This patchset updates the mce_record tracepoint so that the recently added fields of struct mce are exported through it to userspace. The first patch adds PPIN (Protected Processor Inventory Number) field to the tracepoint. The second patch adds the microcode field (Microcode Revision) to the tracepoint.
This is a lot of static information to add to *every* MCE.
And where does it end? Stick full dmesg in the tracepoint too?
What is the real-life use case here?
