Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/mce: Dynamically size space for machine check records
Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2024 11:27:04 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240307192704.37213-1-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
Systems with a large number of CPUs may generate a large
number of machine check records when things go seriously
wrong. But Linux has a fixed buffer that can only capture
a few dozen errors.
Allocate space based on the number of CPUs (with a minimum
value based on the historical fixed buffer that could store
80 records).
