x86: EDAC: MCE: Fix MCE decoding callback logic
Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a
non-default callback only on CPU families which support it.
While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE
code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:
- Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not
good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be
overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not
good, obviously.
- The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h.
- Added the more correct fallback printk of:
No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.
On CPUs that dont have a decoder.
- Made the surrounding code more readable.
Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback -
without having to check the CPU versions during the printout
itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the
decode-print function.
(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)
version -v2 by Borislav Petkov:
- add K8 to the set of supported CPUs
- always build in edac_mce_amd since we use an early_initcall now
- fix checkpatch warnings
