From: Peter Tyser <[email protected]>
This patch adds a module parameter "sysbus_parity" to allow forcing system bus parity error
checking on or off. It also adds support to automatically disable system bus parity errors for
processors which do not support it.
If the sysbus_parity parameter is specified, sysbus parity detection will be forced on or off. If
it is not specified, the driver will attempt to look at the CPU identifier string and determine
if the CPU supports system bus parity. A blacklist was used instead of a whitelist so that system
bus parity would be enabled by default and to minimize the chances of breaking things for those
people already using the driver which for some reason have a processor that does not have a valid
CPU identifier string.

Is that the best way of working out whether the CPU supports system bus
parity? We do have cpu capability infrastructure in x86 core and I'd have
though it would be better for x86 core to work this out, set the suitable
flag and have clients (ie: EDAC) test that flag?
Peter Tyser,
can you look into this, as it is your requirement, for a possible better solution with those on
the CC list?
Thanks
Thanks Andrew for the notice.

The above implementation was the only way I could think of to
dynamically determine if hardware supported system bus parity at
runtime. I agree that adding a new x86 cpu capability flag for system
bus parity support would be an ideal way to support this feature for use
by subsystems such as EDAC. However, there are a whole lot of possible
x86 CPU/Northbridge combinations and I could think of no clean way to
easily determine which of those combinations do or don't support system
bus parity. The logic needed to compare the incredibly large number of
CPU and Northbridge combinations seems rather daunting...
The current patch was manageable in that only a few CPU/Northbridge
combinations needed to be accounted for and a module parameter would
allow for a manual override if necessary.
If others have suggestions as far as a more generic or generally cleaner
approach, I'd be happy to implement and test.
