If a machine check exception is raised in kernel mode, user context, with EVA enabled, then the do_mcheck handler will attempt to read the code around the EPC using EVA load instructions, i.e. as if the reads were from user mode. This will either read random user data if the process has anything mapped at the same address, or it will cause an exception which is handled by __get_user, resulting in this output: Code: (Bad address in epc) Fix by setting the current user access mode to kernel if the saved register context indicates the exception was taken in kernel mode. This causes __get_user to use normal loads to read the kernel code.
