Abstract
Disclosed systems and methods for handling failures in an information handling system enable one or more crash handlers to communicate crash handler notifications to an EC of the information handling system. The EC is configured to perform crash operations including detecting a crash occurrence associated with either a crash handler notification from any of the one or more crash handlers or an SMM crash event. The EC may extract and store crash context information associated with the crash occurrence. The crash handler notifications may be communicated to the EC as MBOX commands via a peripheral interconnect, e.g., an enhanced serial peripheral interconnect (eSPI). Detecting a crash occurrence associated with the SMM event may include initiating an EC timer responsive to receiving an SMM entry message from an SMM handler and detecting the EC timer reaching a threshold value before the EC receives an SMM exit message.
