One Line Summary

Report PCIe error statistics via sysfs

Abstract

PCI Express Root Port Advanced Error Reporting currently only supports reporting errors to the console. Having to monitor console logs is tedious and complicated when running a large data center.

We would like to propose adding software counters to the PCIAER driver and make these accessible via sysfs.
