For investigating by UEFI expert, They got a conclusion that the Firmware always handle the error first, So that the OS cant capture that. Such as the handling of PFA threshold and mirror area uncorrected errors. So, I have a question, does the mcelog need to handle that while enabled the firmware first on UEFI? Looking forward to your reply, many thanks!
Because if the BIOS enable the Firmware First function, the OS can't get the error count correctly, So that the mcelog can't trigger the threshold events that defined by '/etc/mcelog/mcelog.conf ' as usual. The UEFI engineers only want to know how the OS will do when the UEFI handle error first, or whether the UEFI should enable the Firmware First, if enable it, whether it is reasonable. Is there anyone give a help? Appreciate it!
As we know, The mcelog daemon accounts memory errors, mcelog --client can be used to query the count of corrected and uncorrected errors. The mcelog daemon can also execute triggers when configurable error thresholds are exceeded. This is used to implement a range of automatic predictive failure analysis algorithms: including bad page offlining and automatic cache error handling. User defined actions can be also configured.
If the UEFI enable the FIRMWARE_FIRST function(defined by ACPI spec), UEFI handles errors first, not even notifying OS, it result in the thresholds event which defined in ‘/etc/mcelog/mcelog.conf’ can’t be triggered, So I think it's an abnormal behavior.
Anyway, the mcelog daemon accounts inaccurate memory error while test RAS features after enable FIRMWARE_FIRST in UEFI.So if enable FIRMWARE_FIRST in UEFI, when we run the command ‘mcelog –client’ , there is nothing output.
After researching the code about the mcelog, it was blocked at MCE status bit checking,The partial resource code of the mcelog tool list as below:
125 static int intel_memory_error(struct mce *m, unsigned recordlen) 126 { 127 u32 mca = m->status & 0xffff; 128 if ((mca >> 7) == 1) { 129 unsigned corr_err_cnt = 0; 130 int channel[2] = { (mca & 0xf) == 0xf ? -1 : (int)(mca & 0xf), -1 }; 131 int dimm[2] = { -1, -1 };
It seems that after enable the FIRMWARE_FIRST, UEFI handle errors first when errors occurred, But This behavior causes a change in the status of the MCA register, so mcelog can’t get the correct information, Ultimately, the user-defined event could not be triggered.
hi [xiaochunlee]:
I ran into the same problem,How do you solve it now ?mcelog --client
shows nothing but /var/log/mcelog records mce event,finally triggers not invoked。@xiaochunlee

Command "mcelog --client" shows logs huge possibility due to the MCA status register bit 7(start from bit 0). Eg. In the latest Intel Birch Stream, Sierra Forest CPU, when UEFI don't gather MCA data first into GHES (WHEA table) to notify OS, the MCA status register always is 0xbd80000000070134 in SRAR testing, the bit 7 is 0, so nothing shows up while running "mcelog --client", follow "SFR Registers Specification reversion 1.2", chapter "Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Encoding". bit 0-15 is MCACOD, the 0x0134 means "[CE/UC/SRAR] Data Cache Level 0 - Data Read Error", so it looks everything good, but "mcelog --client" show log prerequisite is bit 7 of MCA status must be 1, I don't know why have this design, @Tony Zhu tony.zhu@intel.com, Could you please help to let me know the really reason or the background? Many thanks! When UEFI does fill the WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) table and notify OS via GHES (Generic Hardware Error Source) notify type, such as NMI or SCI, the MCA register always be 0xbc0000000000009f, obvious, the bit 7 is 1, so the "mcelog --client" have message output under this situation. Now, In Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650V4 with Intel Birch Stream, Sierra Forest CPU, Lenovo UEFI designs don't follow Intel new design to store error info to Extend log, and drop original design that store error info to WHEA as well, so the MCA status is 0xbd80000000070134 after SRAR testing and no output while running command "mcelog --client". @Tony Zhu tony.zhu@intel.com Is that a normal behavior, do you have any idea on that? Appreciate it!
I've got more information about those, update as follows. Intel Architecture spec "Table 16-10. IA32_MCi_Status [15:0] Compound Error Code Encoding" says that only Memory Controller Errors and "Extended Memory Errors" (memory of 1-level memory, slow far memory of 2-level memory and fast near memory of 2-level memory) has bit#7 be set to 1. So both EDAC driver in kernel and mcelog in APP have logical judgement of MCi status bit#7, they just parse memory error. In my case, I use SRAR (Software Recoverable Action Required) test case, that triggered DCU error is a "Data CACHE Level-0 Data-Read Error", it belongs to the category of "Cache Hierarchy Errors", not the "Memory Controller Errors" we mentioned. That's why EDAC driver and mcelog show nothing while SRAR injected in. The kernel annotation listed as below. But I'm still confuse that why WHEA be filled by UEFI in FFM (Firmware First Mode) expose to OS MCi Status have changed to 0xbc0000000000009f from 0xbd80000000070134 while SRAR tested, Maybe your UEFI guys or Intel could tell us. -->> /*

The 0xbc0000000000009f status is provided by the Linux function apei_mce_report_mem_error() because the error record sent to Linux in the firmware first case does not include information from the machine check bank.
mce_setup(&m);
m.bank = -1;
/* Fake a memory read error with unknown channel */
m.status = MCI_STATUS_VAL | MCI_STATUS_EN | MCI_STATUS_ADDRV | MCI_STATUS_MISCV | 0x9f;

@aegl, Thanks for your clarification. Yes, is a fake mca bank number here, and just the CPER section in the Generic Error Status Block sent to OS. But I was just wondering in function apei_mce_report_mem_error(), if set the mca status register MCACOD to 0x009f, and then it notify the decoders that registered on "x86_mce_decoder_chain", include those EDAC notifier and mcelog notifier, so the EDAC and mcelog find that it is a valid memory error via bit#7 in mca status register and start to decode the mce information, but in fact, it is a cache error, such as SRAR DCU test in access application address, the output looks like below. The MCA status register is 0xbd80000000100134 is a "Data CACHE Level-0 Data-Read Error" but become 0xb40000000000009f via GHES notify OS, due to EDAC driver and mcelog be notified and start decoding to "MEMORY CONTROLLER RD_CHANNELunspecified_ERR" for mcelog, and "EDAC MC0: 1 UE memory read error on CPU_SrcID#0_MC#0_Chan#0_DIMM#0 (channel:0 slot:0 page:0xe16677 offset:0x0 grain:32 - err_code:0000:009f socket:0 imc:0 rank:0 bg:0 ba:3 row:dad3 col:3c0)" for EDAC. Are those interpreted output right or not? I mean other interpreted results except bank number (-1). Actually, it is a Cache Hierarchy Errors, but in the UEFI FFM scennario, kernel treat is as a Memory error, is that correct, do we need to enhance them? Many thanks! @aegl

From log, we know that we got two interrupts in a row when SRAR injected, the above one is from MCE (int 18) interrupt. EDAC doesn't decode mca info, because it is not a memory error (bit#7 is 0), and "mcelog --client" doesn't either. The below one is NMI interrupt that defined in GHES, there are EDAC decode output, and command "mcelog --client" did show up something.

It is complicated.
When there is an error from memory (e.g. 2-bit ECC fail). The memory controller logs a UCNA signature in one of the machine check banks, signals CMCI, and returns “Poisoned” data to the requestor.
That poisoned data can be held in different levels of the cache. Sometimes it was just the result of a prefetch or speculative execution., in which case there is no further error action.
If a PCU core tries to consume data marked as poisoned, then the SRAR signature is logged and a machine check signaled. That happens in the L1 caches (instruction or data) so you end up with a “cache” coding in the MCi_STATUS.MCACOD field (0x0150 for instruction, 0x0134 for data).

From log, we know that we got two interrupts in a row when SRAR injected, the above one is from MCE (int 18) interrupt. EDAC doesn't decode mca info, because it is not a memory error (bit#7 is 0), and "mcelog --client" doesn't either. The below one is NMI interrupt that defined in GHES, there are EDAC decode output, and command "mcelog --client" show up something.

Thanks for your patient explanation. so it sounds normal of EDAC decoder and "mcelog --client" show nothing in SRAR test case with no UEFI involved. Whereas, with UEFI help to collect data and notify OS via GHES table with a fake mca bank , the EDAC decoder and "mcelog --client" recorded data and output. it is normal as well. Is my understanding right? many thanks!
Lately, We tested RAS function about memory inject error on the Purley platform of lenovo SR630, The OS is RHEL8,kernel version kernel-4.18.0-67.el8, mcelog version is 159. The test steps list as below:
Mount the einj module linux-1rz0:~ # modprobe einj param_extension=1 linux-1rz0:~ #
Start the mcelog daemon linux-1rz0:~ # mcelog --daemon linux-1rz0:~ #
Check whether the einj module loaded successfully linux-1rz0:~ # cd /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj/ linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # ls available_error_type error_inject error_type flags notrigger param1 param2 param3 param4 vendor vendor_flags linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj #
4.Inject uncorrectable error to memory mirror range linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # echo 0x10 > error_type linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # echo 0x12345 > param1 linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # echo 0xfffffffffffff000 > param2 linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # echo 1 > error_inject linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj # echo 1 > notrigger linux-1rz0:/sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj #
Below is some informations about the outcome:

But when we execute the mcelog --client ,there is nothing output. So I research the code about the mcelog and found that it was blocked by mce status bit settings,The partial resource code of the mcelog tool list as below:
125 static int intel_memory_error(struct mce *m, unsigned recordlen) 126 { 127 u32 mca = m->status & 0xffff; 128 if ((mca >> 7) == 1) { 129 unsigned corr_err_cnt = 0; 130 int channel[2] = { (mca & 0xf) == 0xf ? -1 : (int)(mca & 0xf), -1 }; 131 int dimm[2] = { -1, -1 };
