[PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc/mce: Handle memcpy_mcsafe

Thu Apr 5 17:15:00 AEST 2018


Add a blocking notifier callback to be called in real-mode
on machine check exceptions for UE (ld/st) errors only.
The patch registers a callback on boot to be notified
of machine check exceptions and returns a NOTIFY_STOP when
a page of interest is seen as the source of the machine
check exception. This page of interest is a ZONE_DEVICE
page and hence for now, for memcpy_mcsafe to work, the page
needs to belong to ZONE_DEVICE and memcpy_mcsafe should be
used to access the memory.

The patch also modifies the NIP of the exception context
to go back to the fixup handler (in memcpy_mcsafe) and does
not print any error message as the error is treated as
returned via a return value and handled.
