System and method for tracking memory corrected errors by frequency of occurrence while reducing dynamic memory allocation

摘要

An information handling system includes a processor and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The processor executes an operating system, and detects a corrected error from a memory controller of the information handling system. In response, the processor generates a system management interrupt (SMI). In response to the SMI the BIOS executes a SMI handler. The SMI handler detects a row of the corrected error within a dual inline memory module (DIMM) of the information handling system, and determines whether an entry for the row is located within a hash table. In response to the entry for the row being located within the hash table, the SMI handler increments an error count in a field of the entry for the row. Otherwise, the SMI handler adds a new entry for the row to the hash table, and increments an error count in a field of the new entry for the row.
