摘要： Methods and architectures for performing hardware error handling using coordinated operating system (OS) and firmware services. In one aspect, a firmware interface is provided to enable an OS to access firmware error-handling services. Such services enable the OS to access error data concerning platform hardware errors that may not be directed accessed via a platform processor or through other conventional approaches. Techniques are also disclosed for intercepting the processing of hardware error events and directing control to firmware error-handling services prior to attempting to service the error using OS-based services. The firmware services may correct hardware errors and/or log error data that may be later accessed by the OS or provided to a remote management server using an out-of-band communication channel. In accordance with another aspect, the firmware intercept and services may be performed in a manner that is transparent to the OS.

摘要： A processing system may include an operating system (OS) and one or more specialized error handling modules to be registered with the OS after the processing system is powered on. The OS may also include a master policy module. The specialized error handling module may collect error data from a component of the processing system, and may generate abstracted error data, based at least in part on the collected error data. The master policy module may determine a recovery action to be taken, based at least in part on the abstracted error data. The OS may also include an error collection routine that calls one or more specialized error handling modules in response to detecting a hardware error. The error collection routine may also retrieve information from firmware in response to detecting the hardware error. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A system and method for injecting hardware errors into a microprocessor system is described. In one embodiment, a software interface between system software and system firmware is established. Software test and debug for software error handlers may thus be supported. The software interface may support both a query mode call and a seed mode call. When a query mode call is issued, it may request whether or not the system firmware and hardware support the injection of a specified kind of error. A return from this call may be used to make a list of supported errors for injection. When a seed mode call is issued, the corresponding error may be injected into the hardware.
