ACPI, APEI, APEI supporting infrastructure APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error serialization and error injection. For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification version 4.0, chapter 17. This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST. A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a common framework is defined for them.

ACPI, APEI, HEST table parsing HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values) to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for example, chipset-specific error registers). HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is provided.
