+config ACPI_APEI
+ bool "ACPI Platform Error Interface (APEI)"
+ depends on X86
+ help
+ APEI allows to report errors (for example from the chipset)
+ to the operating system. This improves NMI handling
+ especially. In addition it supports error serialization and
+ error injection.
+
+config ACPI_APEI_GHES
+ tristate "APEI Generic Hardware Error Source"
+ depends on ACPI_APEI && X86
+ select ACPI_HED
+ help
+ Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report
+ platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It
+ works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware
+ errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to
+ Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware
+ error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked
+ by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
+ information for Linux.
+
+config ACPI_APEI_EINJ
+ tristate "APEI Error INJection (EINJ)"
+ depends on ACPI_APEI && DEBUG_FS
+ help
+ EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, it is
+ mainly used for debugging and testing the other parts of
+ APEI and some other RAS features.
