  5. -------
  6. Zen-based AMD systems include a Data Fabric that manages the layout of
  7. physical memory. Devices attached to the Fabric, like memory controllers,
  8. I/O, etc., may not have a complete view of the system physical memory map.
  9. These devices may provide a "normalized", i.e. device physical, address
  10. when reporting memory errors. Normalized addresses must be translated to
  11. a system physical address for the kernel to action on the memory.
  12. AMD Address Translation Library (CONFIG_AMD_ATL) provides translation for
  13. this case.
  14. Glossary of acronyms used in address translation for Zen-based systems

  16. * COD = Cluster-on-Die
  17. * COH_ST = Coherent Station
  18. * DF = Data Fabric
