AMD systems optionally support an MCA thresholding interrupt. The interrupt should be used as another signal to trigger MCA polling. This is similar to how the Intel Corrected Machine Check interrupt (CMCI) is handled. AMD MCA thresholding is managed using the MCA_MISC registers within an MCA bank. The OS will need to modify the hardware error count field in order to reset the threshold limit and rearm the interrupt. Management of the MCA_MISC register should be done as a follow up to the basic MCA polling flow. It should not be the main focus of the interrupt handler. Furthermore, future systems will have the ability to send an MCA thresholding interrupt to the OS even when the OS does not manage the feature, i.e. MCA_MISC registers are Read-as-Zero/Locked. Call the common MCA polling function when handling the MCA thresholding interrupt. This will allow the OS to find any valid errors whether or not the MCA thresholding feature is OS-managed. Also, this allows the common MCA polling options and kernel parameters to apply to AMD systems. Add a callback to the MCA polling function to check and reset any threshold blocks that have reached their threshold limit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
