4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Axtens <dja@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ffb2d78eca08a1451137583d4e435aecfd6af809 upstream.
Before 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses"), in
save_mce_event, index got the value of mce_nest_count, and
mce_nest_count was incremented *after* index was set.
However, that patch changed the behaviour so that mce_nest count was
incremented *before* setting index.
This causes an off-by-one error, as get_mce_event sets index as
mce_nest_count - 1 before reading mce_event. Thus get_mce_event reads
bogus data, causing warnings like
"Machine Check Exception, Unknown event version 0 !"
and breaking MCEs handling.
Restore the old behaviour and unbreak MCE handling by subtracting one
from the newly incremented value.
The same broken change occured in machine_check_queue_event (which set
a queue read by machine_check_process_queued_event). Fix that too,
unbreaking printing of MCE information.
Fixes: 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses")
