Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mce: recover from "action required" errors reported in data path in usermode
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>
Two new entries in the mce severity table - one notes that data errors
observed by innocent bystanders (who happen to share a machine check
bank with the cpu experiencing the error) should be left alone by using
the "KEEP" severity.
Then inline in the do_machine_check() handler we process the user-mode
data error that was marked at MCE_AR_SEVERITY. Even though we are in
"machine check context" it is almost safe to do so. We have already
released all the other cpus from rendezvous and we know that the cpu
with the error was executing user code - so it cannot have interrupts
locked out, or hold any locks. I.e. this is almost equivalent to a
page fault. Only difference (and risk) is that on x86_64 we are still
on the machine check stack - so if another machine check arrives, we
are toast (we didn't clear MCG_STATUS - yet, so cpu will reset rather
than taking a nested machine check on the same stack).
Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>
---
Using the "KEEP" state avoids the complexity of my earlier solution
that sorted the cpus by severity and ran the more serious ones first.
