It can be tested by EINJ tool to inject an memory error, and by mcelog tool to read error info, basically it need:

1. enable einj tools: load EINJ kernel module and mount debugfs;

2. set error type
# cat available_error_type (depend on your bios)
0x00000002      Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
0x00000008      Memory Correctable
0x00000010      Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
# echo 0x8 > error_type

3. find a proper physical address for injection (usually use a free page like xen heap page)
 
4. set the injection address and mask
# echo address > param1
# echo mask > param2
 
5. inject error
# echo 1 > error_inject
 
6. use mcelog tool to read error info
