HEST?

I see the timestamp in

Table 18-343 Generic Error Data Entry

where those things are "One or more Generic Error Data Entry structures
may be recorded in the Generic Error Data Entries field of the Generic
Error Status Block structure."

And those are part of the "18.3.2.7 Generic Hardware Error Source",
i.e., GHES. So why do you say "HEST" above?

Yeah, about the precise tstamp, you can do something like this:

---
diff --git a/drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c b/drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c
index 46585f92b741..a649884e2264 100644

@@ -404,10 +404,8 @@ static void cper_estatus_timestamp(const char *pfx,
year = bcd2bin(timestamp[6]);
century = bcd2bin(timestamp[7]);

- if (*(timestamp + 3) & 0x1)
- printk("%stimestamp is precise\n", pfx);
-
- printk("%stime: %02d%02d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", pfx,
+ printk("%s%ststamp: %02d%02d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", pfx,
+ (timestamp[3] & 0x1 ? "precise " : ""),
century, year, mon, day, hour, min, sec);
}
}
