| mce-inject allows to inject machine check errors on the |
| software level into a running Linux kernel. This is intended for |
| validation of the kernel machine check handler. |
| |
| Syntax: |
| |
| mce-inject input-file .. |
| |
| See the manpage for the input language |
| |
| Some simple tests are in test/*. |
| |
| Warning: some of them will panic the machine (this is intended) |
| |
| Requires a Linux 2.6.31+ kernel with CONFIG_X86_MCE_INJECT |
| enabled and the mce-inject module loaded (if not built in) |
| |
| The official git tree for this project is on |
| git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-inject.git |
| |
| A more comprehensive test suite testing much more machine check features |
| using this program is available in mce-test |
| git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-test.git |
