Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 123/160] x86/mce: Ensure offline CPUs don't participate in rendezvous process
3.19.8-ckt13 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@...el.com>
commit d90167a941f62860f35eb960e1012aa2d30e7e94 upstream.
Intel's MCA implementation broadcasts MCEs to all CPUs on the
node. This poses a problem for offlined CPUs which cannot
participate in the rendezvous process:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
Kernel Offset: disabled
Rebooting in 100 seconds..
More specifically, Linux does a soft offline of a CPU when
writing a 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online, which
doesn't prevent the #MC exception from being broadcasted to that
CPU.
Ensure that offline CPUs don't participate in the MCE rendezvous
and clear the RIP valid status bit so that a second MCE won't
cause a shutdown.
Without the patch, mce_start() will increment mce_callin and
wait for all CPUs. Offlined CPUs should avoid participating in
the rendezvous process altogether.
