Itanium MC Error Injection Tool: Introduction

Itanium Machine Check (MC) error inject tool is used to
inject MC errors
from Linux. The tool is a test bed for Itanium MC work flow
including
hardware correctable error handling, OS recoverable error
handling, MC
event logging, etc. The tool includes two parts: a kernel
driver and a
user application sample.

The driver provides pal_mc_error_inject() interface to
inject error and
query error injection capabilities.

The application sample provides a combination of various
errors and calls
the drivers interface (sysfs interface) to inject errors or
query error
injection capabilities. The sample application can be
re-written, modified,
or integrated into other applications as long as GPL
permitted.
