4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5bc329503e8191c91c4c40836f062ef771d8ba83 ] When we are about to kexec a crash kernel and right then and there a broadcasted MCE fires while we're still in the first kernel and while the other CPUs remain in a holding pattern, the #MC handler of the first kernel will timeout and then panic due to never completing MCE synchronization. Handle this in a similar way as to when the CPUs are offlined when that broadcasted MCE happens.
