Package: mcelog (0.9~pre+2gitb7ddf8-2)

x86-64 Machine Check Exceptions collector and decoder

Starting with version 2.6.4, the Linux kernel for x86-64 no longer decodes and logs recoverable Machine Check Exception events to the kernel log on its own.

Instead, the MCE data is kept in a buffer which can be read from userspace via the /dev/mcelog device node.

You need this tool to collect and decode those events; it will log the decoded MCE events to syslog.
