CONFIG_X86_MCE_NONFATAL: Check for non-fatal errors on AMD Athlon/Duron / Intel Pentium 4

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_X86_MCE_NONFATAL has multiple definitions:

Check for non-fatal errors on AMD Athlon/Duron / Intel Pentium 4 found in arch/x86/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_X86_MCE_NONFATAL:

• prompt: Check for non-fatal errors on AMD Athlon/Duron / Intel Pentium 4
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE
• defined in arch/x86/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.24–2.6.31
• modules built: non-fatal, non-fatal

Help text

Enabling this feature starts a timer that triggers every 5 seconds which will look at the machine check registers to see if anything happened. Non-fatal problems automatically get corrected (but still logged). Disable this if you don't want to see these messages. Seeing the messages this option prints out may be indicative of dying or out-of-spec (ie, overclocked) hardware. This option only does something on certain CPUs. (AMD Athlon/Duron and Intel Pentium 4)
