Doug Thompson 10d33e9c36 edac: e752x fix too loud on nonmemory errors
This module harvests more than just memory errors, it also harvests
various bus and dma errors that the Chipset detects.  Previously, it would
report all such errors, which would cause output to be TOO loud.

This patches therefore adds a parameter which is used to turn off
NON-MEMORY error reports by default.  Or the reporting can be enabled via
the parameter

Also did code style cleanup: less than 80 characters per line rule

Arthur Jones 124682c785 edac: core fix added newline to sysfs dimm labels
The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code.
However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a
newline embedded.  This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks
funny when cat'ing it.  Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs
chX_dimm_label output...

[Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC.
User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label
fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen
labels of the motherboard in use.  dmidecode access BIOS tables, but BIOS
tables are well known to be incorrect and useless in these respects.
edac-utils will strip off any newlines before its use of the output, when
displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

When updating the edac_mc_poll_msec module parameter from the sysfs
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_poll_msec file, we don't update

Here we provide a new module parameter set method to call out to the
update routine.  This brings the /sys/module/edac_core/parameters
functionality up to that provided by the /sys/drivers/system/edac/mc sysfs
module parameter files so that we can remove them or at least link to the

Arthur Jones 14cc571bb1 edac: core fix to use dynamic kobject
Static kobjects are not supported in linux kernel.  Convert the
edac_pci_top_main_kobj from static to dynamic.  This avoids the double
free of the edac_pci_top_main_kobj.name that we see on module reload of
the e752x edac driver (and probably others as well).

In addition Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> has pointed out that this code may be
cleaned up significantly.  I will look at that as a follow-on patch, for
now, I just want the minimum fix to get this double-free oops bug
squashed...

Many thanks to Greg KH for his patience in showing me what the
Documentation/kobject.txt already said (oops)...
