    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing error detection and correction for a platform comprising a memory including one or more spare memory segments. In an embodiment, a memory controller performs first scrubbing operations including detection for errors in a plurality of currently active memory segments. Additional patrol scrubbing is performed for one or more memory segments while the memory segments are each available for activation as a replacement memory segment. In another embodiment, a first handler process (but not a second handler process) is signaled if an uncorrectable error event is detected based on the active segment scrubbing, whereas the second handler process (but not the first handler process) is signaled if an uncorrectable error event is detected based on the spare segment scrubbing. Of the first handler process and the second handler process, only signaling of the first handler process results in a crash event of the platform.

    Abstract: Runtime memory cell row defect detection and replacement includes detecting in a memory of a computer system operating in a runtime operating system mode, a defective row of memory cells having at least one defective cell. In response to the detection of the defective row, interrupting the operating system of the computer system and, in a runtime system maintenance mode, replacing the defective row of memory cells with a spare row of memory cells as a replacement row of memory cells. Execution of the operating system is then resumed in the runtime operating system mode Other aspects and advantages are described.
