Qiuxu Zhuo 039d7af651 EDAC, sb_edac: Classify memory mirroring modes
Basically, there are full memory mirroring and address range partial
memory mirroring (supported by Haswell EX and Broadwell EX) modes.

a) In full memory mirroring, the memory behind each memory controller
   is mirrored, i.e. the memory is split into two identical mirrors
   (primary and secondary), half of the memory is reserved for redundancy.

b) In address range partial memory mirroring, the memory size (range)
   of primary and secondary behind each memory controller can be user
   defined by the TAD0 register. The rest of memory ranges defined by
   TAD1/TAD2/... in that memory controller are non-mirrored.

For more detail on memory mirroring, see the following link written by Tony Luck:

  https://01.org/lkp/blogs/tonyluck/2016/address-range-partial-memory-mirroring-linux

Currently the sb_edac driver only supports address decoding in full
memory mirroring and non-mirroring modes. In address range partial
memory mirroring mode, it may fail to decode an address that falls in a
non-mirroring area (the following was one of this kind of failed logs).

  EDAC MC1: 0 UE Can't discover the memory rank for ch addr 0x7fb54e900 on any memory ( page:0x0 offset:0x0 grain:32)
  mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged

Therefore, classify memory mirroring modes and make the address decoding
in address range partial memory mode correct.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
