Subject: [PATCH -next v3 0/3] minor improvements for x86 mce processing

In this patchset, we remove the unused macro EX_TYPE_COPY and centralize
the processing of memory-failure to do_machine_check() to avoid calling
memory_failure_queue() separately for different MC-Safe scenarios. In
addition, MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN is renamed MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC to expand
its usage scope.

[1]https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230526063242.133656-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com/

since v2:
  1. remove redundant fixup type EX_TYPE_COPY.
  2. rename MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN to MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC.
  3. update patch3's commit message and the processing logic of
     EX_TYPE_DEFAULT_MCE_SAFE based on the discussion of [1].

Kefeng Wang (1):
  x86/mce: set MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC for DEFAULT_MCE_SAFE exception

Tong Tiangen (2):
  x86/mce: remove redundant fixup type EX_TYPE_COPY
  x86/mce: rename MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN to MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC
