This patch series includes some improvement to Machine check handler for pSeries. Patch 1 fixes a buffer overrun issue if rtas extended error log size is greater than RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX. Patch 2 fixes an issue where machine check handler crashes kernel while accessing vmalloc-ed buffer while in nmi context. Patch 3 fixes endain bug while restoring of r3 in MCE handler. Patch 5 implements a real mode mce handler and flushes the SLBs on SLB error. Patch 6 display's the MCE error details on console. Patch 7 saves and dumps the SLB contents on SLB MCE errors to improve the debugability. Patch 8 consolidates mce early real mode handling code. Change in V6: - Introduce patch 8 to consolidate early real mode handling code. - Address Nick's comment on erroneous hunk. Change in V5: - Use min_t instead of max_t. - Fix an issue reported by kbuild test robot and address review comments. 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. --- Mahesh Salgaonkar (8): powerpc/pseries: Avoid using the size greater than RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX. powerpc/pseries: Defer the logging of rtas error to irq work queue. powerpc/pseries: Fix endainness while restoring of r3 in MCE handler. powerpc/pseries: Define MCE error event section. powerpc/pseries: flush SLB contents on SLB MCE errors. powerpc/pseries: Display machine check error details. powerpc/pseries: Dump the SLB contents on SLB MCE errors. powernv/pseries: consolidate code for mce early handling. arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/mmu-hash.h | 8 + arch/powerpc/include/asm/machdep.h | 1 arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h | 4 arch/powerpc/include/asm/rtas.h | 116 ++++++++++++ arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S | 18 +- arch/powerpc/kernel/mce.c | 16 +- arch/powerpc/mm/slb.c | 63 +++++++ arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pseries.h | 1 arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c | 242 +++++++++++++++++++++++-- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/setup.c | 27 +++ 10 files changed, 471 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) -- Signature
