BIOS can configure memory devices as firmware first. This will send CXL events to the firmware instead of the OS. The firmware can then send these events to the OS via UEFI. UEFI v2.10 section N.2.14 defines a Common Platform Error Record (CPER) format for CXL Component Events. The format is mostly the same as the CXL Common Event Record Format. The difference is the use of a GUID in the Section Type rather than a UUID as part of the event itself. Add GHES support to detect CXL CPER records and call a registered callback with the event. A notifier chain was considered for the callback but the complexity did not justify the use case as only the CXL subsystem requires this event. Enforce that only one callback can be registered at any time. Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Cc: Rafael J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
