Currently, exporting new additional machine check error information involves adding new fields for the same at the end of the struct mce. This additional information can then be consumed through mcelog or tracepoint. However, as new MSRs are being added (and will be added in the future) by CPU vendors on their newer CPUs with additional machine check error information to be exported, the size of struct mce will balloon on some CPUs, unnecessarily, since those fields are vendor-specific. Moreover, different CPU vendors may export the additional information in varying sizes. The problem particularly intensifies since struct mce is exposed to userspace as part of UAPI. It's bloating through vendor-specific data should be avoided to limit the information being sent out to userspace. Add a new structure mce_hw_err to wrap the existing struct mce. The same will prevent its ballooning since vendor-specifc data, if any, can now be exported through a union within the wrapper structure and through __dynamic_array in mce_record tracepoint. Furthermore, new internal kernel fields can be added to the wrapper struct without impacting the user space API.

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.
