[PATCH v4 11/16] powerpc/64s: machine check interrupt update NMI accounting

Fri May 8 14:34:03 AEST 2020


machine_check_early is taken as an NMI, so nmi_enter is used there.
machine_check_exception is no longer taken as an NMI (it's invoked
via irq_work in the case a machine check hits in kernel mode), so
remove the nmi_enter from that case.

In NMI context, hash faults don't try to refill the hash table, which
can lead to crashes accessing non-pinned kernel pages. System reset
still has this potential problem.
