The MCA threshold limit generally is not something that needs to change during runtime. It is common for a system administrator to decide on a policy for their managed systems. If MCA thresholding is OS-managed, then the threshold limit must be set at every boot. However, many systems allow the user to set a value in their BIOS. And this is reported through an APEI HEST entry even if thresholding is not in FW-First mode. Use this value, if available, to set the OS-managed threshold limit. Users can still override it through sysfs if desired for testing or debug. APEI is parsed after MCE is initialized. So reset the thresholding blocks later to pick up the 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.
