The ACPI Boot Error Record Table (BERT) is being used by the kernel to report errors that occurred in a previous boot. On some modern AMD systems, these very errors within the BERT are reported through the x86 Common Platform Error Record (CPER) format which consists of one or more Processor Context Information Structures. These context structures provide a starting address and represent an x86 MSR range in which the data constitutes a contiguous set of MSRs starting from, and including the starting address. It's common, for AMD systems that implement this behavior, that the MSR range represents the MCAX register space used for the Scalable MCA feature. The apei_smca_report_x86_error() function decodes and passes this information through the MCE notifier chain. However, this function assumes a fixed register size based on the original HW/FW implementation. This assumption breaks with the addition of two new MCAX registers viz. MCA_SYND1 and MCA_SYND2. These registers are added at the end of the MCAX register space, so they won't be included when decoding the CPER data. Rework apei_smca_report_x86_error() to support a variable register array size. This covers any case where the MSR context information starts at the MCAX address for MCA_STATUS and ends at any other register within the MCAX register space.

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.
