Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated mcelog packages that fix numerous bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The mcelog package contains a daemon that collects and decodes Machine Check
Exception (MCE) data on AMD64 and Intel 64 machines.
The mcelog packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.6, which provides a
number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#795931)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
- The mcelog(8) man page contained incorrect information about usage of the
"--supported" flag. This man page has been updated and the information is
correct now. (BZ#851406)
- Previously, the mcelog daemon ignored the 15h microarchitecture family of AMD
processors and did not report the Machine Check Exception (MCE) errors.
Consequently, reported errors were unavailable to system administrators. The 15h
microarchitecture family of AMD processors has been included to the list of
supported processors and mcelog reports MCE errors correctly in this case.
(BZ#871249)
As well, this update adds the following enhancement:
- This enhancement adds support for the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors to the
mcelog packages. (BZ#740915)
All users of mcelog are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
