The Error Detection And Correction (EDAC) subsystem updates for Linux 6.8 have been submitted for dealing with ECC reporting under Linux and the other error detection/recovery driver updates.

On the AMD side they pull in support for the "AMD AI accelerators" and what they mean by that is the AMD Instinct MI300 series support. Out for a while now has been the EDAC patches for the Instinct MI300 and that's being mainlined in Linux 6.8. The patches recognize AMD Family 19 Models 0x90 to 0x9f within the AMD64 EDAC driver. The driver also now recognizes the HBM3 memory type found with the MI300A.

The Intel EDAC "igen6" driver has also seen a number of new platforms now supported too. The new Intel EDAC platform support in Linux 6.8 includes now handling Alder Lake N, Raptor Lake P, Meteor Lake P, and Meteor Lake PS SoCs. Those necessary ID bits are in place and ready to go for Linux 6.8.

Aside from the new Intel and AMD hardware support in the EDAC space, the rest of the EDAC updates for Linux 6.8 aren't particularly noteworthy.
