The branch main has been updated by jtl: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=55c28005f544282b984ae0e15dacd0c108d8ab12 commit 55c28005f544282b984ae0e15dacd0c108d8ab12 Author: Jonathan T. Looney <jtl@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-10-07 12:58:05 +0000 Commit: Jonathan T. Looney <jtl@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-10-08 19:12:35 +0000 x86: support sending non-fatal MCA messages to syslog Currently, all MCA messages are logged to the console. However, this can have performance implications which can turn a storm of correctable errors into a disruptive event. Provide an option to direct non-fatal messages to syslog. Note that we will always log to the console for fatal errors.
