Implement this to add SBE dump management. | |
Self Boot Engine(SBE) is a microcontroller that sits inside the processor to | |
initialize it to start the booting and also acts as a secure channel for | |
accessing certain control functions on the processor. During the booting or | |
other hardware access operations SBE can encounter errors and become | |
unresponsive. In such situations, the debug data needs to be collected from | |
such SBEs to find out the root cause of the error. This data includes | |
hardware state, configuration, memory, etc. The collected data is then | |
packaged into the OpenPOWER dump format and which is called as SBE dump. | |
There will be one instance of SBE on each processor. Implement this | |
interface to add support for managing the SBE dump. |
