Subject: [PATCH 2/6] HWPOISON: Add code to handle "action required" errors.
Add new flag bit "MF_ACTION_REQUIRED" to be used by machine check
code to force a signal with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR in the case
where the error occurs in processor execution context. Pass the
flags argument along call chain:
memory_failure()
hwpoison_user_mappings()
kill_procs()
kill_proc()
Drop the "_ao" suffix from kill_procs_ao() and kill_proc_ao() since
they can now handle "action required" as well as "action optional" errors.
Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@...64.org>
