I originally used the acronym and got feedback to expand it, but I'll revert back to just using the acronym. Using a notifier here is consistent with the SCI error type in the GHES code which is also only registered in the GHES code. I can remove the notifier for SEA if you think making the call directly is better here.On Wed, Dec 07, 2016 at 02:48:17PM -0700, Tyler Baicar wrote:SEA exceptions are often caused by an uncorrected hardware error, and are handled when data abort and instruction abort exception classes have specific values for their Fault Status Code. When SEA occurs, before killing the process, go through the handlers registered in the notification list. Update fault_info[] with specific SEA faults so that the new SEA handler is used.

That said, what is the use of having a notifier chain here as well as in the ghes code? If the ghes code is the only place to register a notifier, we may as well start simple and call that code directly, like we call handle_mm_fault directly for data aborts.

I will expand this in the next patchset.
