Impact: cleanup; making code future proof; memory saving on small systems This patch replaces the hardcoded max number of machine check banks with dynamic allocation depending on what the CPU reports. The sysfs data structures and the banks array are dynamically allocated. There is still a hard bank limit (128) because the mcelog protocol uses banks >= 128 as pseudo banks to escape other events. But we expect that 128 banks is beyond any reasonable CPU for now. This supersedes an earlier patch by Venki, but it solves the problem more completely by making the limit fully dynamic (up to the 128 boundary). This saves some memory on machines with less than 6 banks because they won't need sysdevs for unused ones and also allows to use sysfs to control these banks on possible future CPUs with more than 6 banks. This is an updated patch addressing Venki's comments. I also added in another patch from Thomas which fixed the error allocation path (that patch was previously separated) Cc: Venki Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.
