docs-rst: admin-guide: add documentation for EDAC

2016-12-15T10:54:50+00:00

EDAC is part of the Kernel's RAS facilities, with is useful for system admins to detect errors. So, add it to the admin's guide. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

edac.txt: Improve documentation, adding RAS introduction

2016-12-15T10:54:50+00:00

The edac.txt assumes that the reader has already deep knowledge on RAS features. However, this may not be the case. So, add an introduction chapter explaining the main concepts that are used by the EDAC subsystem and by other RAS drivers within the Kernel. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

edac.txt: update information about newer Intel CPUs

2016-12-15T10:54:50+00:00

There's a chapter at edac.rst written by the time Nehalem support was added. Such information is used not only by the Nehalem driver (i7core_edac), but by all newer Intel CPU architectures that are supported by i7core_edac, sb_edac and sbx_edac drivers. Update the information to reflect that. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

edac.txt: remove info that the Nehalem EDAC is experimental

2016-12-15T10:54:50+00:00

This driver has been there for almost 3 years, without any conceptual changes. So, it is not experimental anymore, and won't likely have any changes at the API or on log outputs. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

edac.txt: convert EDAC documentation to ReST

2016-12-15T10:54:49+00:00

Converts the EDAC driver subsystem documentation to ReST: - Put paragraph titles in lower case; - Add code blocks where needed; - Convert tables to ReST markup; - Mark filesystem and module names as verbatim; - Adjust document to be properly displayed in html. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

edac.txt: add a section explaining the dimmX and rankX directories

2016-12-15T10:54:49+00:00

Documentation for those are missing at the EDAC description. I guess we end by moving such descriptions in the past to the ABI document (or only added it there), but it means that the EDAC documentation is incomplete. So, add it there. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

EDAC: Remove references to bluesmoke.sourceforge.net

2015-11-26T13:46:06+00:00

This site is archaic and should be consulted for historical reasons only. Move it to the documentation file. Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov

Documentation/EDAC: Add reference documents section for amd64_edac

2015-09-29T11:42:41+00:00

This section used to be in amd64_edac.h. Move it here as it is a more natural place to put all documentation-related info. Add links to the BKDGs while at it.

EDAC: Update Documentation/edac.txt

2015-06-24T16:17:40+00:00

Do some initial cleanup, more probably will come. - Move credits section to the end - Update maintainers - Drop sourceforge reference - project is long upstream now - Reformat sections - Reformat paragraphs - Clarify text - Bring it up-to-date - Drop useless "future hardware scanning" section Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov
