+IPF Machine Check (MC) error inject tool
+========================================
+
+IPF Machine Check (MC) error inject tool is used to inject MC
+errors from Linux. The tool is a test bed for IPF MC work flow including
+hardware correctable error handling, OS recoverable error handling, MC
+event logging, etc.
+
+The tool includes two parts: a kernel driver and a user application
+sample. The driver provides interface to PAL to inject error
+and query error injection capabilities. The driver code is in
+arch/ia64/kernel/err_inject.c. The application sample (shown below)
+provides a combination of various errors and calls the driver's interface
+(sysfs interface) to inject errors or query error injection capabilities.
+
+The tool can be used to test Intel IPF machine MC handling capabilities.
+It's especially useful for people who can not access hardware MC injection
+tool to inject error. It's also very useful to integrate with other
+software test suits to do stressful testing on IPF.
+
+Below is a sample application as part of the whole tool. The sample
+can be used as a working test tool. Or it can be expanded to include
+more features. It also can be a integrated into a libary or other user
+application to have more thorough test.
+
+The sample application takes err.conf as error configuation input. Gcc
+compiles the code. After you install err_inject driver, you can run
+this sample application to inject errors.
+
+Errata: Itanium 2 Processors Specification Update lists some errata against
+the pal_mc_error_inject PAL procedure. The following err.conf has been tested
+on latest Montecito PAL.
+
+err.conf:
+
+#This is configuration file for err_inject_tool.
+#The format of the each line is:
+#cpu, loop, interval, err_type_info, err_struct_info, err_data_buffer
+#where
+#	cpu: logical cpu number the error will be inject in.
+#	loop: times the error will be injected.
+#	interval: In second. every so often one error is injected.
+#	err_type_info, err_struct_info: PAL parameters.
+#
+#Note: All values are hex w/o or w/ 0x prefix.
+
+
+#On cpu2, inject only total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#corrected, data cache, hier-2, physical addr(assigned by tool code).
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+2, 10, 5, 4101, 95
+
+#On cpu4, inject and consume total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#corrected, data cache, hier-2, physical addr(assigned by tool code).
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+4, 10, 5, 4109, 95
+
+#On cpu15, inject and consume total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#recoverable, DTR0, hier-2.
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+0xf, 0x10, 5, 4249, 15
