3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit cd813e1cd7122f2c261dce5b54d1e0c97f80e1a5 upstream.
During Machine Check interrupt on pseries platform, register r3 points
RTAS extended event log passed by hypervisor. Since hypervisor uses r3
to pass pointer to rtas log, it stores the original r3 value at the
start of the memory (first 8 bytes) pointed by r3. Since hypervisor
stores this info and rtas log is in BE format, linux should make
sure to restore r3 value in correct endian format.
Without this patch when MCE handler, after recovery, returns to code that
that caused the MCE may end up with Data SLB access interrupt for invalid
address followed by kernel panic or hang.
