Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report | |
| 16 | platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It | |
| 17 | works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware | |
| 18 | errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to | |
| 19 | Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware | |
| 20 | error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked | |
| 21 | by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error | |
| 22 | information for Linux. | |

| 25 | tristate "APEI Error INJection (EINJ)" | |
| 26 | depends on ACPI_APEI && DEBUG_FS | |
| 27 | help | |
| 28 | EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is | |
| 29 | mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of | |
| 30 | APEI and some other RAS features. | |

| 35 | help | |
| 36 | ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware | |
| 58f87ed0 | 37 | error information to and from a persistent store. Enable this |

38 | if you want to debugging and testing the ERST kernel support |
| 39 | and firmware implementation. |
