Merge branch 'x86-ras-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 RAS changes from Ingo Molnar:
- SCI reporting for other error types not only correctable ones
- GHES cleanups
- Add the functionality to override error reporting agents as some
machines are sporting a new extended error logging capability which,
if done properly in the BIOS, makes a corresponding EDAC module
redundant
- PCIe AER tracepoint severity levels fix
- Error path correction for the mce device init
- MCE timer fix
- Add more flexibility to the error injection (EINJ) debugfs interface
* 'x86-ras-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, mce: Fix mce_start_timer semantics
ACPI, APEI, GHES: Cleanup ghes memory error handling
ACPI, APEI: Cleanup alignment-aware accesses
ACPI, APEI, GHES: Do not report only correctable errors with SCI
ACPI, APEI, EINJ: Changes to the ACPI/APEI/EINJ debugfs interface
ACPI, eMCA: Combine eMCA/EDAC event reporting priority
EDAC, sb_edac: Modify H/W event reporting policy
EDAC: Add an edac_report parameter to EDAC
PCI, AER: Fix severity usage in aer trace event
x86, mce: Call put_device on device_register failure
