[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch series includes some improvement to Machine check handler
for pseries. Patch 1 fixes an issue where machine check handler crashes
kernel while accessing vmalloc-ed buffer while in nmi context.
Patch 2 fixes endain bug while restoring of r3 in MCE handler.
Patch 4 implements a real mode mce handler and flushes the SLBs on SLB error.
Patch 5 display's the MCE error details on console.
Patch 6 saves and dumps the SLB contents on SLB MCE errors to improve the
debugability.

Change in V4:
- Flush the SLBs in real mode mce handler to handle SLB errors for entry 0.
- Allocate buffers per cpu to hold rtas error log and old slb contents.
- Defer the logging of rtas error log to irq work queue.

Change in V3:
- Moved patch 5 to patch 2

Change in V2:
- patch 3: Display additional info (NIP and task info) in MCE error details.
- patch 5: Fix endain bug while restoring of r3 in MCE handler.
