In the meantime, like Boris suggests, I think we can have a different
trace event for raw APEI reports - userspace can use it as it pleases.
Once ghes_edac gets better, users can decide whether they want raw APEI
reports or the EDAC-processed version and choose one or the other trace
event.
It's cheap to add as many tracepoints as we like - but may be costly to maintain.
Especially if we have to tinker with them later to adjust which things are logged,
that puts a burden on user-space tools to be updated to adapt to the changing
API.
Mauro has written his user-space tool to process the ghes-edac events:
git://git.fedorahosted.org/rasdaemon.git
Who is writing the user space tools to process the new apei tracepoints
you want to add?
I'm not opposed to these patches - just wondering who is taking the next step
to make them useful.
