UEFI spec allows for non-standard section in Common Platform Error Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of UEFI version 2.5. Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match with one of the section types that the kernel knows how to parse, the section is skipped. Therefore, user is not able to see such CPER data, for instance, error record of non-standard section. This change prints out the raw data in hex in the dmesg buffer so that non-standard sections are reported to the user. Non-standard section type errors should be reported to the user because these can include errors which are vendor specific. The data length is taken from Error Data length field of Generic Error Data Entry. The following is a sample output from dmesg: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 2 It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action event severity: corrected time: precise 2017-03-15 20:37:35 Error 0, type: corrected section type: unknown, d2e2621c-f936-468d-0d84-15a4ed015c8b section length: 0x238 00000000: 4d415201 4d492031 453a4d45 435f4343 .RAM1 IMEM:ECC_C 00000010: 53515f45 44525f42 00000000 00000000 E_QSB_RD........ 00000020: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ 00000030: 00000000 00000000 01010000 01010000 ................ 00000040: 00000000 00000000 00000005 00000000 ................ 00000050: 01010000 00000000 00000001 00dddd00 ................ ... The raw data from the error can then be decoded using vendor specific tools.

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.
